The game just changed forever

That's what i was thinking. I apologize to everyone if I'm just really dumb, but doesn't this just make the "bag" game legal? So now everyone can bag it's just a matter of how much?

I think the issue is Miami is run by a bunch of soft feminist who will work hard to figure out how to make Miami benefit the least from this situation.

I can see Other schools rolling out the red carpet with opportunities for elite athletes to get paid while “the Harvard of the south” is going to act like paying players is against their moral code.

Not necessarily, it's dependent on if some of the hidden big dogs come out and play. Some of the schools with the largest endowments are either mediocre or just bad at football but are top level academia's. If Harvard had the ability to recruit some of these 4 and 5 star recruits, they could pay more than Alabama, OSU, or a Clemson. Only schools like Texas, Texas A&M or a UGA could go dollar for dollar with some of these Ivy league schools.

Nope bc that was the first thing I thought about. I really don’t see how this would benefit Miami in terms of us being able to offer something another program can’t.

I think being in the Miami area there are more opportunities to market yourself. We also have lost many recruits to other programs because the family needed money, this gives the student an opportunity to help out financially and still go to Miami.

Of course..a kid from south Florida whose already a little league/high school football star should have even more incentive to stay home & reap those benefits going forward into their college career.

Can’t convince me that a kid whose already a football a star from south Florida will make more money off of their likeness and image in a BS college town.

I hope that is the case, but let's say these kids can endorse something on Instagram or sell autographs. Now let's take a Bama booster who owns the dealership that gives them all of the chargers. Who is saying what market value is? Are they capping it? If not, what is to stop this guy from just giving Tua $250k for an instagram post or $1k per autograph. I see why the "bigger market" would lead to bigger endorsements, but I just see it as a way for more of the bigger booster schools to legally pay players for nonsense. Does anyone in Miami really care about a UM player's endorsement?

This is a really slippery slope. Can a school now include in recruiting pitches an "estimated" amount of money they can expect to see? Can they guarantee a certain amount? Obviously Alabama is going to sell a **** of a lot more jerseys than Miami is.

I think players should be paid and the idea of amateurism died long ago, but I think these other schools are going to push the limits of what is legal in a big way.

Larger markets (Miami, Chicago, LA based programs)will get a bump just because of brand sponsorships - i.e. business to promote. But overall the blue chips will still reign for the meantime - they sell the most merch.

Can't be any worse for us than it is now. The U has always been huge TV ratings and logo, maybe being a Cane like The Rock will get bigger dollar value for players. Also, players will have more to lose if caught with bag money. US, UCLA and Miami have the big markets. Most other schools are in smaller markets, even whole states are smaller. ND and PSU with huge alum base will profit too.
 
As someone who spends a lot of his time working in the digital marketing world, I promise you the schools who pour money into helping their players market themselves will benefit greatly.

No one does this better than Oklahoma currently, they do a great job of showcasing their players over social media platforms.

Miami being a destination for celebs and a major media market should help us. If we use it to our advantage. Truthfully, I have NO faith in the people in charge to execute.

Miami is a pro town. Outside a couple of big names, the average citizen didn't know any Miami players even in 2001.

If we don’t start winning and looking good doing it, then all we are going to be is caught up in pay for play battles for 3 star recruits 🤦‍♂️

I agree this would solve that narrative but most elite players still want to play for good teams.
 
People don't realize that ads won't be able to refer to "Miami Hurricanes" or use Miami's logos. The average Miami-Dade resident isn't going to have any idea who this kid is in the Kendall Toyota commercial.
