re: NIL restrictions

Should be.

This money is coming from boosters of the school and has nothing to do with NIL. Isn’t that supposed to be still against the rules?

There actually are some rules on NIL and the collectives were created relatively quickly to fall in line with the regs.

The boosters create a company (the collective) and fund that company. The company is a separate entity from the university, boosters, and players. It's going to get really difficult for the NCAA to regulate these companies for things like viability (or whatever standards you want to use). Also, often the companies are created as charitable (even though I think the IRS has said the donations aren't tax deductible). If you have a charity who wants to sponsor players due to the players' NIL, how does the NCAA regulate that?

This isn't that easy to do.

Go back to the old transfer rules where you have to sit out a year unless you are a grad transfer or you go down a level would help a lot. The free agency aspect of the portal pisses me off more than blatantly paying a kid.

If the athletes come back and say you are restricting my ability to earn then say ok you are now free to go pro straight out of high school

Agree with both of these.

Also add in that a portion or all of your “free athletic scholarship” is to be paid with your nil money depending on how much you’re making. Your nil earnings must be reported and filed properly and in a timely manner in order to be eligible.
You’re getting paid now, boys, so welcome to the working world and start pulling your own weight.

Yeah NIL is just replacing the old under the table payments with over the table payments. I assume the budgets are roughly the same. The TRANSFER rules are the ones causing chaos. I don't even think the portal is the issue and I think it's a good idea to organize transfers. The one time free transfer and then NCAA handing out waivers for 2nd/3rd transfers is why there is chaos.

Eliminate all free transfers (including the grad transfer rule) and the chaos dies down a great deal. NIL will work itself out over time.

dont see how that changws anything I said

I assume that by using "we" you are at least subliminally coming right out and saying that fans should have a voice and a say-so in this stuff?

Yeah that’s what I mean, I don’t think there should be no portal, they just should come up with a balanced set of criteria for both sides that allows the players a reasonable amount of agency in their careers without completely disrupting the sports structure year to year with the constant movement

1 time transfer, with an additional transfer through graduating. Released from that obligation if their coach is fired/replaced.

Another option that would never happen would be to allow more free transfers if you go from the power 2 conferences to the G5 conferences. Could help balance the talent across the lower levels in the new era of CFB which is actively trying to eliminate them from the equation. Going from Ohio state to Michigan costs you a season of eligibility, but if that 5 star safety wants to go to Marshall, go for it. Again just spitballing an idea that’ll never happen

The NCAA is just in a ponzi holding pattern now trying to avoid and delay legal battles they know they won’t win. That’s been Emmerts game plan the last couple decades, “the plane is going down, might as well cash out as much as possible while you can”

NCAA needs to revisit it's mission statement and get back to it quickly...

The NCAA has been spanked by a Federal Court every time they try and restrict NIL. Not sure what you really think they can do at this point

---

This. The NCAA's chance at doing anything ended after the court decision. If the NCAA had done things about stipends or payments 10 years ago, it probably wouldn't have gotten where we are now. Football will not look like the past ever again.
