    Correct. That was the original intent of NIL (supposedly)

    you are absolutely 100% correct

    however, when NIL budgets available to Players to capitalize on their Name, Image, or Likeness (NIL) via local business advertising, apparel sales, appearances/autograph sessions are naturally limited for players at a university like Louisiana, the university can only look to the funding sources that are available there and athletes and coaches are similarly hamstrung and can chose to deal with less or move to a university where there is more local business advertising, etc.

    Because of the limited advertising sources budgets available at a university like Louisiana, these universities have turned to concepts like collectives in an attempt to bridge the gap.

    as for the NCAA, they have been totally neutered by the US Supreme Court in this area and there is really no need for them to say anything

    One of 8 has decommitted. The one loss from the current roster will hurt, but he will utilize the portal to build the roster short term. Also, don't be surprised if the one decommitment re-commits. The portal loss has already signed with Arkansas.

    NIL is a good idea gone bad.

    It was originally intended to protect the right of players to earn income from activities not related to their sport [see Livvy Dunne]; or to allow players to capitalize on their name, image and likeness related to their sport through contracts with third parties NOT affiliated with their school [see Caitlin Clark].

    The whole concept of NIL collectives is a gross exploitation of the rules, possible because the NCAA failed to establish proper guidelines.

    THIS….I cannot express enough how much on point this comment is.

    When NIL was introduced I actually thought it was a good idea. In theory, a local business pays a player for a commercial appearance or something of the sort. Players can make money off of jersey sales. Things of that nature. What we have now is basically a slush fund for anyone and everyone to throw money at.

    the problem with this limitation is the limitation

    the Supreme Court said that an athletes right to make money is a constitutional right

    they didn’t say it was kind of a constitutional right

    so any limitation on that constitutional right is a violation of the co stitution

    it is kind of like being a little bit pregnant

    that concept is not available in pregnancy not is it available in NIL

    hope that helps many of you understand

    I know many will never accept it, however the refusal to accept it will continually limit the potential success of Louisiana athletics

    there are no if’s ands or butts about it

    I still think Gerry should have gave the program/fans a farewell post/statement or something.
    Very curious if he told the team before the news broke.

    They looked to be managing okay without it. At least up until now. Top ranked recruiting classes. More talent coming in. No big contributors leaving. Louisiana has been a destination.

    In a few years it may be different but they were weathering the storm pretty darn well if you ask me.

    More NIL deals being the driving factor to leave for a losing program seems insane.

    NIL is coming and it’s coming hard to softball

    at 65 would you prefer to be at a place thst is ahead of the curve or behind the curve

    and then there is the thing of coaching with your daughter especially after having missed out on that earlier opportunity by having lost a daughter

    things to learn . . . NIL is either coming to Louisiana or the once proud program is fixing to be not as proud . . . sticking your head in the sand because you fail to accept reality may make reality show up a lot earlier, in fact it is right on Louisiana’s doorstep

    I think he's a narcissist. He apparently went to tx tech and met that team before telling the team he coached for 7 years. That ain't right.
