Should the TAF fees we pay for season tickets be converted

to NIL funds instead or is it all part of the same pie anyway?
Maybe it's time to reroute that source of funding going forward.

Are NIL collectives even going to be a thing once we move to the revenue sharing model & directly paying players that way?

Revenue sharing is about to kick in so, in a way, yes.

NIL collectives may go away but I bet under the table payments return even with revenue sharing

I think TAF indirectly helps fund the NIL collective for LSU but that's only part of it. They still have to pay for the other shite TAF handles.
LSU should just find creative ways to fund NIL. TN does a 10% fee to their ticket prices - why can't LSU do something similar? Or maybe player meet & greet dinners, raffles, etc.. There are many things LSU could be doing but they're actively choosing to be lackluster and sit on the sidelines while everyone else passes us up.
Andrew Luck was recently hired as Stanford's program manager for football and LSU should hire for that position so they can have someone specifically in charge of NIL for football. An advocate for each program would be wonderful. I vote for the Honey Badger being hired in that position when he retires from football. He'd be fantastic for that role.

Collectives might go away but NIL will remain. Players will still go to schools that pay the most money.
I think the OP has a good idea but no way AD gives up that revenue. They will continue to squeeze as much out of the fanbase as possible.

I think collectives will go away. There will be revenue sharing from the schools. However, there is nothing that will stop Gordon Mckernan from paying Nussmeier 1 million to do commercials for him.

Why would they be made under the table NIL has nothing to do w changes been made w RS . If Todd Graves wants to give Joe QB 1mil he
can do it at midfield in front of everyone at Halftime. Nothing will Change.

Does revenue sharing preclude NIL? I haven’t seen anything that says once revenue sharing starts that NIL goes away. What’s to stop an athlete from getting paid through revenue sharing to then get an NIL deal added to his revenue share? I don’t see how revenue sharing makes the NIL problem go away. And why would the courts change their previous rulings on NIL just because revenue sharing is now in place?

You are correct. You think the AD is now going to give up those fees that he has been receiving for years and now hand it over to the players. No way. They will try to squeeze the fans first.

Well stated. For this reason, I do not see how revenue sharing stops the madness.

Will revenue sharing hurt the other major sports in the long run if college football players are sharing significantly more money per player than the other sports?

This NIL is the kiss of death for college football.
Posted on 12/5/24 at 1:48 pm to nicholastiger
I'd feel better about under the table the money.

This NIL is the kiss of death for college football.
Now the NCAA could return to the previous rule where a transfer had to sit out a year. That would slow down the movement of players and perhaps slow down some NIL, but now that the genie is out of the bottle, I don't know how the NCAA could return to their prior transfer rules.
The entire thing is a mess, and college football is now basically a pro league. And we already have one of those, and don't need another.
The game we knew a few years ago is long gone. And that's a shame.
