You’re right, let’s dissolve the federal government and see how Louisiana does on its own

Also, just generally, sure you can have a salary cap (there currently basically is with the new Rev Share situation). But you can't limit NIL - it would be like telling the Patriots that's they can't keep Brady because his advertising revenue sent the Patriots over the Salary Cap ...
Yeah but if we're being very few of these players have any real NIL value.
Currently NIL is being abused and its obviously a front for pay for play!

He hasNO business even being involved. I find it the height of hypocrisy for all the alleged small government Trump cheerleaders to advocate the federal government inserting itself into how college sports should be conducted . You do not want that camel's nose getting into the tent. You'll make a bad situation worse
Except the Fed Gov't are the ones that created this shite show through the courts. They have since castrated the NCAA every time they try to wrangle it in. Hell we now have local fans, I mean judges, over ruling the NCAA on eligibility issues.
The NCAA is begging the gov't to step in because its the only way it can be fixed.

This issue is for NCAA to fix and those coaches should have been meeting with NCAA President about a fix not Potus who is at very beginning of an poorly planned and timed war trying to deflect attention from Epstein files. CFB can manage without his input, NCAA President and those committee coaches could have met same way, more important issue for potus to be trying to fix

Assuming you’re talking about transfer rules. The problem is you won’t see any progress made on this or anything else as long as there is only one party trying to do anything about it.
The other side just wants to see it burn right now because when they finally do agree to step in to help, it will only be in exchange for their terms - think things like more money for HBCU’s, total equality for women’s sports / athletes, trans rights, etc (just off the top of my head). They hate the current climate as much as anyone right now but won’t give in that easy to make it better for the average fan. Enjoy it while you can.

Sure, but who's going to determine "fair market value"? And who are they to make that decision? Why should someone get to tell Mark Cuban what someone is, or isn't, worth to him? Sounds highly illegal...

I'm sure there are metrics that they can used to determine fair market value. It shouldn't be any different than professional athletes negotiating endorsement deals.
This is also why the NCAA is essentially begging the President and Congress to get involved. It's the only way they can fight the courts besides bringing back academic standards.

So any company can pay any player they deem fit any amount they want. So the current model, got it.

I wonder how many “Pro” athletes have NIL deals. Outside select QBs, or WRs, I don’t see many on TV. They may have local deals, but I doubt the Left Tackle has a 4 million dollar NIL deal.

The transfer portal is the bigger problem, not so much NIL. Should allow just 1 transfer without having to sit out a year and fix the transfer portal window for starters.

I see Adam Silver was there. He's just gonna make it worse. He owns the baby soft NBA era

Then let it go off a cliff. Why do we try to save them from themselves? When the whole thing collapses you can start over. I'd rather that than federal interference. If you get the government involved, they won't leave.
Or
Get the state legislatures involved, I'd rather that. Most of the schools involved are state schools.

This is the problem to fix. You aren’t going to take money way from these guys but you have to find a way for the players to identify with the school.
How about recruiting high school kids who are good students and people, mostly from in-state, and treating CFB like the extracurricular activity that it is instead of a win-at-all-costs multibillion dollar entertainment entity?
Take the games off TV and pay coaches about what professors make. That would give you some real college football. But as long as coaches are making eight figures and fans would rather have the illiterate 5 star from California than an in-state 3 star who’s a valedictorian, I hope the players take everyone to the cleaners to spite their greed and selfishness.

I’m out of the loop. Why the hell is NIL money not being taxed?

Quit being academically dishonest with yourself in thinking that you can't come up with a system to determine "fair market value!" We live in a system of "checks and balances" that does this every day. There are obviously metrics out there that can be used to determine the value in endorsement deals. Agents and marketing managers likely use them everyday in negotiating appearances or product endorsement deals.
A quick google search show Joe Burrows NIL value is between $4MM and $15MM across several well known brands.
quote:
Joe Burrow has a robust portfolio of high-profile endorsements, generating roughly $4 million to $15 million annually, with key partnerships including Nike, BodyArmor, Guinness, Bose, Kroger Health, and Alo Yoga. He frequently collaborates with brands like Fanatics, Buffalo Wild Wings, Nerf, and Cash
It doesn't take an a marketing genius to recognize that Bryce Underwoods reported $12MM "NIL" deal is pay for play and not true NIL.
In my opinion one of the ways to reign in NIL is for the IRS to start questioning the legitimacy of the deals as business expenses.
