what should they be?

We're dealing with unintended consequences, therefore the NCAA has to adapt, it has to step in this summer and make big changes to set us back on a healthy path.

I am asking what you think the restrictions should be?

We need common sense to prevail here. Provide student athletes funds when needs to need to met.

The situation has escalated to players wanting generational security before they have done anything of value for themselves or the university.


The money is going to dry up because it's not sustainable to pay unproven HS players all this money on potential to help my "beloved school win games".


I believe we need to get back to treating young athletes seeking an athletic scholarship as student athletes rather than treating them as pro athletes in free agency.

That's not the intent of NIL. So fix it!

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

The restriction needs to be on the number of transfers.

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

The only thing I can remotely think about would be to make it a public database of reporting all NIL payments by the athletes. Making transfers sit out a year seems like an option, but I think putting the figures in the open would reveal that maybe those numbers are highly inflated. I just don’t believe a swath of college athletes make more than NFL roster guys

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.

I sure hope someone is thinking of something. Contacts with universities is the only thing that can in my mind. That opens up a crazy can of worms though.

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

Install buyout clauses in these deals. If a player leaves he would owe money back to the issuer of the deal.

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.

I feel like one thing is that NIL deals or offers should not be allowed before a player signs to attend a particular college. The whole point of NIL was supposed to be for the players to get compensated while in school for things such as being in a commercial or sign autographs or sell shirts etc. Not supposed to be "hey come to school here and I'll give you $100,000.

It boggles my mind the amount of people that still don't understand NIL after a few years. You can't "restrict" NIL. It's literally illegal to even try it. But if you don't like CFB right now, you won't like where it is going, and very fast, so maybe just stop watching?

Im all for restricting NIL when we also restrict coaching salaries and how much schools make in TV money

What’s the tax implications on NIL? Is it treated at regular income?

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.

You guys seem to be under the assumption that restrictions are even possible at this point.

Unless the schools begin to give contracts to these players, there probably is no way to restrict any of this.

The NCAA has lost pretty much every legal challenge, haven’t they?
