NIL and scholarship limits
Posted on 1/5/22 at 10:39 am

What keeps a team from using NIL money for walk on players and not counting against the scholarship limit. The scholarship is worth way less than what a high profile recruit can make through NIL.

Probably belongs on the MSB.

Rules?
We're way past that now.

Schools are not paying the money. It is private businesses.

Though if a school starts having 4* recruits coming in as walk on's, that should attract some NCAA prying eyes.

If there is a “disconnect “ between NIL and schools I don’t see where rules come into play. There are no NCAA rules applicable to businesses/boosters.

People need to look at NIL like pro players doing commercials.
Aaron Rodgers can make as much as he wants doing commercials for insurance and car dealers and it has no effect on his NFL salary. Nor the salary cap.

They can attract every eye in the universe, the NCAA has no business or jurisdiction or shred of ability to stay that a player can't sign a contract with a company.
I think the new rule is fricking up football, but they wrote it this way.

But the commercials do not keep Rogers in Green Bay. He can get endorsements in any city.
And there in lies the problem.

Bergstrom Chevrolet isn't paying him to do commercials if he's in LA.

A dealership in LA will pay him. My point is he is under contract. And that keeps him in GB. Can you imagine the chaos in the NFL if players were signed to 1 year contracts.

Are specific professional teams attracting players over other teams because of their ability to get their pro players to "do commercials," and using that to their advantage accordingly?
I guess you could say some may be subtly doing so by highlighting attracting their connections to certain "big markets," but the Aaron Rodgers example you chose to cite sort of dispels that notion.

Depends what school.
Beloved Michigan, no way. Central Michigan, they'd better have their bottoms puckered.

The point is the money is not coming from the school. The NCAA can't do a fricking thing about it as they can no longer restrict the players from earning money from outside sources per the law.
People asked for it and they got it.
People that thought top players would be making a few bucks from autographs were morons.

Sounds like a nice little loop hole to get ahead of the curve. Somebody call Gordon and get this going before Saban thinks of it.

I couldn’t agree more.
The college football I grew up with is over. And I doubt that the new college football will appeal to me.
I do see the transfer portal becoming more of a recruiting source than high school.

Most notably would be the players not wanting to blow most of their money paying for school out of pocket

Oh my... you think 5 star players are gonna walk on without a scholarship. LSU is like 36k a year for out of state students. Not a one of them want to waste their earnings on that

do they not sanction the teams, schools, and conferences that player plays in?

Football is unique in that Aaron Rodgers can be in the smallest market and still compete for Super Bowls, but it's absolutely messed up the NBA and to a lesser extent baseball
