Disgusting discussion on Gameday today

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.
This cannot pass legal muster unless there is Congressional legislation that instituted a maximum wage law for all college students as a category, or the players unionize and collectively bargain.

Or Congress could pass a law forbidding that any college student is able to work for wages for the duration of their college tenure.

So to make sure, you’re against it?
 


Latest on this:

Georgia is the most recent state to pass a law disallowing the NCAA from penalizing a player or school should the school choose to pay players directly.

Other states have passes similar laws and the pace of doing so is increasing.

These actions by the states render the NCAA's proposed settlement in the House case moot, even if they were able to convince the judge to buy off on it (seems unlikely given her rejection of the preliminary settlement at the hearing a couple weeks ago).

These actions by the states should further reinforce her doubts about the NCAA's preliminary settlement terms. I would expect her to ask the NCAA attys at the hearing next month how can they ask her to approve a settlement that is immediately disallowed by various state laws?

NCAA has completely lost their seat at the table on matters involving player payments/eligibility and freedom of action by universities and boosters.

"Regardless of the outcome of that settlement, the order signed into law by Governor Kemp on Tuesday is effective immediately, according to ESPN."
 
They were on their bull**** again this morning. Mistake by me to turn on the tv before Big Noon started.
 
@DMoney or others…what would be your solution. Genuinely asking. Because something needs to be done to control this system. Situations like they mentioned today, Sluka, Bear Alexander…kids using red shirts and NIL as a weapons. I know people didn’t like the schools having all the power, but now coaches have to walk on egg shells just to keep their roster in tact.

NCAA bankrupt, P4 league run like a business with collectively bargained rules, fair revenue sharing, and restrictions on movement.

Are restrictions on movement ever going to happen while you’re still using this guise that they’re students? I don’t know how you restrict movement if that’s still there but I’m not a lawyer.

Also people just need to get over it imo. Big cities run professional sports for the exact reason big NIL teams are running player acquisition, monetary opportunity outside of your base pay (or scholarship, in this instance). Only in college athletics are people in this country so vehemently anti-open market.

Please ask Coach Saban or the lovely Miss Terry to explain “fair market value.” Saban’s tie to Emmert is over sold, but Nick played every loophole and scheme imaginable in procuring player talent. ESPN is now selling him as the lord, final word and Rockne of college football.

So you think “just get over it” and let the players come and go as they please is the answer. Professional players have contracts and CBAs. They can’t just come and go as they please.

That’s certainly one way to interpret what I said.
 
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.
NIL is marketing. It should have nothing to do with rev share which would be a salary from the university to the student.

Mahomes has a salary that’s influenced by the salary cap , but there’s no limit to him selling his name, image or likeness to do commercials. That’s the spirit of NIL, it’s marketing.

and then divorcing the game from academics, which is next (unfortunately). these will be club teams like European teams

How do you collectively bargain with minors?

I guess adopt the "hollywood child actor" model?

Does value of education factor into compensation?
