Court will knock that down. Restricting ability to earn a living.

What is the RP lawyers take on this?

[CrazyCajun]

It is ABSOLUTELY UNIVERSITY by proxy

it’s not university funds

You are projecting based on what is happening right now.

If they have no offers yet, they are much more likely to remain in trying to impress mode.

If what you say were true, 100% of soon to be drafted NFL players throughout history would have opted out of bowl games.

The problem is they have offers before they even enter the portal. Did you not see Coach Des post game remarks about this?

No compete clauses are legal.

Sign em.

Not true.

But it’s not the university paying them, which would make them employees and require a players union. It’s collectives gathering money from donors. Things would actually be more controllable if they became employees of universities, because they could then be traded and schools could be compensated for losing guys, like the pros.

Soon schools will be able to spend $20 million per year on athletes spread out all across the sports they have. It's pay for play.

it’s not university funds

Will revenue sharing not be considered university funds? Cause that is what is about to happen

[Turbine]

Not true.

The FTC tried to ban them and were overruled in 2024.

This does not mean the issue will go away, the FTC is appealing.

Making athletes university employees will be the death of college sports. Career ending injuries, lawsuits due to “termination” and such is something the billboard lawyers will play both sides of the fence.

That is pay for play, what it is currently isn’t. The ruling of making them sit out being unconstitutional is a different topic. A pro player can no longer be employed by the league but they can never stop them from making money on their NIL. It’s 2 different things. Even with revenue sharing the players will still be able to make money outside of that. That will make sure every player is getting something.

You eloquently explained the mountain UL and the rest of the”mid majors” face in basketball, especially at public universities with FBS football. It’s an uphill fight before the ball is tossed for the season opening tip.

The same b*tch fest RP has become over MBB is about a decade away for football. The Napier Era will be longed for like the Beryl and Bobby Era is today.

Once the lawyers got involved this whole thing went to crap, just like everything else in this country. Most Lawyers(not all) are the scum of this earth over money, greed, control, and power. Lawyers control our legislation, courts, and your every day lives while they get richer!
Don't worry: They will meet their maker one day!
