re: Rant...Institute a "Salary" Cap

Thoughts on instituting a "NIL Cap" similar to salary cap
How are you going to do that, exactly? And don't go with "the NFL has a salary cap, why can't college football". NIL is not a salary, it is supposed to allow the players to profit off their name recognition (and image, obviously) via private companies for products or services that take advantage of their popularity. Like pro athletes do outside of their salary.
Profit sharing is supposed to eliminate NIL collectives. But it will not. It may give the NCAA and conferences more leverage to regulate some things. We will see.
It has been clear that the courts tend to side with athletes regarding limitations on their earnings. The NCAA seems to be frozen into inaction for fear of taking the wrong action. I think they will have to eventually so something but not sure what that will look like.

I'm not quite following. Are you saying the "cap" would be on the amount the school could pay? If so, there already is a cap on that. It's effectively zero. The schools can't pay the players to play.
C'mon man, you actually believe that the universities aren't orchestrating the money being delivered from boosters. There is NO cap right now and it certainly is not 0. BTW, make sure you put milk and cookies out for Santa.

I flew out to my platform today, but I plan on watching even though I'll be dead tired probably.

We're all having trouble adjusting to the fact that the sport as we knew it is dead.
It sucks that LSU isn't part of it, but I can't wait till the playoffs. I have enjoyed this CFB season very much. The parity is wondering. Is there some things that need fixing, absolutely, but it will eventually move towards that.

I'll stop watching next year.
No you won't. Why not start now? You'll be here next year complaining, just like you are in this thread complaining now about a "dead" sport that you don't care about.

This will be a decent test/stepping stone as others have said. FSU is neither great nor bad thus far. It will be nice to take a hard fought win tonight.

You can't institute a salary cap because you're restricting how much an athlete can earn from their own name, image and likeness. This money isn't necessarily coming from the school. The supreme court said they can get paid, NCAA had no framework for this, so now we're left with unlimited transfer, uncapped salary, no contract athletes.
NCAA tells Universities that their players can be paid as much as they like, but if their team is collectively over $X.XX in NIL, they aren't eligible for post-season play.

I agree. That's what I am saying though.. Why not have limited transfer, capped salary, and contracted athletes?? Major sports and teams are limited on how much they can pay players. If Michigan wants to dump their NIL via their donors on one player, than they should be stuck with just that one player. Similar to NFL teams locking themselves up in a QB. Federal government and NCAA can institute and tweak framework that is already there..
Big difference. Pro teams have salary caps not NIL caps. No court will allow NIL to be capped.

I'm not a lawyer and apparently neither are you because your statement is wrong. You CAN implement a salary cap. The salary cap is NOT on the players...it is on the colleges.
He’s actually right and you’re wrong. The players aren’t being paid a salary. They’re being paid endorsements for the name image and likeness. No court will allow a cap on that

The NCAA will never be able to cap the money.
The only hope they have is to reword the language on the scholarship offer to separate playing a sport for a school and getting an education from a school.
They could make scholarships multi year deals and limit how much turnover schools can have each year. That would slow down player movement and in turn slow down NIL. It wouldn’t restrict students from getting a free education or still earning NIL.

No, you are wrong and apparently can't read. I have said the salary cap would be on the universities and NOT on the players. Indeed the court would rule that would be "restraint of trade" or some such which is why that wouldn't work on the players. And of course, it would be EASILY proven that the players ARE getting paid a salary. That NIL nonsense would be easily disproven when "name, image, likeness" isn't even relevant when the player hasn't even entered college yet. He has $0.00 NIL worth at that point and that facade fraud could be easily exposed in court.
