Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. Judge just ruled that NCAA can't enforce NIL rules. Basically just openly made NIL the real wild west. Only applies to Tennessee and Virginia at the moment, but I would assume other states will follow. Get ready for a rise in ticket prices.

Judges and Congress have ruined college football.

There is absolutely no reason for any school to give a shite what the NCAA says at this point. Take it to court, and the NCAA will get smacked down.

I can’t wait to celebrate with Jordy Culotta on Monday’s show.

The NCAA's prohibition likely violates federal antitrust law

Oh this shite is fitna get good…

quote:

The NCAA's prohibition likely violates federal antitrust law and harms student-athletes," U.S. District Judge Clifton Corker said in the decision handed down on Friday.

NCAA athletes have been permitted to earn NIL compensation since July 2021, but within certain parameters. For example, schools are not allowed to directly recruit players -- high school prospects or transfer portal entrants -- using NIL opportunities. Friday's ruling changes that for the time being and is merely the latest example of the NCAA struggles in court. A U.S. District Court judge in West Virginia issued a ruling in December against the NCAA's transfer restrictions that led to numerous second-time transfers around the country gaining immediate eligibility in basketball.

NCAA president Charlie Baker has since indicated the organization won't push for transfer restrictions moving forward; however, the NCAA's stance on the lawsuit brought by Tennessee and Virginia has been a bit colder so far.

This was the deal as soon as the Supreme Court made a decision, and is why the NCAA hasn’t really even tried to do anything. They’re fricked, and nothing will hold up in court unless the players somehow decide to unionize and collectively bargain.

I always wondered why these college presidents feel loyal to the NCAA.

Well, if the university presidents would impose and enforce by the NCAA that all athletes must attend classes and meet a minimum grade point average then 75% of these NIL athletes would have a problem. Would be kicked out of school and not be able to play. But we know money rules the roost.

As the NCAA becomes less profitable we move closer to these athletes becoming employees which they aren’t going to like or at least the greater portion.

I have no problem with a kid making a deal off his own NIL, but the way it is now there is no structure, rules, etc. Schools should never have been allowed to get involved in the deals. The cat's out of the bag, though, so here we are.

Schools need to just stop pretending that these are "student-athletes." They are being paid. They are employees or at the very least contract labor. These are the minor leagues for all of the professional leagues and tours.

The NCAA is being big leagued by the courts at every turn and people act like they are at fault for that. They can’t do anything more really more and that’s the states’/Feds’ fault.

How long did NIL take to go from “we should get a portion of sales when someone buys my jersey” to full on legalized bribery for recruits?
