This is going to get good when one of these players waits till the NCAA deadline passes and files suit against the university for damages.

They’ll win, because schools have to abide by the 48 hour deadline, and the kid may be able to prove damages because of the portal offers to other players at their position.

Couple that with Ole Miss abiding by every other request to jump into the portal and they’re toast. Even with the new agreement, it has a stipulation for the buyout. That means the kid can get out of the agreement and Ole Miss is just violating their own agreement.

Attorney may sue and ask for punitive damages.

This is a fricking mess.

The NCAA is 75% to blame

It would be 40%, but the NCAA has verified that they dont know how to properly enforce ANYTHING that they set precedents for...and just about any student athlete that knows how to dial a phone number to a lawyer can beat any schmuck the NCAA throws at them

They created a fricking problem. I cant blame anyone for exposing it. Hopefully in the long run, this shite gets fixed, because even though it feels like we're finally winning again, this is not amateur football


And if thats the new NCAA, then frick it. Let's call it that, then move towards a new Era

$600,000 is just the starting point. -$300,000 to Ole Miss -$300,000 from LSU NIL pool next year Then the salary for the player….


You’re double-counting the buyout. If they were to sign him for $1.7M and pay a $300K buyout, that just means they are spending $2M total and all $2M counts toward the revenue sharing cap, even though the player is only getting $1.7M directly. It’s not $2.3M.

According to the house settlement case you pay the buyout and also take a cap hit the next year

Pete Nakos is a MORON! I'm pretty sick of the guy giving out FALSE info. His sources have their heads up their asses. Princewell is IN the portal right now. According to 247Sports he was in the portal YESTERDAY. God, I wish this Nakos guy would just STFU!G

That just means the money paid for the buyout counts toward the cap. It doesn’t get counted twice. If you pay the player $1.7M and $300K for the buyout, you don’t get to only count the $1.7M toward the cap. You have to count the full $2M. Effectively, they are saying you are paying the player $2M and then he is paying the $300K buyout. It’s still only a $2M hit overall. It’s not going to cost LSU $600K.

I just used ai to look into this, and according to its research he is not “officially” entered into the portal.

I do not know. But I also don’t like this Nakos guy.

Fair, I’m hoping he’s in. But it wouldn’t surprise me to see these hypocrites at OM pull this.

Yeah I find it to be much better at theoretical future ideas, creating as opposed to digging into current real world hard facts.

The NIL side has to pass through the clearinghouse, so there is a Fair Market Value cap on it. The Rev Share funds aren't subject to the clearinghouse.

They know what they're doing though, and the deals have probably been NIL market value plus Rev Share on top of that to make the icing on the cake.

Can someone explain how this is different than the Demond situation?


Buyout is 300k not 4 million

That would be pretty different in my opinion
