Louisiana has amended its NIL law

Advertisement
Excerpt:

Senate Bill 250, sponsored by Sen. Patrick Connick, R-Marrero, was signed into law as Act 307 to allow colleges, universities, and boosters to compensate intercollegiate athletes for use of their name, image, or likeness.

The law allows colleges and universities to directly pay prospective college athletes, as well as boosters or "representatives of an institution’s athletic interests" to help arrange compensation for students. The changes put the state’s NIL law "in line with other states that are doing this," Connick has said.

Not that it's any secret but it is still eye opening to see these states sign actual bills to keep their college program competitive. LSU can do anything it wants based on that excerpt.

Lol; yet, some how, some way ya’ll thought NIL was good for the game. Lol.

Told ya’ll, a lot of these politicians ARE boosters. lol. Man, this chit is so funny to me. There’s no uniformity, each state is doing its own thing, no parameters, no nothing. What could possibly go wrong? NCAA has every right to get involved in setting parameters & these peons r just sitting by idly.

Welp, paying attention to recruiting is going to be moot. It’s all about highest bidder, & the $$$$EC have been giving the combination to Ft Knox.
 
I don't get how this doesn't violate NCAA rules regarding what a school can pay an athlete. My understanding was the whole reason NIL worked is that it wasn't the school paying, and the one thing to be careful of was that the staff wasn't using NIL to recruit.

Phil Knight & former Nike Execs created this for UO student athletes in September of 2021; Adidas plans to extend it further. I know Nike has already secured NIL deals w/ two sister in High School committed to play soccer at Stanford, and a UCLA soccer player last year. I have no problem w/ these type of NIL deals. I only have a problem w/ boosters paying for play.
 
So let me get this straight Louisiana schools can now openly market their student athletes along with boosters to basically pay them whatever they want. They can legit get together pay a QB 5mil a year, Gonna be free agency from this point on

So where is Florida with this? How could there even be any opposition at this point. We have 3 majors and 2-3 mid major programs that can all very much use this on the national stage.

Seriously do we have anyone with some state policy knowhow that can provide some insight here. What’s the hold up. Needs to get done before recruiting season really picks up.
 
So, now boosters have the ability to get together and 'openly' bid on recruits and the recruit goes to the highest bidder. Explain to me how this is any different than what's been going on the last ~15 years.

The only difference is it's now in the open as opposed to "bags"

Same chit different uniform
