The new NCAA NIL to pay players: How does it impact LSU football?
Posted on 5/1/20 at 1:33 pm
Posted on 5/1/20 at 1:33 pm
The first thing I heard this was: Paying players
This would be a disaster for college athletics in general.
(1) Instead of coaches sitting down with parents, high school coaches and recruits, third rate low life agents would be sniffing around high school campuses dishing out cash and god knows what.
(2) I mean 5 star high school athletes would be getting paid millions even before they have played a down of college football. And we know that quite a few 5 star athletes never pan out.
(3) Greedy agents and unethical boosters shoving cash to impressionable teenagers and parents trying to use their kids as ATM machines......that is a recipe for disaster.
(4) Playing college football is demanding and going to school full time makes it more challenging. On top of that how will the kids handle endorsement deals, 'jobs' with boosters, meetings with agents etc. Can they juggle all this....handle the fame thrust upon them....and still focus on playing football / studying. Which means academics will be a back seat, and college ball clubs will be minor pro league and nothing else.
....Quite a few student athletes go on to become doctors, dentists, accountants etc.
(5) Worst part is politicians are getting involved. California has passed legislation, Florida wants to do the same and New Jersey of all places....
How does a state school in one of the poorest states in the country...keep up with the billion dollar player deals....?

It basically makes it legal to pay player and write it off as a business expense.

There are other professions where this occurs all the time. Also other sports. I just think it will ruin college sports.

Every power 5 team already pays their players, it won’t be anything new

Going pro will be a pay cut at some universities IMO, like Alabama, now....But, other teams will be able to compete, so there’$ that.....

There is supposed to be a limit to what a player can make in order to prevent this. However retards like Jay Bilias are calling this unfair for the athlete.

College football as we knew it is over, agents will now be sitting in on recruiting. I’m just glad LSU won the last true college title. Big Markets, Boosters and agents will now run the sport.

There is going to have to be some sort of limit or regulation for this.
If its the wild west then several large, rich and spend happy alumni bases will make their teams dominant for the duration.
Large Bama bank booster will big paying $10k per autograph weekly for the top players on the team, etc.

You nailed it. I posted in another thread a couple days ago that this will make the FBI AAU shoe company agent fiasco look like kindergarten...
Now to recruit players you will have to recruit a commercial sponsor package as well.

I’m against this, but it benefits major programs like LSU.
This coupled with easy transfers is horrible for the sport

It means no more free auto graphs
Someone like fournette could have had an autograph signing somewhere for $100 an autograph while at LSU or If LSU gift shop sells a burrow Jersey last year while burrow was at LSU he could get a percentage of that
The gift shop could sell a jersey of current player with name on back instead of just a number

It will make it harder to cherry pick certain states now. LSU has big boosters but schools like Texas AM, Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Bama, Tennessee, Clemson are also big and have a lot more money and possibly have more boosters which means more money. LSU student capacity is 30ish K and like Texas AM has like 50ish K.
It’ll be harder to compete with the bigger bags.
Some kids might start going to smaller schools also. There will only be so much money to give.
Also Jerry is an Arkansas alumni. Dude had a 250 million Yacht

The schools will not have to pay a dime to the players. It allows the players to go out and make money separately from the scholarship from the school. If I had to guess the NCAA is going to have a list of approved companies the player can have endorsements and companies will have to register if they want to do it.
It’s basically like O getting an endorsement deal with Raising Canes. It is separate from his contract with the school. They can use their names and image but it can’t say LSU on it anywhere.

I think its stupid to put a cap on what a player can make. I do believe in capping what a player can make on endorsement deals per season/month/year and allow them to collect that check once they are finished with college.

Same thought. Big fish in a little pond could mean more endorsement opportunities, but also this could help kids go to where they truly want as opposed to which boosters will keep sliding me cash under the table.

This will weed out many who can't handle attention and money. Their bad character will be exposed before they get near a college.

Rumor is the NCAA is going to let chaos reign for a few years to demonstrate why its bad to pay college athletes in order to justify shifting back to scholarships and stipends only.

Highly unlikely. LSU had 7 five-stars on the 2019 roster. Alabama has 11. Georgia had 14. Where is all of this money going to come from? I’m not a huge fan given the potential for unintended consequences, but acting like all of these high school kids are going to start receiving NFL money is asinine.

If players actually want to play at the next level, they will presumably want to stay eligible in college. Is it a potential distraction? Sure. But these kids have TONS of distractions already. You don’t become a top player in FBS football without having your priorities in order.

Definately the same players who will be getting paid by boosters.

You mean states are passing laws that affect universities which are run by.. the states? The horror!

Billion dollar player deals? Where are you coming up with this crap?
ETA: Again, I don’t love the idea of players getting paid. But some of the hot takes on this issue are just ridiculous.

So, nothing new.

Where is that article does it say they will make millions? I think people are over reacting too soon. We don't know the details on this, and I am guessing there will be some pretty strict restrictions.

Once again. So, nothing changes.

LSU boosters aren't hurting for money.

That remains to be seen, what you are really saying, though, is this will be a disaster for a specific subset of fans of college athletics.
