NIL restrictions

The restriction needs to be on the number of transfers.

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

That's complete BS

and frankly not sure why the NCAA needs permission to put in rules

everything about college has rules to it

you're providing excuses

what should the restrictions be, just make the make the argument because noone is happy with the NIL

quote:

---

NIL doesn’t pay players to use their name, image and likeness (which is what the acronym stands for). It’s straight up paying kids to sign/play for a particular school.

They’re not even trying to follow the “spirit” of NIL because nobody can enforce it.

fair enough but it's hard to unpack and prove it isn't for name image and likeness.

Because you are right, restrictions must be added to ensure the intent is validated in the process rather than allowing corruption to go off the rails

Put the money in annuities for the kids until they reach the age of 25. No 17/18 year old kid should have access to millions.

quote:

---

Restriction 1 ) Restrict it to payments for name, image, and likeness

This. If the university sells a jersey with your name, you get 1 % of that sale. I mean it's not really that complicated

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. I do agree there needs to be transparency and I think the NCAA probably legally could institute a salary cap of sorts. You want to spend half your cap on a QB then you have to build the rest of your team with what’s left.

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…. Good luck with that 99.9% of recruits. Nobody is a top earner in their field at 18 damn years old.

This would really put talent evaluation and development back at the forefront. When your Moneyball guy tells you these two 3 stars with upside cost the same as that one 4 star it makes for a very interesting recruiting. No one school could buy all the top talent and maintain a 85 man roster. You would have a few teams that would go the pro roster route and have like a 55 man roster of higher rated guys but would be super thin.

There needs to be a cap on NIL and transfers should not be mentioned, looked at, talked about, etc until after all Bowl and playoff games.

The players need to become employees for the university. Just like coaches. Sign multi year contracts. If another school wants to poach a player they pay the school a buy out and give player a new contract

People want to pay kids because of capitalism. But in what world do you have complete independent contract workers paid directly by a third party?

What about each school having a payroll section that collects all money for NIL, pay for play, etc. for college football.
1)Direct payment by a booster results in ineligibility for a year and for any future pay. Wins are also forfeited as well as scholarships. It has to go through the school.
2) At the end of the year the payroll section pays 5th year players 25% of the funds collected, 4 year players get 22%, 3 year players get 20%, 2nd year players get 18% and first year players get 15%.
3) Transfers have to sit out one year unless you are a graduate student.
4) Transfers forfeit their pay for the prior year unless the coach is fired or leaves.
5) Kids who are cut or “processed” get severance pay.
6) If a player opt out of a bowl game or games, the player forfeits 5% of their pay that year.
