Boosters can technically pay athletes as of July 1

[HuskyHawk]

It seems to that there is an implicit assumption that NIL money will disappear after a kid leave college or that NIL rights are the something accorded to a college athletes only. When a kid leaves college to go pro, their followers don't evaporate. They keep their NIL money plus earn a pro salary.

May lose some, will likely gain others. It will work out. Kids who don't go pro can certainly lose followers or interest in NIL deals. Depends on what is driving the interest really. Are the funny? Hot? But in any event they aren't worse off.

I feel bad for Sid Wilson and Jellyfam right now. Missed the window by a few years.

Riddle me this: Can a school still prohibit players from accepting money for endorsement? I can see someone at the end of the bench taking money to endorse a website in social media, then being told by the school their scholarship would be given to someone else the following year.

Yes, I think so. But then of course the player can transfer.

Here is the first 2 million dollar deal.

With millions of dollars in the bank as a teenager, Miller stated that he'll be putting his newfound money back into the community -- though he will treat himself to a new Tesla as well.

I know players can't market themselves in uniform or using the school name, but if they get the school's permission (so basically, if the school gets a cut) would they then be able to make a commercial in uniform? Or is that an NCAA rule?

Apparently the answer is yes, though not the exact same as your scenario. But seems like it would be possible

That answers that question. UConn will be allowing their logo to be used, no doubt.

Did anyone look into this?

It's 100% a shell company tax evasion or money laundering scheme.

Look at the web design company's website:

Web Apps America - Website, Mobile, and Designs Experts

Unlimited Website, Mobile, and Design Experts at a fixed monthly price.

www.webappsamerica.com

The press release quotes the CEO of the company but doesn't name them. So funny.

USC and UCLA should do well with all of their producers and directors working directly with advertisers. If a rich Harvard or Yale Alum wants to see a national title contender they can make it happen now too. Imagine a 5* recruit with a cameo in a blockbuster movie or presented by Facebook. It’ll be interesting to see which schools do well with this and which ones don’t. I have a feeling UConn will be net neutral and middle of the pack overall with NIL

This is why all this hyperventilating is kinda insane. People are scared of losing college basketball as they know it (which is incredibly exploitative to the players)

But it is just as likely this improves the competitive balance, spreads out talent and makes a MORE compelling tournament/season than it gets worse.

Its the not knowing that is making them all a bunch of chicken littles. Let it play out - there is a lot of money on the line for everyone to figure out a system.

The real problem is the NCAAs complete inability to sheperd this transition gracefully because they are so invested in the exploitative system, and rather leaving it to a chaotic unregulated mess that implements in like 2 weeks.

If some non P5 teams look like they're gaining an advantage watch how fast the NCAA steps in.

I suggested this multiple times on the fb board this week. We need to have a department not just as a regulator but as a facilitator.

The NCAA, which does nothing fast and has no enforcement teeth and has just been castrated by the US supreme court and Congress for violating players rights?

Are we talking about the same NCAA?
