This is what the NCAA is doing here. I don’t think anyone in this first wave gets in trouble. The NCAA is just looking into these deals to see what they find problematic and what they find acceptable. They will likely then issue better guidance for the schools to follow. UM is in little to no jeopardy here, in my opinion.First, I’m not sure it is a formal investigation. It might lead to that, but right now the NCAA is looking into America Top Teams “teamwide” deal w UM to determine if violations of the rules governing NIL relationships were violated. Personally, I think this is an uphill batter. The deal was vetted by Lambert’s outside counsel and vetted and approved by UM compliance. I have an NIL deal w a UM player, and the contract had to be approved by UM compliance. Part of the problem is that the NCAA offers nearly zero guidance on what is permissible. Many states, like Florida, specifically allow the deals. I think as long as Lambert/ATTeam stuck to the terms of the contract with the players, and the players did as well, the NCAA has a real problem. First, you have reliance on counsel - if everyone did what the lawyers said was ok to do, it significantly mitigates anyone “intentionally” violating any rules. Second, since the NCAA chose not to draft clear guidelines as to what was permissible or prohibited, there might be something akin to a due process defense. People have a right to know what the rules are before they can be accused of breaking them. Not my area of practice, but this is going to be a tough rode for the NCAA imo.

Is that a young Steve Borden?!
According to Burns himself from the link at the top of his Twitter page, he was fired from a previous media job for being a ****y *******.I think this individual had a role in They Live as one of the villainsZ
But, but, but .... ESPN loves us and Kirk Herbstreit loves us and the ratings are great when Miami is winning and ...And furthermore, Saban leases cars to his players. And pre-NIL, as recently as 2019 his recruits were posting pictures holding large amounts of American currency in their hands on Instagram on national signing day. Does ESPN report on this? No. Do they care? No. They are willful hypocrites of the highest magnitude, and players in the competitive imbalance that CFB has devolved into.
