Say goodbye to mid majors

At some point Universities will be in a predicament with their boosters, do you want them to fund the athletic foundation or fund the NIL collective?

Think we’re there now.

Here's another article worth reading.

Found this…sobriety will set into NIL at some point..

“By the way, just to put these amounts into sobering context, Brock Purdy who is undefeated as the starting QB for the San Francisco 49ers is on a rookie contract valued at $3.7 million over four years. Let that marinate.”

NIL is fixing to make that number much, much more if it has not already . . .

What has the Supreme Court said on No Compete Clauses?

What is the connection between a non compete clause and a salary cap/limitation?

[R1Letterman]

That they aren't valid.

Neither is forcing someone to bake a cake, but they have tried at least three more times, go figure

He’s not going to say anything and he doesn’t need to. Sounds like Florida’s NIL collective quite literally wrote a check that they couldn’t cash. And I don’t know about you, but if I enter into a business agreement with someone and the agreed upon payment doesn’t materialize, I’m walking too.

“couldnt” or changed their mind and “didnt want to” anymore?

Well, this may be a harbinger of things to come. Looks like too much money and ego are not good. This is going to even divide the P-5s. From The Athletic.
Texas A&M has lost 25 scholarship players in one offseason. Eighteen were blue-chip recruits. Eight were top-100 recruits, including five-stars Denver Harris and Chris Marshall. Seven were freshmen from their top-ranked 2022 recruiting class. Fascinating dynamic at A&M now.

john feinstein should write a book about that!

If it is not reeled back in, they will create a de facto Minor League system for the NFL of about 20 or so organizations that have the resources and the will to do this. At some point, those schools will create a new "conference" that is Nation Wide, completely untethered to the NCAA.

The rest of us will settle into a system that is governed by the NCAA with reasonable caps on NIL and stricter transfer rules to protect competition.

That would be ok with me.

in other words “select” or “non select”?

[R1Letterman]

The NCAA is powerless to cap NIL since the United Supreme Court and has spoken as such on the issue . . .

but they could enforce it, it has to provide an “N” or an “I” or an “L” to promote something, hopefully of value…. a “collective” has no product, isnt that what they used to accuse ponzi schemes of, having no product?

or the actual school….
