The solution is so damn simple. Just implement an NIL salary cap. I’ve said it on here a bunch. If you go over the cap, you are ineligible for postseason play

Simple and illegal. You can’t limit wages unless the individual is in a union and getting paid through employer.

People like him have been fine for years with all sorts of stuff going on, but now that now that it is all legal, and other schools are shaking things up, it's the end of the world.

Yeah, that’s a false comparison. It’s kind of like saying people in major cities are being robbed anyway, so what’s the difference if we just stop having a police force.

I’m not sure it’s a solution, a Band-Aid perhaps but not a solution. Say you have a $2 million. How does that get spent? Every player equally? What if a rival’s booster is offering superstar $1 million in NIL. Think your superstar is going to settle for splitting his money equally?

There's nothing false about it. Athletes have been getting all sorts of stuff under the table for decades, and these guys never said anything. Now that the schools that they favor are finding themselves in a wide open "bidding war" for players, guys like Vitale want to claim some sort of moral high ground. Hypocrites, all of them.

There are basically no rules on NIL, so as long as you know a guy who knows a guy conversations can be had indirectly and it's not against the rules.

Given Caleb Williams was Addison's QB in HS, it smells extra funny. I imagine Lincoln knows what he's doing and to best of his ability has not left incriminating evidence of USC involvement. It'll be tough for Pitt to prove, but if Riley gets away with this, what he's orchestrated will certainly become a model for other big-pocket-booster programs going forward. And that's not good for CFB, at least not for the UConns of the world.

 
Self sabotage and intentional Khaos

I don’t think you should be labeled a conspiracy theorist for thinking it mighta had a significant hand in a 60 year old coach coming off a final 4 deciding to retire outa left field. Not saying it’s 100% the reason, but this is something reportedly many coaches are struggling with/are not a fan of.

And if you’re gonna ask why he wouldn’t just say it, anyone who comes out against NIL is the bad guy. I wouldn’t expect someone with his pristine reputation to risk becoming a public enemy with a controversial take on this. Much easier to use the family excuse every coach uses when they step down or are fired.

Again I don’t believe any of this 100%, but dismissing doesn’t make sense when it’s clearly making waves in the sport.

I buy that Wright angle. Recruiting is awful from all accounts. The college coaches hate it.

Look at Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan. They just as soon get the hell out of dodge than brokering cash to kids
 
1. The billionaire threatening the college student is a really good look, but then again we've recently pulled back the curtain on billionaires and they seem to have plenty of free time.

2. Why in the world are coaches and reporters blaming the NCAA for this? This is what you wanted!! You attacked the NCAA for the last 2 decades. Welcome to your NCAA fantasy. This is it.
 
NIL deals and Transfer Portal are more important than saving college sports in my opinion. That said, both could significantly damage college sports. Tough for me to say what may cause more damage. This transfer portal thing is chaos. Roster continuity may be a thing of the past.

In this contest for NIL money between school boosters we’re totally screwed. Our boosters are notoriously frugal and the support always seems luke warm.

Question. Can the NIL money be pooled for the entire team? Like NIL money for doing full team events for a business? Can Danny legally sell access to the team for shared NIL money?

Danny/UConn officially can't be involved in the deals. Someone else can, yes.

John Calipari slams NIL demands with transfer portal targets

John Calipari made it clear that players looking for financial guarantees will not be recruited by Kentucky moving forward.
www.on3.com www.on3.com

“The problem is the name, image and likeness should not be a part of it and it’s become a part of it,” Calipari said. “And if anybody is talking to me about name, image and likeness as part of the transfer, I’m not really interested.”

Players don’t sign with Kentucky for money, Calipari says. They sign with this program to compete for titles and develop alongside other elite talent. If they’re looking for anything else, Lexington won’t be their next home.

Yeah, right money hasn't played a role in KY basketball recruiting.

Interesting article. I think we can figure out a way to pay the market rate for basketball but I just can’t see uconn football ever being able to win against decent d1 team ever again…not that we were winning much before NIL.
 
Another poster contacted me that previously Maryland wasn’t heavily involved for Edwards. Now they are on his list and we aren’t. Maryland had Under Armour and we don’t. NIL’s are driving the bus right now for 4 and 5 star players.
 
I would make one rule change right now. Let players return to college after the NBA draft if they still have eligibility. The sport needs more chaos

Adds a whole new transfer period a few weeks before on campus activities. Sounds great!

Pretty sure they already do, with the caveat that they need to have participated in the NBA Combine in order to return to college - Link
