Common sense and small egos; neither of which exists in the NIL era!

At a certain point it just makes more sense to buy a professional team.

Saban warned the sec..
"I mean, kids grew up wanting to go to LSU, Alabama and Georgia. Got the money now. They don’t mind going to Ohio State. They don’t mind going to other places. So, that geographic advantage that the Southeast Conference may be changing a little bit now, with the different culture, with NIL and the money involved in decision-making. I think that’s created a bit of an edge for the Big Ten."

As numerous posts in this thread explain, revenue share is capped and NIL deals are subject to scrutiny via a clearinghouse to ensure there is a legitimate exchange of value.
You cannot simply have boosters pay money to athletes in the guise of empty NIL deals any longer.

I personally want to see SMU start pouring the coals to NIL and start wrecking shop.

It’s gonna be cool when they impose a salary cap so we will basically just be watching the NFL in different uniforms.

Teams will find ways to pay players just like before the NIL era.
Exactly.
Within a few years House settlement will be litigated into irrelevance

Get ready for Harvard, Yale and Cornell to make the jump if this were ever to happen.....Get the Ivy Diploma.....and get paid at the same time.

There are still a lot of unanswered legal questions regarding how much can be spent per year or how much we’ll make it through the clearing house.

0 chance this holds up in court when challenged.
Its already been approved by a court. Its the result of a settlement of a class action lawsuit over restrictions on NIL payments.
The athletes opt in to the settlement agreement in order to get paid, and in doing so they waive any anti trust claims they may have relating to NIL payments.
Its not likely to be challenged until some attorney convinces a hot shot Freshman athlete to opt out of the settlement and bring a lawsuit.
Even then, if he is successful, he will just be paving the way for future athletes...the ones who have already opted in will be stuck.

Third party NIL is still the primary force. The Collectives were given the right to keep paying players to advertise for the Collectives. So, they can pay an athlete to, say, sign autographs at an alumni fund raiser, even though the funds are being raised for the Collective.
The limitation is the contracts have to be fair market value. I don't know what FMV for an autograph signing like above would be, but it probably isn't $500K. To spend the money on these athletes they have to organize a TON of marketing scenarios.

The rules that say NIL deals must be for a legitimate business purpose and must be reasonably equivalent to what the public at large would get for a similar deal.
So no $25mm deals from Raising Cane's to be on a billboard.

A single billion in 30 yr treasuries right now generates $1MM every 7.73 days.
It isn’t material for someone with a few billion to throw $1MM at something like NIL.

The market dictates what it’ll be. It’s going up to 40 now. It seems like at the high high point. It will continue to rise. Eventually, it will get to that if nothing is done to stop it.

They do not want Congress to start thinking about legislation,
If a team tried to go Dodgers on College Football a lot of folks in Congress would take a look.

Yep, the Ivy League will be the new SEC.

"Start" thinking? The SCORE act is already working its way through committee. It essentially codifies the House settlement, and gives anti trust protection to the schools and conferences as long as they follow the rules.
I don't know if its a good idea to codify this system before we know if it works....but the anti trust exemption is a good thing.

NIL deals now have to show a legitimate business purpose and be for a reasonable market value. Any deal over $600 has to get approved by an NCAA clearinghouse to show its not flat out pay for play.
The days of high school linemen getting $500K “NIL” deals before they ever step foot on campus are over
ETA: well they could still get paid directly from the school, but thats limited to $20.5 million total per year spread among multiple sports
