SEC is going to be more corrupt then it already is...

I've seen a lot of the "college players can be paid" stuff, especially from media outlets, but that ain't the case at all. What the NCAA released was just a PR thing for the most part (and it worked). The wording that's sketchy is they are considering that players will have an "opportunity" to profit off of their likeness "in a manner consistent with the collegiate model". If y'all trust the NCAA to greenlight kids taking endorsement deals left and right then you're nuts. They won't give up power that easily, especially because in the press release they said they wanted to re-affirm that athletes are students and not employees of the unviersity.

tl:dr this was a PR stunt because they were backed into a corner, nothing of consequence has happened (yet), but we might get a NCAA football game woooo

Wonder how this is going to work with the transfer Portal? Imagine Tua signed with UCLA and had a great freshman yeah...then someone places a call to his pops and offers him 2mil a year to sponsor a Ford dealership in Alabama if he transfers? Not saying this stuff doesn't happen today...but this opens up schools with the largest boosters free reign.

Yep. Small schools will be hurt even more by this rule.

Now that college Athletes can be paid for the likeness it makes it a lot easier to drop those bags. Boosters can literally give a friend money and tell them to offer so and so player 100K for his autograph and it's totally legal now
NCAA stated it is implementing rules to ensure competitive balance. 100k for one autograph would not likely be within said rules.

In the end, big market Miami gets a win with legal endorsement. This is a good thing
 
They benefit the most from it, people thinks this helps Um. It pretty much kills UM

(real question...no sarcasm) How do you think it hurts UM?

Here's why I think, if done properly, schools in major metro areas, can really benefit from this. Schools can 'recruit' kids and set them up with the many local businesses, in that school's vicinity, for paid appearances and endorsements. Restaurants, malls, sporting good stores, grocery stores, tourist and service industry spots, car dealerships, and the many many more Miami businesses can host UM players and now pay them...above the table. The coaches (or whoever now will 'recruiting' the kid) can advertise all of this and how that kid can grow his brand in the glitz and glam of Miami...not the smaller college-town universities...the ones we many so many times recently lost recruits to. The opportunities for UM to take this and run with it, all legal now, are seemingly endless. We embraced the portal and probably should this huge change also.

I know people get weird around here and all that, but who cares...it is for the above stated reasons that I think schools like UCF could benefit from this new pay system.

But again, I'm interested in hearing counter point on possible drawbacks for UM.
