I think they should put a hard cap on NIL amounts

It’s okay for kids to get paid I get that, but just cap it at 1 or 200k that’s still more money anybody else on campus will have and way more than enough to live on while you play ball somewhere for 4 years but not enough that it’s worth completely throwing away the opportunity to go to class and get a degree and also doesn’t allow certain schools with humongous wallets to just buy recruiting classes. Why couldn’t this be implemented

Sounds un-American.

Good luck tracking that.

I don't care about the amount of money these kids are making. What is hurting the sport is the free reign of it all. In pro sports, you can't just decide to leave a few months after joining a team. NIL could work fine on its own. Free transfers can work fine on its own. Implementing them together is what has created this wild west situation.

Doesn't sound legal. NIL isn't a salary, even if the fake charities are making it that may.

NIL deal should be an open market, but if you transfer out, you must sit out a year. Has to be some balance to those that are chasing money. This is not pro sports, and even in pro sports, you have a contract to uphold.
NIL deals with contracts/stipulations needs to be the minimum standard.
Yeah we will pay you 100k a year for NIL, but if you leave for another school, the money must be paid back in full by that individual and NOT buyout money from another school. Sign here.

I think the bigger issue is the new transfer rules. Makes every season pure free agency.
Let players get paid but tighten up transfer restrictions and make them sit a year if they do transfer.
It won’t solve everything but it will help a lot.

Who gets to decide how much money they are allowed to make and when do they start deciding how much money YOU are allowed to make?
ETA and guess what? Zero NIL money was legal a few years ago and these guys were still getting paid
putting the restriction doesn’t stop the player from getting paid, just allows you to lie to yourself that they aren’t getting paid to satisfy your haterade thirst

The cap used to be zero.
How often do you think that was observed at the highest levels of college football and basketball?

It's too late. Football is fricked. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
I've accepted that Texas 8-Forfeit and the Longwhorns will be able to buy national championships and it's all these dipshits fault who just let the NIL pour it on.

Laws and stuff...
If you really wanted to do something like that you'd have to make them employees and collectively bargain with a players union, just like the pros do.
It'll probably happen eventually and that'll cause the split between schools who want to play in that sandbox and the ones who want to go back to normal college football.

Small rules would help. Limit transfers and make it only during a certain period (summers). Players should have to report NIL contracts. Make sure there are no conflicts. NIL has to be legitimate companies looking for sponsorship. Not made up companies funneling money. Those 3 go a long way to reigning a lot of this in..

Sports have never been a free market.

Too late. Pandora's box is open. No putting it back.

need to have a hard transfer window. outside of that, maybe the 1 year sitout rule applies.
Posted on 5/6/22 at 11:35 am to Hawgnsincebirth55
It's simple. Close the transfer portal to those that take an NIL deal. Leave it wide open for those that don't have NIL deals.
If you're going to take a paycheck to represent a university (that's basically what this is at this point) then you're staying and honoring that. Make it contracts for all I care at this point. There's no going back to amateurism in college football and basketball.

That would be struck down as unconstitutional for the same reasons that we now have NIL in the first place.
