Proposed House settlement and NIL

- Name Image and Likeness (NIL) will likely have some guardrails to avoid pay-for-play

It is pay for play. It should be embraced. It is working out fine in relation to the bad old bag days.

Unless you were a bag school in the old NCAA-protection racket...

It will because you cannot limit a players, NIL value, anything that tries to limit it, is against the law! All this settlement and commission BS is exactly that, BS because none of it will hold up in court. The only way they are ever going to get something that will stick, is if it’s collective bargained. Maybe one day they’ll get there. Until then, anything that limits NIL is against the law and they will lose that in court every time.

The NIL clearinghouse being set up will never have the power to tell a player that they CANT accept any money. You are right, that is illegal but that is not what they are doing.

To my understanding, a player that accepts a "rejected deal" (after arbitration and all that) is ineligible. So the teams won't play them. But the player is free to take the money and perform his NIL duties.

For me it is. I had major complications when I had my son (resulted in pretty major brain damage) and can’t work anymore.

But the sports attorneys practicing now are going to make a killing. It’s just like the NCAA to throw up their hands and play ostrich on this one.

So does this help us

Scholarship increase helps.
The Pay part will be based on how much they target regarding NIL. The thing is the clearinghouse is supposed to approve NIL deals, but the actual fact is you can still sign whatever NIL deal you want, just if it is not approved by the clearinghouse, the NCAA can then target you and do.... well who the **** knows what they can do since they will lose every single case in court about NIL payments until the Players unionize and sign a CBA.

So everyone, from Bama, Miami to San Jose State, gets the same cap. Then, the playing field is too level so the SEC is allowed to drop bags with no repercussions again.

Which is EXACTLY what the SEC(and their bought and paid for legislators, who you know put pressure on the judges) want. A truly free market hurts the SEC, because as we've seen, these players were undervalued for DECADES. The SEC is starting to realize that if it became a truly free market, a lot of their blue blood schools couldn't compete at the level they once could. You're starting to see programs like Miami, USC, SMU and others back in the hunt, because city money trumps country money. There's a reason why the moment the SEC co-opted the NCAA enforcement arm, the schools they went after were Miami and USC. That wasn't a coincidence. They crippled SMU for two generations, merely for doing something Alabama does year in and year out.
 
I think it'll be intesteding to see how the funding is distributed though. Like does every player just get the same amount for the direct payments? I'd guess

1. For the direct payments You distribute the direct payments based on Factors like Years in program, Depth Chart, Snaps/Production. So maybe you have like a range from FR getting redshirted getting paid $20K direct to FRAA getting like $100K. And maybe a JR backup making like $40k to a JR starter making $200k, and if they are AA making like $400K. Something like that.
2. Then every player earn a baseline set amount from NIL on 2-3 year contract - say $100k yr 1, $200k yr2, $300k yr3. think it's important that if there is a clearinghouse that works by approving deals that are market rate, flooding the market with a lot of high priced deal only helps us in an argument that we are indeed paying market rates....
3. Then for top starters you give a secondary NIL package on top of the two payments above. Ideally you could do this through a Public company which completely bypasses the Clearinghouse entirely.

depth chart or snaps + class or whatever. So that would average about $100k/player, but more than likely be like $20K for backups/Fr redshirts, like $80K for rotational players, $150k for starters, and like an additional $50k for Upperclassm
