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

If you just went with the old model for compensation — endorsements -- how many Husker players from the last 20 years would you buy cars, or Runzas, or sod webworm insecticide from? 

How much money would a local endorsement earn the player?

Does anyone still care about the NCAA and their "violations"?

Well....the way it is, no. 

But, the situation right now with the portal and NIL combined, is unsustainable if they want to continue to have college football as popular as it has been.  (obviously my opinion).  

So, what needs to happen is someone (NCAA) needs to have strong regulation of some kind on all of it.  Problem is, I have no idea what that can even look like.

The NCAA can save a lot of face and actually become a very relevant organization if they can figure that out.  But, the problem always has been that the NCAA is there to police the very people who write their checks.  That is a huge motivation for corruption within the organization.

Wait. So all these exorbitant numbers we've been seeing are likely excessively inflated?

Color me shocked.


 
Wonder how far the Big XII will tumble when Texas and Oklahoma leave.   I can't envision the remaining schools being big spenders in NIL

Looks like SEC still likes the brown bag method of paying players.  Old habits are hard to break

Plus the schools don't sit in population centers. You got Vandy in Nashville and UGA a stone's throw from Atlanta.  SEC is a lot more rural college towns than people see on TV.  They can't hardly wait to show a cornfield when talking about Lincoln or Omaha.  Texas will certainly help that.
