Pavia and other players suing the NCAA

Courts have really messed college athletics up. I am not against a kid getting paid for his NIL. But there needs to be some kind of rules. Kids are getting 4-5 mil out of HS and hitting the portal as soon as possible for another payday. Now when their eligibility runs out they are suing for more years. Baylor just recruited a professional BB player who gets 4 years of eligibility, which means little.
UGA had just renewed a kid's NIL, paid him and he transfers. UGA filed suit to get money back, he filed counter suit to keep, even though he didn't fulfill his obligation.
I understand coaches move every year, but coaches moving is a free move, the first school is owed some cash. Kis want the freedom to move, which is find. But those move should be free either. Values need to be set for each position, which is set by the tampering school"s offer. And a percentage of that should also be paid to the school he is leaving.

If Wilson would’ve done nothing at Missouri this discussion would’ve never been a thing though. Uga only got upset because of how good he ended up being. If any coach knows how to do the shady dealings it’s Kirby smart. Teams like that are just now realizing they can’t stockpile all the talent anymore and upset about it.
I don’t totally disagree with JUCO to NCAA eligibility extension.
Kind of makes sense. JUCO isn’t NCAA. A JUCO kid was essentially told by all of CFB that he wasn’t good enough or ready to play. So his eligibility clock shouldn’t start.
Most of the disorganization with everything portal and NIL related is cleaned up with clear rules that schools, conferences, players and coaches come to the table and agree to.
There needs to be a CBA and contracts in accordance with it.
Until then it’s going to be what it currently is. All we really know is that kids can make money and transfer. So, kids are making money and transferring.
I don’t know what the specific language of UGA’s agreement with the kid was but apparently it wasn’t concrete enough. That’s on UGA.
