The schools would rightfully be torched in the PR arena if they tried to make the move you suggest. It's an idea only slightly less terrible than OP's. 99.9% of NCAA athletes will see extremely little to zero benefit from NIL.


I don't believe so. Athletes are making demands that they be given the right to make money off of NIL, and also the right to transfer without being forced to sit out a year. Both of which I support.

However, the schools will invest in an individual to help develop them, win, and get them to the next level. That individual can now jump ship to a better team without any financial recuperation for the losing institution. I believe that there should be some mechanism setup that allows for anyone to transfer to anywhere, but makes it less likely due to a buyout clause of some sort.

Well that just reinforces my comments from earlier in this thread about how ridiculous this thread is.

So what? Coaches, trainers, admin all can leave whenever they choose, why does the athlete need to be stuck? That makes no logical sense other than that's how it used to be. Why when the athletes get a just a little piece of the pie do people like you want to punish them for it?

The "buyout" is any remaining scholarship funds they'd have used in the future at that institution. What you want is a penalty, and you give absolutely zero good reason for it.

Is this currently a possible scenario out there in wild:

Chemistry major on full scholarship has a youtube channel that does at home experiments and other science content. They make money from the channel. Maybe they get bigger and get paid to go on a science program, or they get sponsored by DOW Chemical or something.

Should that student's scholarship be brought under the microscope and potentially negatively impacted? Is it now, and if not, would it have to be in your scenario? If not, why not?
