Every day, a new reason to hate what college sports has become.
WOW, it’s getting difficult FTKids THON to raise 10 mil a yr.
So begins tOhia money ATM….
Schottenstein wrote on Twitter Sunday. “… We are going to create the biggest NIL charitable fund in the country, and this will also be fan based, so anybody can contribute to the student athletes, who will help out local charities.”
Why? What Schottenstein seems to be doing isn't that complicated and may create some benefit beyond football.
I didn’t click the link. My knee-jerk response was established by “Cardale Jones,” “NIL,” and “Ohio State.” If it turns out to be anything more than lipstick on a pig, then maybe there’s hope for the world.
The job posting did say "previous experience required".
He was foreshadowing when he uttered the "we ain't come here..." line. He was ahead of his time.
He was a young frosh when he said that and he went back and got his degree. What he said rings true at many schools, but I tip my cap to him for maturing and going back to earn his degree. The kids have known it was a business for a long time, it was the suits that run the schools and NCAA that kept up the fairy tale myth of it being an amateur sport.
So Sandy Barbour? I thought NIL rules prohibit it from being associated with the school.
She‘s promoting the academic experience at PSU. I remember reading this a few months ago. Five-stars will come to PSU in droves for the academics. That matters today.
I think schools can assist athletes but not pay them directly; the guidance from the NCAA is very broad and defers to state law for the most part (and every state has a different NIL law, and some have none).
Deferring to the states is really going to result in inequities.
Right? In the ACC - which covers Massachusetts to Florida, four states have no NIL laws, and the ones that do are not uniform, so players can get better deals depending on the state they’re in. Flustercluck.
For this one you get A-plusses in each of creativity, execution, and snark.
Nah, who was the kid that had all of the cash stolen from his apartment? He’ll be the treasurer. Clarett will oversee agreements with car dealerships.
If you look at their guidance last summer, all states with no law uses only ncaa rules. If state has a law that is the rule followed. However, no matter what the state law, funds can never be used to induce attendance or even pay to play or performance. the payments have to be for the use of the NIL by the funding organization, and that does not include attending a particular school. These rules are not vague on the NCAA site. Most schools have been holding to these rules. A few are seeing how far they can push.
