NIL Executive Order

Advertisement
This is supposed to reduce NIL to players or what’s it about? I’m too lazy to read
 
Since it is here, I'm a Trump fan as they get, but I would think he should stay out of this. Let Congress **** this up, because they will.

I'm all for kids getting paid as much if not more than pro athletes. The country was built of getting paid, let them get paid. I don't give to ***** who pays them and for what. Miami, or not. I have always taken this position, regardless if it helped or hurt the U.

Get out of the way of them getting paid. Period. If someone wants to give someone money to do something, so be it. Not selling drugs, not stealing property, let them feed.

I didn't read what the XO did, but I'm also not a fan of XOs, whether it is Trump or any other POTUS. I've also been pretty consistent that on part also, most are illegal and get wiped out in courts and the most reason they are somewhat effective is because the courts are slower than dirt addressing anything.

The EO said a bunch of stuff about why college sports are important, made a big deal about women’s and nonrev sports not getting lost, importance of Olympics, and then provided:

- Breakdown (based on AD 24-25 revenue) for preserving women’s/nonrev roster spots and scholarships
- Revenue-sharing between universities and student-athletes should be done in a manner that preserves or expands women’s/nonrev sports
- Third party, pay-for-play is “improper and should not be permitted by universities” but noted that “this policy does not apply to compensation provided to an athlete for the fair market value that the athlete provides to a third party, such as for a brand endorsement”
- Within 30 days of the order, certain Executive Branch agencies are going to make a plan to create policies for scholarships
- Student-athlete status will be clarified by the Secretary of Labor and NLRB
- AG and FTC will work to stabilize college athletics (basically a litigation reduction strategy)
- Will continue to focus on protecting and developing U.S. Olympic Team

In sum, nothing really happened in the EO as there isn’t a lot of meat to it, but Trump wants parts of the Executive Branch to work on some things that do actually make sense, IMO (litigation reduction strategies, Olympic sports). We’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the summary!

I was thinking it might be against athletes making money with NIL because of an earlier post talking about taking money away from athletes of color… but then I remembered that Trump’s granddaughter (Kai) was scooping up NIL deals since she signed with the U. So it didn’t make sense he would do something to affect his granddaughter negatively

The way it sounds from your summary is almost similar sounding to the intentions of the “equal pay” people that the women’s soccer team used to say and also Title IX

Appreciate the info bro

I suppose Saban was involved in the outcome of the Executive Order?

Athletes explicity won't be classified as employees. No collective bargaining protections or labor protections. The Big 10 colluding together to validate its bull**** pre house settlement contract regarding Xavier Lucas, the beyond asinine contractual clauses FSU wants to enforce. Crimson red flags of multiple proportions and an emphatic "**** no"

Funny how most of these decisions lately have been anti-athlete as ****, and all for those that benefit the most from these very same athletes.
I imagine there's probably a way to regulate the wild west portal without having to go backwards in time and restricting athlete rights under the illusion of "amateurism", but that requires actually giving a **** about all parties involved.

Yup, they said they wanted to go back when America was great, the 1950’s,.. wait.. does that mean Negroes can’t play? Just askin’ for white people
 
Wait, why are people saying that athletes explicitly will not be classified as employees? That wasn’t in the EO. Besides, there is a whole lot of case law that defines employees v. non-employees, and it’s not that simple. One type of student-athlete could be defined as an employee and another may not be, depending on the circumstances. We aren’t there yet.
 
Politicians need to stay the F out of this.
They are clueless about so many things, but certainly about this.
The free market absolutely would have taken care of how much money college athletes are being paid.

All these so-called capitalists in this country who have no patience to let the free market do its job. They need to stop calling themselves capitalists.

This is beautiful. I am as anti-trump as one can be, but I had the same issue with the Democratic presidents who kept trying to govern (and legislate TBH) via XO’s. This started with Obama and it was justified by my Democratic Party friends as “he has a republicans congress and this is the only way he can get anything done”. To which I replied, “do you really think this will end with Obama?”

And of course XO’s have proliferated since Obama. And honestly, the only way to stop this is if/when congress starts to do its job and legislate and stop passing the buck to the executive branch. So whereas I am critical of the Presidents, I am equally or more critical of congress for abdicating its duties.
