Georgia Governor Executive Order Concerning NIL…

[snoopdog]

Not sure how this would play out

Georgia governor signs executive order allowing colleges to pay players for their NIL

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order that allows schools like the University of Georgia to pay players directly for the use of their NIL.

Something I was wondering about over the weekend watching the university commercials during various games, do the regular students in those get compensated now? Seems like they should.

Tator will probably drag around and we all know we will

I read where Virginia Governor had also doing something similar in spring but have not really kept up in great detail.

Use the PERS money for NIL!

Yes. Virginia passed an actual law doing this. MS passed a law but it didn’t go this far. It mimicked Mizzou which pays a marketing agency to hire athletes. I’d assume with the Brandon Lee hire we are going that route.

It’ll play out pretty simply. Georgia will start paying players directly & through NIL & no one will stop them.

And who profits from the “marketing agency”?

I’m not saying that setup sounds ripe for corruption, but… well.. yes that’s exactly what I’m saying.

I’d hope it’s a zero profit with everything going to players.

I’m proposing fans be paid for in person attendance. Since it is all made for tv now, the players and coaches are the stars but we crowd members deserve to be considered extras since we contribute to the production. Either pay us minimum wage or at least give us free admission with a Coke and a hot dog to compensate us for our time and effort.

I would still have a hard time getting my butt off the sofa and drive to see this product.

There won't be any dispute at that point that players are university employees. That would make it really easy for them to join a real union like United Campus Workers (part of the AFL-CIO) and then this thing could get really strange, like player's going on strike or setting actually enforceable standards for practice or game conditions. Just wild.

Would definitely be interesting to see what happens during bowl/playoff season. Extra pay for working holidays and such

What I read this legislation to say.... "If Any Georgia University wants to pay NIL directly to athletes, nobody can stop them." Which is a shot to the ncaa that we dare you to try and enforce your rules, here.

It will be State that tells Tator.... we still aren't doing that. Because it's against ncaa rules.

It's already broke in the sense that there is no way it can meet its obligations.

Bulldog45 and CrazyCotton, I really like your ideas. The support groups like the cheer leaders, band members, and fans should not be excluded from compensation. Absolutely. When you stop and think about it, you just can’t exclude the support groups from these money making endeavors.
