Cap NIL



You can't do this. The Supreme Court decision that opened the doors for NIL in the first place doesn't allow a restriction like this.


The NCAA can't put restrictions on NIL earnings. A "salary cap" counts as such a restriction. A "salary cap" would be no different from outlawing NIL entirely from a legal perspective. Both are a restriction, and neither are allowed.


The only way that the NCAA can cap earnings is if they agree to treat players as employees. And that's not gonna happen any time soon.

The Supreme Court decision did not actually address NIL. Kavanaugh fired a shot across the bow in his concurring opinion but the ruling itself was very limited in scope.

The real issue is that state NIL laws went into effect, which put the NCAA in a tough spot. Without any federal legislation, the NCAA cannot enforce any rules that force universities to choose between compliance with state laws or compliance with NCAA rules.

So it’s the individual state NIL laws that really tied the NCAA’s hands.

This I agree with 100%. The only way the NCAA or even the P5 conferences regain full control is by entering collective bargaining. Honestly I don’t think it would be that bad - certainly better from a competition standpoint than a free for all. If the “market” truly doesn’t support millions of dollars for college athletes, then any collective bargaining agreement should ultimately reflect that.
