BREAKING NCAA Capitulates... No more NIL investigations

[BamaNation]

NCAA announces it is ceasing NIL investigations.
The NCAA just became the worlds largest event management group. Big decisions will now be made like who can bring the potato salad?

In a letter to member schools Friday, NCAA president Charlie Baker said the Division I board of directors directed enforcement staff "to pause and not begin investigations involving third-party participation in NIL-related activities."

In this environment, all schools should cut the coaching salaries by 75% and reallocate those funds to NIL deals for players. That's all that matters now. Obviously, contracts will need to be shred to handle this, but hey, it's NIL season, contracts smontracts.

bye college football, it was fun while it lasted

I’m done, it’s been a nice run. Someone message me when CFB has this under control. If Ever. Even greedy professional sports leagues realize competition drives the bus. With no salary cap, there will be no competitive leagues. Just a couple of really great teams.

A world with no rules is where it feels we are going

And just think, instead of offering a vision of the future, the NCAA - because of its fear of lawsuits over the last 15 years - has decided to give in to the anarchy. With the SEC & Big10 being the only rational actors in this mess, its no wonder they're grabbing the reigns, forging a rational path forward and saying get on board if you dare or get run over.

This world has become a place I no longer recognize. Common sense has disappeared and few care.

YEP! They realize the Power 2 are about to file for the long developing divorce and anything they do will only magnify their ineptitude. Now all they can do is hope they get the vacation home (basketball tournament) in the aftermath.

Wow!

So UT and VA lawyer up( like awbern did) and got the results that they wanted...

We should have lawyered upback in 1993.

To be fair, there really is NO solution to the whole NIL nightmare. Pandora's Box has been opened and there is no way to manage what has been unleashed.

Wonder if the NCAA secretly wants to kill CFB since they don't get any $ from the CFP. It was their arrogant refusal to consider any sort of money-earning opportunities for players that led to the court system unleasing this mess.

We’ve been there since 2020

Just go to intramural leagues and let the pros run their farm systems.

I'm sure this is no surprise to Saban. This is why he retired IMO.

Guard Rails Off, Wallets Open.
Now I look for teams to approach the better QBs, WRs, and make them an offer that will be considerably higher.
We are officially one step closer to being Minor League Teams for the NFL.
I also believe we are one step closer to withdrawing from the NCAA.

Yeah, I've been drifting that way, but as of now I doubt I'll watch any CFB this fall.

 

[JDCrimson]

I think we are beyond the minor leagues for the NFL. Some of these guys are getting way more than minor league money.

It still blows my mind that people are willing to give their money to this crap. It's hilarious.
