What Happens to College Sports After the House Case is Settled

[LanceyHoward]

I thought schools could not participate in NIL.

The majority of the reporting I have seen is that NIL will continue after the House settlement, The NIL collectives are separate entitles from the athletic departments of the school and hence not parties to the lawsuit. As a result the collectives can continue with their activities.

Yes, but the money PSU/WSU receive in the settlement can't be used for NIL without some sort of rule change, right?

Get ready for sponsor logos on CFB fields.

NCAA to consider allowing sponsor logos on field in wake of proposed revenue sharing settlement

Eh. They're on basketball courts now. BlaiseAlexander.com at Penn State!

"I'll give you a chance to match that offer, or I'll be putting in my two weeks' notice. I'm here to make money."

Cool. Hope your new place pays moving expenses --- or have you even unpacked yet? --- has health insurance as good as ours and is not going to cost you twice as much in housing . . . you know, things you never had to think about before.

I think you are correct.

Good story here about Division II, specifically the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Colorado's Division II schools are missing out on a recent NCAA settlement to pay student-athletes. Here's how they plan to stay competitive

(Colorado) Mines is taking advantage as bigger schools focus less on high school recruiting and more on attracting transfers, (AD David) Hansburg said – using its academic reputation to attract and retain student-athletes.

"We joke that we're the original NIL. You get a degree from Mines and you're going to make a lot of money. So, leaving Mines is a bad business decision," Hansburg said. "So we are kind of unique in that way."

If this means that universities are back in the business of actually providing education, this will be the best thing that ever happened for society in general.

There will be other schools who use that argument among the smaller schools and they will have facts on their side. For reasons that're obvious, Delaware's chemical engineering department is second to none.Lots of specialty disciplines out there.

Mike, etc., have had their logos on uniforms for decades. Are they not "sponsor" logos?

Yep. I wasn't aware that there have been sponsor logos on uniforms, but that wouldn't shock me.

OK. And?

That's what capitalism is.

Mines is a very difficult school and as the AD said, you graduate from there, you're going to make a lot of money. It's also very demanding.

A few years ago, I was working a football scrimmage there at their gorgeous field at the base of the Rockies. Up a few thousand feet on Lookout Mountain is a white "M." A player and I were talking and he said, "You see that M up there? You know what it stands for?"

Me: "Um, Mines."

Him: "No. Misery."

Seems a safe bet.

I think most of the G5 and below will basically be doing this. While a few, like Memphis, have a donor base that lets them recruit with money, most will be selling education, the team family and coaching kids up, playing time, possibly even getting them good enough to be recruited away. I doubt that UAB has more than 200 to 300k in NIL money to play with, and most of that will go to retention.
