Here are the serious barriers for student buyouts.

1. They can't be tied to the university. Legally. That's pay-for-play if the university coordinates it. That makes students employees and that is the last thing the NCAA and universities want.

2. Since these students are not legally employees, it's highly questionable if these clauses would be enforceable. Not to mention the incredible media backlash of the inevitable lawsuits from universities suing their students.

3. If it can't be tied to the university, what's the point? We just start suing each other's NIL organizations?! All you're doing is burning money. The player will still leave. And there's no incentive for them to stay.

But the most important thing is that these clauses strengthen the student's legal argument that they're employees...a position that the NCAA and universities will always oppose because it will have disastrous consequences to the economics of college athletics and would probably kill most programs.

So please...this is a pointless thread. You're more likely to win the Powerball jackpot than this happening.
