re: What is the intent of NIL?

Every one of you “do you hate capitalism” morons don’t have a clue what capitalism is and are only repeating what you think is a slick gotcha.

Take it up with the Supreme Court.

Ultimately, your post reeks of jealousy. Sorry you had a 5.12 40 yard dash & couldn't bench press a sack of potatoes.

The overall culture or attitude in sports is not good among many players...or young people in general

Universities have become a woke cesspool.... of entitlement, whoa is me..."give me my space, shut when you're talking to me" attitude

I am capitalist but I am not okay with paying college players...

this is what we're doing....we're paying star players to get on campus so our beloved programs will win.

it's always been a dirty recruiting game but now the laundry is being celebrated out in the open as "capitalism"...

we forgot what the mission of the NCAA stands for....all in the name of "fairness"

The Supreme Court found that student athletes have a property right in their names, images, and likenesses that they are entitled to monetize if they so choose.

This is 100% wrong. The USSC concurred with lower courts that the NCAA By-Laws violated provisions of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The following is a link to the Harvard Law Review synopsis of the case that gave rise to NIL, Alston v. NCAA Read at least the first half dozen paragraphs.

LINK Warning heavy legal reading.

NIL is the NCAA's compromise to allow athletes an outside source of income that attempts to bring the NCAA into compliance with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

NIL is legislated on a state by state basis with all but 19 states having passed NIL statutes. No two states have the exact same law. The following is a very good article on the Louisiana NIL statute.

LA NIL Law Everyone should read this article.

ETA: Alston v. NCAA is an off-shot of the O'Bannon v. NCAA case.

Before NIL, the average 18-22 year old could be in a commercial or advertisement & profit off of it while college athletes couldn't.

I don't care to look at a 18 year olds social page, you're not adding much here...

You said no one would know these kids nor would the athletic opportunity be available without the university. That simply isn't the case anymore. Many of these recruits in high school are well known nationally.

but 150K a year to 1 million, I mean come on now....

---

Again, you are counting other people's money. If a business wants to pay a kid that amount of money to do advertising, that's their business. So you want to tell businesses how to spend their money as well not allow college athletes to earn money off their name, image & likeness? Got it.

How about you look into which Supreme Court Justice made the NIL ruling.

The Supreme Court has no business being involved in this to begin with but like all things of this nature when special interest groups want something bad enough they buy off the levers of government to strong arm their way. What happened here is grotesque and illegal, just because corruption made it so doesn’t make it legit. If their argument was that these kids are old enough to work in this profession they could’ve had the NFL adjust for it but they didn’t because it has nothing to do with the pretext they used.

Okay but sports provides that avenue...

sports provides a scholarship,- 95% of students do not get

is the goal higher learning or some 5 star get paid?

and with out LSU being the brand that it is, the SEC brand that it or is CFB that it is, being a HS star would not mean jack shite...

you can't have one without the other...

whose money is not the point.

I believe local companies are being pressured "go make a deal so we can get this kid on our campus legally" wink wink

frankly, most business have no interest in marketing a football player to sell their services or products...

an 18 year old is of little value to a business regardless of football talent. A pro bowl athlete maybe....and they don't do that many commercials

this is about rich alumni helping their school win

that part isn't new

Mea culpa, mea culpa.

Just attempting to get people to read and understand the what, where and why. If you read this thread and any other NIL thread on the various different boards it is amazing the amount of misinformation and pure bullshite that is being spewed.

The two links I posted above should inform our fanbase, but I fear raw emotion will prevail.
