Louisiana law says the same also prohibits use of school logos, etc. Without consent of the school.


Texas law doesn't allow any player to use school logos etc at all


I would take these State laws with a grain of salt, if the State can regulate the ability of a private institution the ability to sell its logos... that to me would be a "taking".

Eventually, nobody is going to be able to stop what is going to occur.

Probably have 90-0 in conference games eventually, the TV/radio contracts will take a major hit plus merchandise. The margins will be squeezed... all of these new facilities will be a distant memory.

The NCAA will basically have to split into groups and deal with significantly less money overall.

Ability to transfer, refusal to play and no real salary caps will make it unwatchable, in the future.

I don't know how this whole deal will pan out.....but I think it will create some problems for sure!

It will make recruting even more vicious than it already is.....

I would have to go back and read the bill, but I could see that. Thereby they are giving private institutions a huge lift.

As far as I can see the boosters or third parties can pay a player for anything as long as they don't work with the school.

(nice post I might need to go reread the bill)

Serious?

The NCAA can't keep what is a salary cap, the conferences/schools maybe able to install restricts on smaller scales.

Its the whole reason why pro sports wants a salary cap, without the cap the product suffers. They are going to have to split, of course most of the big money stuff will be eventually be impacted.

At what point is it a distraction? Brennan says he can’t wait to work with businesses. Shouldn’t he work on his school work and bettering himself on the field?
They are still student-athletes, right?

I’m not sure how it all works so maybe someone can explain. I’ll use Brennan as an example. Can he get paid from let’s say an insurance company to do a commercial? And in that commercial can he wear LSU gear?

Can car dealerships pay Bama players with Chargers, legally now? Is there a cap on what they can make?

Forgive my ignorance I’m generally curious at the rules to all this.

What is happening is the NCAA is basically out of it, they passed new rules today and still have pay to play restrictions. However, those will most likely be considered by the Justice Department and probably by the courts as violations of the Sherman Act.

They (NCAA) really has no way of enforcing anything when it comes to money, not really.

I see no reason why a booster can't pay a player to play with a Charger (generally), although there could be some type of State restriction or law that might need to go thru the court system.

I would say no NCAA rules, although they passed these new rules which are just as dumb as the old rules.

I would say anything goes... but it might take awhile for everyone to figure it out.

There are no rules.

Players won’t be able to market off the the LSU trademarks and logos without LSUs permission. I suspect LSU will license that ability to the players and their partners for some portion of profit.

Thanks!

Seems like this whole thing could cripple a once passionate game.
I’m not opposed to players receiving more benefits, to their already free ride to making something of themselves, but it sounds like eventually it will get out of hand.

Its a strange situation because the NCAA played their losing hand way too long, about 10 years too long. Now the states and federal government are involved, and they will make it worse on top of it.

I would suspect the schools margins on big money sports are going to mostly go away, at some point.

Wait till the players figure out they can all just refuse to play without payment right on the field.

Imagine the National Championship game and a team decides not even to hike the ball. They have no contract to perform.

Welp.
Been a blast, boys.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"

Well you used the words modern day....
I didn’t.
So maybe you’re lost. College football was built on passion. The game. The pageantry.

Now it’s simply a bonus on the side if a program is fortunate to maintain that these days. The players will no longer care about wearing a childhood favorites jersey colors.
They’ll only care about who’s offering more dough.

If you want NFL-lite (but even worse Bc there’s no contracts so players can flip schools whenever they feel like it now Bc of transfer rules) then good for you.

But a lot of us don’t want that. Guess you need to find out the hard way.
I fully understand all the attention has turned to money lately. And that’s exactly the problem.

Will be really interesting when these kids find out they have to pay taxes on this new money unlike the hundred dollar handshakes and other under the table tax free money they made.
