Anyone, but preferably someone with good knowledge about college finances and all that good stuff. Seems on the surface it will help, being in Miami a big city, tons of endorsement opportunities. Let’s talk!
Facts I do agreeI'm just scared it opens the door for the SEC to double down on $$$$.... they maintain their bags with the kids, but now opens even more "legal" avenues to get their kids triple paid....
I think you're right. Billy Bob car dealer going to throw tons of legit $$$ at dudes.I'm just scared it opens the door for the SEC to double down on $$$$.... they maintain their bags with the kids, but now opens even more "legal" avenues to get their kids triple paid....
Appreciate thatI dont think its about college finances. At least, not in the long run. In fact, I think it changes the actual market structure. My macro view on this is there is a depressed (in fact I would argue actively suppressed) market for football talent. This is a factor of express or tacit collusion between NFL, NCAA, and state & federal regulators.
And yes, I would not be surprised in the least if programs can no longer compete and there is a massive restructuring in the college football landscape (college athletics overall).
So be it. Removing artificial and unjust barriers to individuals opportunity to be compensated fully for their skills and talents is more important. And I would add uniquely talented both in terms of physical abilities but also the time frame within which they can maximize their earnings.
NIL is one step towards establishing a more accurate market for football talent. We may see it evolve into a club system for the NFL - which is essentially what it is now - its just the most talented aren't able to fully capitalize on their value (due to lack of market). Scholarships are essentially a de facto salary cap.
To comment on your question directly about whether it benefits Miami or not. As others have stated, probably too early to tell. Many variables. And depends on your time horizon for success for failure. One fundamental force I think is favorable is its relative market size in terms of media, consumers, economic health, etc. It is also one of the most attractive locales to live.
This will also, I suspect, ultimately differentiate between the top 5 star talent but also less heralded recruits. What markets would I bet on that is best able to offer both top talent but also the 3 and 4 star recruits, support for their NIL? Again, I keep coming back to those markets that have size and diversity in their economies.
What Im most interested in is seeing the impact and changes in college coaching and specifically college football back offices.
Heck yeah, $EC gone run it up, I’m hoping we can too. Maybe the uncle Luke days legally idkI think you're right. Billy Bob car dealer going to throw tons of legit $$$ at dudes.
Here is the thing about Billy Bob. Now it will have to be above board and reported as duly executed contract for service and will be taxed. It will be disclosed in some fashion. Its price discovery. A necessary condition for a vibrant market.I think you're right. Billy Bob car dealer going to throw tons of legit $$$ at dudes.
You put that in a great perspective of understandingHere is the thing about Billy Bob. Now it will have to be above board and reported as duly executed contract for service and will be taxed. It will be disclosed in some fashion. Its price discovery. A necessary condition for a vibrant market.
So I fully support Billy Bob doing what he wants with his money. And the athlete who benefits from it.
But here is the thing: how many Billy Bobs are there and how much can they afford to pay out? I come back to the impact of market size and opportunities.
Another thing to consider. The bag game is strong in some places. We know that. But I would argue that even that game, the prices are depressed because its illegal. What happens when the market opens up and now Billy Bob has to compete with a luxury auto dealership in Miami?
I dont have the answers. I dont see the world in absolutes. I view it terms of options and risks. Its a Bayesian world. I just think there are some strong market forces in favor of larger markets.
Will be fun to watch the fireworks regardless.
Can you elaborate why it would hurt in the long run.Initially it will help but in the long run it will become perverse hurt us.
Also curious about what brands align themselves with a program? How does Twitch go after this? UberEats, GoPuff, DoorDash, etc? Red Bull?Here is the thing about Billy Bob.
