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.
Sure, but absolutely none of those place a hard limit on what a company can choose to pay to an individual for their services.
To have an enforceable salary cap of any kind you need collective bargaining. And even that is highly unlikely to place any sort of limit on what a player can make off their own NIL.

don't act like the NCAA clearinghouse can't compare that to what he paid Post Malone to determine that it was pay for play and not NIL if its not in line with metrics.
And what's stopping Todd from saying "me paying Arch is worth more to my company than paying Post"? Is this Clearinghouse going to start telling private companies who is and isn't worth a specific amount of money?

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.
You can’t fight the courts if what you’re doing is against the law. Obviously, well taken care of college athletes can’t be compared to slaves but it’s the same concept, they were denied liberty in a bunch of ways

Exactly.
And players are trying to make money and maximize their opportunities. Neither the fans nor the players are loyal.

No they aren't going to tell Todd what he can pay or can't pay. They are going to tell TX and the NCAA he is ineligible because the NIL deal isn't in line with established metrics for endorsement deals and is obvious pay for play. Good luck trying to win that argument.

They were saying that a player being paid by a company to endorse a product is ok.
A player simply being paid by a collective or booster to show up and play is pay for play and should be illegal.

Most universities get federal money and therefore get federal intervention. Also schools play teams across state lines which again allows the feds to get involved. So if you want the feds not be involved tell Ohio State or Michigan or Texas to stop taking federal money for research, grants, etc.

They are trying to get congress to pass the laws that would make it legal. See the SAFE ACT.
They weren't denied any liberties that's a bullshite argument and to compere it to slavery is atrocious. People were forced into slavery. Athletes choose to play college football. If they weren't treated fairly they could have walked away anytime they wanted. The last time I checked slaves weren't allowed to tell their masters I've had enough I'm leaving. Slaves were treated as subhumans and often in-dignified. Student athletes have been treated as demigods on their campuses for over 100 years. In my opinion to make that comparison is appalling and should have been treated with same outrage as when Kellin Winslow went on his "I'm a soldier" tirade.
The true irony in this BS argument is the same government that told the NCAA this is illegal has also made it illegal for their student athletes to profit off their NIL as a student athlete!

They’d have to have opinions on how good players are to police this… like obviously Duke Zion won’t get the same deals as mid-major benchwarmers

Of course they would, but they also need to compare it to true endorsement deals by professional athletes. Does anyone truly believe that an athlete that hasn't taken a single snap in college football has a true NIL value as high as Joe Burrow that isn't tied to pay for play.
