If greed is involved , someone will figure out how to subvert the rules.Some of yall are missing that this is a good thing.
This, in theory, creates the gaurdrails for NIL and gives the NCAA a way to actually enforce their rules.
If you were tired of giant NIL deals for high school recruits, this is a major positive going forward.
We have to see how it will work in practice but this was a good first step.
What's new about that?If greed is involved , someone will figure out how to subvert the rules.
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." To ensure this new system is under control, the Power Five conferences announced the creation of the College Sports Commission, a new organization responsible for making sure schools follow the rules. The commission will investigate violations, manage penalties, and handle disputes. Bryan Seeley, has been named the commission's first CEO. Seeley was previously a Major League Baseball executive and federal prosecutor. "

They already have their counter law suits drafted. All they have to do is fill in the names and dates then hit send.We will see how he does when he is confronted with Auburn or Tennessee cheating...
Theres’s less shopping for a better deal this way. If you tell TeamB what TeamA is offering, then you just ratted TeamA out.I'm certain we will see under the table pay return but many have been longing for that.
..and tifwiw, that favors bama if we are back to that.
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.We will see how he does when he is confronted with Auburn or Tennessee cheating...
if they act differently, does the SEC tell Vandy and the Vols to GET OUT!.Senate Bill 536 - law's protection and the potential for greater autonomy may impact how Tennessee universities approach the revenue-sharing aspect of the House settlement, allowing them to potentially allocate funds differently.
True 'dat...They already have their counter law suits drafted. All they have to do is fill in the names and dates then hit send.
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.Okay, now the schools can pay players directly.

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.I'll file this under "be careful what you wish for"...lots of fans watch college sports because its not pro....when you make it just the same that will have a significant impact
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”?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.
