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.
If greed is involved , someone will figure out how to subvert the rules.

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.

" 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. "
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.

We will see how he does when he is confronted with Auburn or Tennessee cheating...
