from my perspective i think we might be better off in a system where cheating is illegal and getting caught creates some disincentive to cheat as opposed to a system where cheating is not cheating anymore and all the schools (alumni and boosters) that were cheating can now do more in the open than we are capable of doing.For sure but ignorance is bliss for a lot of people. Allows them to grasp to a sense of nostalgia (often false nostalgia) or some concept of how they wish things were vs how they actually are.
I'll just never understand the people that acknowledge that widespread "cheating" is obviously happening and that it's punished in a beyond biased manner (in the rare instances that it actually is) but then are still for the status quo. And these people are often fans of programs like ours that certainly aren't advantaged in the old system.
Would be nice if the athletic department made financial classes mandatory so kids could actually learn to protect their money instead of ****ing it away.
Competing site interview so delete if necessary MAWDS
Boosters are already giving kids $100k+ and there is little to no parity anymore (see the teams in the playoffs every year). This eliminates the fear of getting hit with heavy sanctions while some schools are protected regardless of the evidence against them.
NIL at least gives SOME schools a chance to be competitive with Bama, Clemson, etc. in today's recruiting landscape. A school like Duke or UVA, for example, doesn't stand a chance to become a big boy regardless of NIL or not. But, we do now. Just need to combine a good NIL program with better results on the field.
This is exactly what will happen. It won't be the death of college football, but it's gonna turn into just funneling money to players through a shell company.
Lets clarify it... You think Miami will... because you think that local businesses and fan support will outweigh booster support.
The thing is no one knows... no one really knows how much illegal booster support is out there for each school. Or even bigger is when its legal, how much support will be out there.
One trend we do know is that elite schools receive way more donations each year than non elite schools. Donations are an indication of how numerous and willing to give alumni are. Duke pulls in way, way more donations than Miami. So does USC, UCLA, Stanford, Notre Dame and OSU. There are about 20 schools out there that pull in over 25% of all the school donations in the country. Miami does get some big donations from time to time but they are in not a top 20 school along those lines. Stanford brings in over a billion dollars every year. Bloomberg himself gave over a 1.5 billion dollars to Johns Hopkins. You get one billionaire whose crazy about football at his school and he can basically put a top notch team on payroll. If he can count it a business expense then its going to be the wild west.
From what I see this thing could go anyway and many schools feel like it gives them some advantage, but until the dust settles no one really knows.
Apologies if mentioned earlier or elsewhere but here are the supposed restrictions:
We might disagree as to if the new structure improves the landscape for Miami specifically but I don't disagree with your initial premise aside from the fact that the NCAA and colleges in general have failed on this front for 40+ years now and there was no reason to think it was just going to get worse.from my perspective i think we might be better off in a system where cheating is illegal and getting caught creates some disincentive to cheat as opposed to a system where cheating is not cheating anymore and all the schools (alumni and boosters) that were cheating can now do more in the open than we are capable of doing.
The question is how " how many Companies will be SHELLING out $$$$$$$'s in order to be competitive?". With enough scratch they will fill it all out for you...so the players need not worry...SEC schools have been skipping the shell company and moving money directly from boosters to players for decades. This might actually make it a tiny bit harder for SEC schools because people have to be proficient at reading & writing to fill out the forms required to create a shell company.

So in your OP does he get involved here with the NIL?
