Should we start an over/under on how many college athletes will get tagged for tax evasion??

I think this is what ultimately happens. You will see a new division 1 with 60 or so teams and there will be a draft Loto based on standings

I am here for it. For some reason I want total chaos, just to see how schools handle it.

In all fairness he had the dunk of the tournament. That pays well, right?

He has an agent, too? How can he possibly be eligible to play, then?
Ah, I can still hear those all-knowing posters who said "it's only name and likeness". They didn't believe that name and likeness would not be limited to autographs and jerseys with their names on it. They were sure that this was going to solve everything.
It is literally the end of college sports, unless they put an end to this garbage. They go to college, but this is now professional minor leagues.

Oh they had a minder that made sure they were on time, but after that it was a free for all. I had a bullshite class at the Heep center that had jorvorskie lane and a few others, and the dudes straight up put headphones on and took a nap on the steps up through the classroom while the prof was lecturing. Blew my mind as I was a double major working part time.

A player...any person...should ABSOULTELY be able to be compensated for another's use of his/her name, image or likeness. The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled as much.
The issue is not necessarily NIL as it is NIL in connection with the "one free transfer" rule. What the Miami basketball player is doing is not anything different than what several players have done since NIL was made "legal" along with implementation of the transfer rules. He's just the first to publicly state he is leveraging his position for a greater NIL deal.
Players were getting paid by boosters LONG before NIL. They just didn't transfer as much because the rules made it very prohibitive to do so (sit out one year; couldn't transfer in conference or to schools on a coach's list). Now, all a player has to do is enter his name in the portal, even without the coach's knowledge, and any school can contact him to recruit him.
NIL was obviously a game changer. But that, coupled with the transfer rules, gives players almost all of the leverage.

And this is why schools stopped selling anything with their names on it. You missed the point. The NIL rules allowed for athletes to use their name, image and likeness in whatever they wanted, rather than simply allowing players to be compensated for whatever was already in existence. And that was the huge mistake. That has turned college athletics into a business, for the players.

The two are entirely different problems, both of which are bad, but this topic is not about the one free transfer rule, or the portal in general.

it is absolutely very different, in that he has an agent. You're not supposed to hire an agent until you are declaring for the draft. The fact that he is publicly stating that he's leveraging for a better NIL deal is just icing on the cake.

I know this. Did you think I'm new to this? Those days were "under the table". Again, completely different subject. Let's try to stay on point.

Again, I know all of this, and it has nothing to do with my point. I'm not sure why you felt the need to explain things to me that I already know, didn't ask about, and have nothing to do with my point.

Yes, it surely does. It's a business now, and not a good one.
