All true. Also has nothing to do with what I said. The NCAA had rules. The Supreme Court said they couldn't have them. It is therefore not the NCAA's fault for not having rules in place.

NCAA knew their rules weren’t appropriate though and chose to do nothing.
There is a reason NCAA Football video game ended in 2014.
They needed to share proceeds with the players for use of their NIL.
Instead of working to create an environment of cooperation with the players and share revenue - they took their ball and went home.
Literally decided to take less revenue just so they wouldn’t have to share with the players.
This could have all been solved a decade ago.

“This alone did not force the game to shut down: EA indicated in court filings that it was willing to pay players moving forward to use their likenesses (and potentially names) in the game.
The holdup came on the NCAA side, whose resistance to allowing players to profit in any way while in school made it virtually impossible for EA to keep making the game without yet another lawsuit. Despite its popularity, EA stopped producing the game.”
Were the rules sufficient?
Or was the NCAA being a bunch of greedy bastards like they usually are, screwing over the players for their own benefit, hence the Supreme Court voiding them them.
Sure. They were/are the best available solution to make college athletics a viable mechanism for getting a free college education and the opportunity to play intercollegiate athetlics.
You ignore the point. That some programs ALREADY had an advantage has nothing to do with NIL money or paying players, in-general. They already had that advantage. NIL adds to that advantage and that is not good for the sport as a whole. There is a reason that scholarship limits and transfer rules were put in place.. to promote wider competition... the prevent teams with giant wallets from just keeping 5-deep benches of stars. And while many did continue to cheat the rules with payoffs and jobs and so on, that was technically against the rules and they could have been punished for it.
NIL and new transfer rules just make the rich richer.. and makes the payoffs to players legal.
The Big Ten shares revenues. Other conferences can do the same. From a conference revenue standpoint.. and competition, no team gets more revenue than another and thus has a revenue advantage.. well, none other than what they generate for themselves individually. But that's the issue, right? With NIL the rich get richer (in talent and thus, WINS) and thus they get more demand and more self-generated revenue.
We play most of our games against other Big Ten teams that get the same conference revenue. So I don't care that Temple gets less. Beating Temple because of a revenue advantage won't help us win the Big Ten or get its slot in the CFP... well, not very much. But NIL makes it less likely to win the Big Ten now. What happens when we lose a Kyle Monangai to Ohio State or Michigan or even Nebraska, if Huskeralways' info is correct..and we have no reason to think it is not. We already lost an OL to Ohio State in the past.
NIL may make a few players wealthy at a young age... but it will harm a lot more due to reduced competitive balance.
The current model is unsustainable
That’s all you need to know.
There is zero correlation to what the sport was and what is it becoming.
Your argument that now it’s legal shows your
Contempt without investigation. Did you read that on the interweb?
Very simplistic non researched view used to justify the bastardization of what was once the greatest modern day sport in what was once a great country.
No **** it’s unsustainable
I’ve said that no less than 500 times
It needs to, and eventually will, change
Nice rant though
I suggest meds, a nap, possibly some uppers, and a woman
Good thing you’re not an inspirational speaker
Good thing you don’t give advice for a living
If a NIL collective is not a part of the university, how can the university be sued?
I didn’t get that either but they must be trying to connect them. Maybe saying coaches or whomever are directing funds form the NIL…dont know
Then the male athletes at LSU and Miami should sue because Olivia Dunne and the Cavinder twins made disproportionately more money than any male athletes at those institutions.
That crossed my mind too. But are those “real” NIL deals as opposed to booster funded ones? I don’t know.
Give this lawsuit 2 years and it has the potential to impact revenue sports where each school is going to ahve to track NIL payments and match accordingly...
So this guy who claims to have created NIL software to inform coaches about real time prices teaches at RU? That’s rich.

NCAA has become atavistic and vestigial.
There will be a need for something new to polish the edges off the chaos
There are players wanting CFB over NFL.
Fans probably want to keep some of them too.
At some point the top of deck of CFB becomes a pro league and NFL has a headache.
