It is a global accounting firm used by many of the Fortune 500 companies

Agreed. The other thing(s): isn’t “the market value” of a player literally “what someone is willing to pay”? As example, a lending institution may say “your house is worth $500k”. But someone comes in and says “I love it, I’ll give you $750k”. Is the clearinghouse going to nullify any NIL that...

SEC I’m thinking LSU and Tennessee are two of the three.

Many believe the ridiculous numbers being thrown at Ty are being driven out of desperation by some programs. They’ve missed on top portal QB target(s) and throwing stupid money at him. Would Ty be a “good get” for some program if he took the portal route. Yeah but not a $4-$6 million price tag.,

Reason these programs trying to buy what they can while Deloitte is still trying to find its sea legs. The interesting thing is that all student athletes in Division 1 and Division 2 are required to register with the clearinghouse as part of the eligibility process now. And the athletes are...

Truthfully I wish Ty the best whatever he decides. One of the last of a dying breed in college football -a young man that spent his entire career at Alabama putting the team ahead of himself. Don’t care if he ends up at one of our biggest rivals. I’ll always pull for him.

Deloitte NCAA Clearinghouse - third party brought in as part of the House v. NCAA settlement.

Not always. Some players have taken less in NIL to play for a desired program. As example, Cam Coleman took $500k less in NIL when he signed with Auburn because he had greater comfort with the Auburn staff and it was closer to home.

Which i think is where recruiting starts changing. It isn’t about signing a full class of 4 and 5 stars to develop and paying them substantial dollars as freshman. I think it will be finding that handful of guys that are “play readiy” and will contribute significantly as freshman. Players like...

Deloitte is the clearinghouse. Right now they don’t know whether to “scratch their fanny or wind their watch.” And programs like Texas Tech, Texas, TAMU with major dollar boosters are taking advantage of it. There are some legal experts saying this may not end well. If Deloitte gets it acts...

So no competition with Alberto? So pay Hoover the bucks, put the crown on him before he ever takes a snap? Not saying it’s wrong, just assumed they would give Alberto a look. Wonder if Alberto jumps in the portal after the Championship game.

Questions concerning our NIL and Revenue Sharing: I’m pretty sure the $20.5 million in revenue sharing per institution is to be spread across athletic programs..Any idea or estimate on what is being allocated towards the football program? Additionally, think I read that Alabama’s NIL budget was...

I’ve stayed out of the game thread until now. Texas has suckered us into playing “their game”. No perimeter ball movement and we are dribbling too much.,

From what I’m reading, Smothers committed to Alabama but signed nothing.

We know that would have been binding, right?
