NCAA finally waves white flag on NIL

Stop with the Chicken Little nonsense. For fuck's sake.

 

Barstool is getting in on the ground floor.

 

Master P's son signed with Web Apps America for $2m. He's playing ball at Tennessee State. I suspect a couple of good ballers he likes will be recruited and also get a contract, quite possibly out of his pocket.

 

I prefer to wait to see what will happen. Not to be disrespectful, but I'll listen to a D1 head coach's opinion on what could happen before some random guy on the Internet. His sport isn't football. Even losing as little as 10-20K of booster support is significant. For fuck's sake.

 

I don’t think we’ll see much impact this season but I do think we will by the end of basketball season.

Most of us are in agreement that players should earn income. That’s cool. The Cameo business, for example, is an easy stream for a “name” player.

Money makes everything more of what it already is. Not just people.

This will make college football even more split on inequity but we’re all used to that already.

Athletic departments, often mismanaged financially before the pandemic, will find any excuse to cut non-rev programs and they’ll find a bunch here.

AAU ball/parents will be even worse. The closer you get to finishing “in the money”, everyone gets tighter. It’s like the WSOP.

 

Any dollar that is being diverted from administration to an athlete who earns it is welcome, in my view.
Can you imagine any workplace in the world where people bemoan sponsorship dollars going directly to the employees, instead of to admin? Who besides Scrooge McDuck could think this is a bad thing?

 

You mean we may find ourselves watching Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State in the semi-finals of the playoff every year? OH NOES!

Lots of kids are going to think they are going to make a lot of money. The smart ones who know how to monetize social media will be early success stories. There are an amazing amount of girls/women between 16-30 who have nice followings on Tik Tok and IG who get paid to promote products. It takes work and creativity.
In the end it will be fool’s gold for most of the players, like it is now. 5 star HS stars fade much more often than they succeed. And coaches will discover they have a lot more power over their p,Ayers than in the past. They have the power to threaten their current income not just future income.

 

oh btw, that idiotic libtard state California led the way on this becoming a reality. Was the first state to pass NIL legislation.

 

Can't wait to see Occidental vs. Gardner Webb, stacked because of smart NIL recruiting, make the hoops Final Four and play in the title game in a few years.

 

Here’a how fucked up the NCAA’s arguments were: Even Matt Gaetz was on the athletes’ side.
