tremendous first post after 6.5 years. what do you mean the boosters will be doing so at a loss? as opposed to what? recruits don't sign IOUs with boosters that become due with interest upon agreeing to professional rookie contracts. and if they did, the only thing this changes is the size of the IOU. kentucky is also in the sec.

I actually didn't even know I had this account until I tried logging in since I just lurk for news. My point is that schools like Auburn that have been pouring money into basketball but lack passionate basketball fanbases are not going to benefit as much. Sure, boosters can use this to openly funnel money to players, but that's small potatoes compared to the big corporations that want to make profits. Corporations have an incentive to use players for marketing purposes in locations with passionate and sizeable fanbases. People say that Creighton has a very passionate fan base. If true, their players could benefit a lot from regional marketing. Of course, the most well-known and popular schools like Duke will do the best. I'm sure Nike will be dishing out a lot of money to the top NBA prospects.

This is the issue. I suggested before that no deals related to name or likeness until they commit to a school. That should be the rule. No offers can be made by boosters until a signed LOI. That needs to be the rule.

good luck proving it though...

Also....use this logic for a dual sport kid like Jeremy bloom. Or even say a Chris Weinke type.

I’m not sure it works. But I 100% agree with the spirit of your proposal.
