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

Which should mean the playing field somewhat leveled as the SEC bags now have competition that the ncaa shouldn’t be able to squash.
 
So now when the NC2A tries to create parameters a for NIL, if those parameters are more limiting than state laws, like this one, the state will sue the NC2A.
Well, if this things wasn’t already off the rails it is now.

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.

It does, but the NCAA is going to lose if they try to go up against state laws (and they likely would have lost prior to this anyway).

I’m no lawyer but I don’t think that matters. NCAA can make whatever bylaws it wants and if the school wants to be a part of the NCAA it has to follow them. They can’t stop them from doing what they are allowed to do under state law, but they can bar them from participating in NCAA governed sports.
 
Guidelines have to be put in place or so many kids and parents will be taken advantage of.

See, that's my understanding as well. I guess LA figured they'd just challenge the NCAA and see what happens.

If I were the head of the NCAA, I'd be reaching out to schools to gauge how willing they are to go the distance on this. I'd be looking to put my foot down unless I was convinced there was enough opposition to create another league. The NCAA needs to regain control or they become irrelevant, which is maybe ok as long as the money keeps flowing.

It's eye opening to see stuff like this get through so quickly when, as a state, they have far more pressing issues.

They can, but are they going to really kick LSU (and other LA schools) out?

This is the game of chicken they were playing with California where they were going to make NIL legal before the Supreme Court ruling. As soon as it became evident that California was going to pass the law, Florida and others started to draft theirs as well. I imagine we will see the same with this.

They would need the rest of the SEC and other states to agree to basically make LSU ineligible if they do this, but that is a big IF. Additionally, w/o LSU making the kids employees (and all that comes with that), I am not sure the Supreme Court would allow the NCAA to restrict the schools from paying them.

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.

I don't think the NCAA needs any other schools in order to act, they can just say LSU did X Y and Z and is therefore in trouble.

They won't kick them out, they'll take scholarships or restrict recruiting like they usually do.
 
Previously, the SEC Bag Game was what dominated football, and maybe the occasional Texas, Oklahoma, OSU, Clemson boosters would pony up.

With this Louisiana law - it's the same bag game, but now other states can go all in as well and approve a bag game free-for-all - nice and legal.

The Bag-Game was allowed to operate under the previous NCAA - and now the NCAA doesn't control Jack Schitt. ( I think that was his name . . .)

College ball will be NFL Prep.

What scares Bama - Georgia - is that if the money on the table is pretty much equal - who in Hades would choose Tuscaloosa, or Auburn, or other stinkholes whose only draw - was the money?

Who would rather go to Southern Cal, or Miami - all other things being equal?
