BREAKING House Versus NCAA Settlement Reached
- Thread starter CB4
- Start date
My only Intel is a glance at the articles in this thread. But, overall it's definitely a step in the right direction. Particularity having them be able to check to make sure non school sanctioned NIL money will be scrutinized to make sure outside deals aren't just a work around and these players are getting deals that don't overly outsize their value.
For example the Mbakwe situation. Third or fourth string wide receiver and/or third or fourth string corner reportedly being offered a million by a rival team. I even take into account that he has name value from high school and his podcast and things of that nature... That should be taken into account. I think schools need to be able to showcase that they can create a brand around players like Jalen who aren't even playing and deals can maybe come that way.

I read that and am hopeful Seely will be tough on anyone stepping outside the parameters. I saw a quote about it being harsh and fast on those who want to paint outside the lines. If it is done this way this will be a dramatic improvement to the current system.
They already have their counter law suits drafted. All they have to do is fill in the names and dates then hit send.
Theres’s less shopping for a better deal this way. If you tell TeamB what TeamA is offering, then you just ratted TeamA out.
Tennessee cant cheat, they have a state law to get out of jail free. Im curious how that law will fit with the House settlement.
if they act differently, does the SEC tell Vandy and the Vols to GET OUT!
This is probably a good thing for Alabama.
It will be interesting to see how each school manages the bucket of money. If you were willing to put football on the back burner, you could have the best men's and women's basketball teams, the best baseball and softball teams, etc.

Gee, does the agreement have a clause that says the "athlete" has to attend class in order to receive payment?
Judge signs settlement; colleges to pay athletes
Schools are now free to begin paying their athletes directly, marking the dawn of a new era in college sports brought about by a multibillion-dollar legal settlement that was formally approved Friday.www.espn.com
I don't understand that part either. How can someone go back and claim something that didn't exist at the time they were playing? They must not have used their educational scholarship very well, or maybe they wouldn't need to make a claim. Of course, if someone wants to throw some free money at me, I'll take it.Those poor atheletes!
“Despite some compromises, the settlement agreement nevertheless will result in extraordinary relief for members of the settlement classes,” Wilken wrote in her 76-page final opinion. “If approved, it would permit levels and types of student-athlete compensation that have never been permitted in the history of college sports, while also very generously compensating Division I student-athletes who suffered past harms.”

Okay, now the schools can pay players directly. Does this end NIL, or can NIL co-ops still pay a player additional money - on top of the school money - to come play for them?Basically this paves the way for Universities to pay players directly and sets up settlements for NIL payments going back to 2016.
Judge approves landmark House v. NCAA settlement
Fifty-nine months after the initial class-action House v. NCAA suit was filed, it has been resolved. A landmark decision in college sports.www.on3.com
I don't think they're supposed to be able to anymore. I could be wrong, because there's so much ambiguity, but but I think that's what they're trying to crack down on with the creation of the enforcement committee they've been discussing. But they weren't technically supposed to be doing it even before the settlement, so who knows if this will actually have the effect we've been hoping.
I think what the settlement is supposed to do is provide a little bit of a legal shield to allow them to be able to set some basic rules, so it's at least not a complete wild wild west. The bar for potential lawsuits should.be a little bit higher, now that we have an established framework of payment.

There is something about public universities representatives sitting with an 18 year old who has questionable academic credentials, in many cases, and discussing how many millions the University will commit to paying him befroe he plays a down. As above post my out of interest light is flashing red.
Which goes to a deeper philosophical question of “How does having what boils down to basically a professional team sporting the University brand “fit” into the academic mission of the university itself?”. Are there going to be academics standards involved or does that go out the window? Are they going to be “students of the university” or “students of the game they play”?
Correct me if I'm wrong but this salary for the players thing has nothing to do with NIL agreements does it? They can still negotiate whatever they want with whoever they want correct? It just means they could do nothing beyond be on the team and get a paycheck.
since the cap is for the athletic department a school that has no football team could definitely be the high bidder for another sport like basketball, so I can see some nobody team running an NBA franchise in college.
On the other hand could a school cut the basketball and baseball teams and just spend it all on football?
How long before a female tennis player sues the school because she doesn't get paid the same salary as the starting QB
Do starters get paid more than backups?
Since they are paid a salary can they now be hit with breach of contract?
