Like I've asked before, how will schools that can't pay anywhere near the cap be able to compete?

They will have to implement a cap! No way around it! If not it will be like it was years ago when illegal recruiting wasn’t dealt with!

Minor league?

These kids are being paid more than 99.999% of any minor league athlete

They will be in the same position that they are in now?

Are the athletes involved in the negotiations? If not, absent a legislative antitrust exemption, not sure how this works.

They won't but in fairness, the rich were already getting richer from a talent acquisition perspective long before NIL.

it won't work.

most you can do is limit how much can come directly from the school itself.

NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. can not tell Nike how much they can/can't pay a player for endorsements.

NIL is just a fancy new term for endorsements.

It won't matter. Unless there is some collective bargaining agreement, a cap can't be established.

Just because the incredibly uninformed OP says a cap is being proposed doesn't mean it's a reality, or even an inevitability.

Anyone can propose it. I propose they go back to sitting out a year for your second transfer. Oh look, I just created another proposal that won't happen.

There will be under the table agreements just like before.

No change in where top athletes go.

This is ridiculous. You can't put a cap on NIL. The lid is opened and the players can sign as many private contracts as they want.

You're probably just meaning caps on NIL money from school sponsored collectives, because I highly doubt you can stop Joe's car dealership from just giving a kid 100 grand.

And for the one billionth time, the issue is NOT NIL money, it is the transfer portal, period. The way the transfer portal currently works does not penalize someone for choosing the wrong school or going there for money. If the transfer portal rules were more restrictive, you increase the chances that players go somewhere they actually want to play rather than following dollar signs only with the intent to transfer out later.

How are you going to cap what someone can make in endorsements

They won’t! They’ll cap off what players can get paid from the NIL collectives.

So if Harold Perkins can only make $250k playing for LSU, then he can still get paid $2M from Gordon & $2M from Raising Cane’s.

“Salary Cap” is a myth, but it’s a good step to put some kind of regulations in place
