The NCAA will allow athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness

My man buys cars like he buys shoes. That's a quarter million dollar Volkswagen, literally a German VW platform with a Hungarian VW engine. At least the seats are hand stitched in Italy.

 

I wonder if he really bought it or if it's a NIL lease.

Donor fatigue: Some college football fans wonder why they have to pay for players

That is an emerging complaint from fans and one more factor that could create big changes in college sports, including revenue sharing in which schools directly pay their athletes, rather than asking fans to foot the bill through collectives.

There’s a term for it in the NIL industry: donor fatigue. Fans who are already asked to donate a lot for season tickets, not to mention the facilities arms race, are now being asked to essentially pay the players, while the schools are prohibited from doing so directly by NCAA rules.

Yes, this is a problem.  Nebraska is going to be pulling in close to $100M when the new B1G TV contracts kick in.  But it is boosters/fans/corporations that are responsible for paying the players.

The NCAA tried to make it a rule that recruits couldn't discuss NIL before enrolling and it was thrown out by the courts.

"Without relief, the NCAA will continue to deprive Plaintiff States' athletes of information about the market value for their NIL rights, thereby preventing them from obtaining full, fair-market value for those rights," the opinion states. "Their labor generates massive revenues for the NCAA, its members, and other constituents in the college athletics industry — none of whom would dare accept such anticompetitive restrictions on their ability to negotiate their own rights. Those athletes shouldn't have to either."

On what authority can he even enforce that? He is not a party in the transaction. I guess he could maybe suspend a player from the team for taking NIL money, but wouldn't coaches be subject to pretty much the same legalities that made the NCAA allow it?

Maybe he's just trying to get fired?
