NIL: Barstool & Louisville

BTW, schools should have zero fvking say if a player wants to be sponsored by Barstool. I think they can prevent them from wearing university symbols or doing adds on campus but no freaking way they can block that. goes against the whole purpose of NIL

Anything to do with gambling?

100%. They have an online gambling company. NIL either prohibits that category, or the schools do. The debate will be whether its a standalone company, a subsidiary, etc. L'Ville made a call not to risk it.

Here are OU's forbidden list as an example, which are mostly sensible (King was allowed to do the Panthers deal tho). A university has a right to disassociate from these categories:

  • Assault weapons and/or other related firearms
  • Banned substances pursuant to NCAA Bylaw and/or Policy
  • Bars and/or nightclubs
  • Cannabis-related enterprises (e.g. dispensaries, grow suppliers, seed companies, etc.)
  • Casinos, sports wagering, or other gambling services
  • Companies and/or services owned or operated by institutional staff members or their family members
  • Drug and/or alcohol paraphernalia
  • Performance-enhancing drugs pursuant to NCAA Bylaw and/or Policy
  • Pornography
  • Professional sports teams and/or organizations
  • Recreational drugs
  • Tobacco and/or tobacco alternatives pursuant to NCAA Bylaw and/or Policy

I know we love a good "woke"/"cancel culture"/"sjw" debate around here in relation to academia and society at large but this might have less to do with Lou-vul wine and cheese lib administrators and more to do with the state laws.

I heard somewhere that the states (like Florida) that rushed out to make laws about the NIL and were viewed as pro-players getting paid at the time are actually kind of handcuffing the efforts to a certain extent now. That since the NCAA stopped resisting that the states that did nothing are basically allowing those schools/players to act in a more unfettered wild west manner the the states that have at least some rules on the books.
