I would say companies with exclusive contracts with universities shouldn't be allowed in the NIL game.... NIKE could literally control which schools are the top dogs... endless money for whatever schools they choose to pour into recruiting

Beta Blake was our AD when we lost the Nike contract.

They’re taking what Lambert did and putting it on a 10X scale it seems like to me.

Knight and Nike getting involved with college athletes and NIL isn’t good news for many schools. How long until teams with Nike contracts get ****ed off though? Could be something to watch out for
 
Hi guys, it’s me again.

One day, one of these days ya’ll will listen to ur boy. Again, this NIL situation is not a good thing for us. Why did I say that? B/c:

1. The NCAA was not proactive, setting no parameters.

2. Programs w/ big boosters could now openly pay recruits, using the NIL as a gaping loop hole.

3. The NIL is about name, image, and likeness, meaning marketing. In order to truly benefit, u have to be marketable regardless of what “media market” u’re in.

I was trying to give you a warning before all of this came to fruition, but some prominent posters were arguing to the contrary. I wasn’t being a Debby Downer, was literally having conversations w/ some of my clients who r in the sports world & looking at it from a professional sports lens, guys who get the biggest push are those who are marketable, and teams that are most marketable by what they do on the field/court.

If we were the Canes of the 80’s - early 2000’s as the current NIL is currently “constructed”, we would have zero issues. We would be the #1 NIL destination, but not now.

When has the NCAA ever done anything besides protect "the haves" of college athletics? Thinking the NIL movement has anything to do with balancing the game is a foolish thought. That said, schools like UM "could" have an advantage if the Board of Trustees and others in leadership truly made it a priority.
We'll see how it plays out.

Well, unfortunately that’s the 2nd part that I didn’t want to touch upon: our leadership compared to other schools in regards to athletics.

Phil Knight's no longer the CEO of Nike, and I believe that there's already a rule about apparel sponsors of respective Colleges & Universities being prohibited from the NIL game.

That's the idea. NIL stuff opened up the flood gates for pseudo-ethical stuff like this, and will only benefit the top.
