The crew basically spit the NCAA company line on the House Settlement. Nick Saban, the biggest cheater in history and close friend of former NCAA President Mark Emmert, said there should be a cap on revenue sharing and an NCAA clearinghouse to make sure NIL deals are fair market value.

Here’s the truth about the settlement: the players are going to make less money than they do now, and an incompetent, corrupt NCAA bureaucracy is going to grow larger and more powerful.

Does anybody think the NCAA knows anything about “fair market value?” They are as efficient and impressive as the local DMV. They’re historically corrupt and criminal. Why are we giving them more regulatory power and responsibility?

There can be no limit on NIL. It’s illegal and will get destroyed in Court. The only way this gets through is if the propaganda campaign and lobbyist money influences Capitol Hill. Anybody with a voice needs to expose this scam.

The cap on revenue sharing is different than the NIL clearinghouse. The former may make sense in a model similar to the NFL, but it isn’t being collectively bargained.

The latter is complete BS. Collectives are different than athletic department revenue. The NCAA wants midwit, bottom-of-their class lawyers in Indianapolis to control arm’s length transactions between third-parties and adult athletes.

I agree there shouldn’t be a cap but there needs to be nil changes. The system is too broken when a player can transfer twice a year every year to whoever pays more.

What? Why?

NIL should not be regulated.

They don’t tell you what a widget should/shouldn’t cost. That’s for the market to decide.

Same should apply to student athletes

The scenario you describe above doesn't even exist in US professional sports today. I don't beleive it does in Euro futból either.

"Unlimited" anything for players is not going to happen.

I said this years ago...

NCAA is going to eventually adopt, for the "superconference" anyways, a mirror image of NFL's salary cap.

That will include:

- Some sort of "base pay" per athlete
- Some sort of HS draft of top 100-200 players
- Some sort of UDFA bonus schedule for HS players not drafted
- Perhaps an "infrastructure spending cap" on facilities etc....gets sticky with public vs private universities
- Just wait until "national level NIL deals" start muddying the waters
-- Nike, Gatorade, Addidas, etc...start doing endorsements w/ athtletes right out of HS to secure them as potential future pros?
-- How does that affect what school they choose to play for?
-- OR do they get "stuck" at a school because of it?


IT IS ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE BEAST.

If you’re looking at this as a sport. There is no sport in the world where you can change teams 8 times in 4 years.

I personally believe they should go back to a player having to sit out a year if they transfer. This would calm down the poaching of players. There should be emphasis placed on recruiting and choosing a school. There are zero consequences for players now.

I’m all for them making all the money they can. But I hate how a school like Pitt can recruit a player like Addison and develop him and then he just goes to USC because they tamper behind the scenes.

I don’t know what the solution is, maybe 2 year “contacts” or something else.

Devil’s advocate here but why shouldn’t we treat it like a salary cap?

This happens all the time with the world's most popular sport.

I agree. ESPN is out of control and these fans are uncalled for:

The settlement is clearly an antitrust violation and will get struck down the moment some kid sues because his NIL deal didn’t get NCAA “approval”.

I don’t think Congress has the appetite to get involved yet either
