The negative for players who are getting big NIL packages

[6Nattys4Us]

If you play at a public school your NIL deal should be public information.

I’m hoping that the NCAA puts a cap on NIL budgets for all schools. Otherwise only P5 conferences will be able to afford the best players.

In any event I think that the NCAA whiffed on the whole NIL situation. Never took control of the proper oversight and it’s now the Wild West.

Beyond one playing the ageist card (Beyonce, Taylow Swift doesn't have to...) you wind back up in courts arguing publicly funded universities who then give scholarships to players would have to have players sign away the privacy of their NIL deal or what? They cannot receive a scholarship? NIL would just rise to cover that and pay the university on the player's behalf. There really is no way to compel them to make it public.

Not sure I've got this right-Maybe you guys can clarify for me. Is it true that in the not too distant future the NCAA will be putting a ceiling on NIL expenditure budgets for colleges so that there might be a more level playing field and/or at least limit the big conference schools from having a blank check for NIL? Or is that simply an idea that's being floated around with no chance of happening? Just curious-Thought I remember reading that in the last few months. Asking the Yard-didn't hit on Google.

I could be wrong on some of the details so correct me in I'm wrong, but my understanding of all this is that revenue sharing for student athletes will begin in the next academic year. Each school will pay out a cap the first year of $20.5 million. Most of that will go to football players. Men's basketball will probably be the second highest budgeted team. It is up to the schools to determine what each team gets.

On top of that there will be NIL but it will be heavily regulated by the NCAA. It won't be the pay for play model that currently exists where someone like AJ Dybantsa can get $5 million just for playing at BYU. Each student athlete can get their own NIL deals but the NCAA will determine what "market" is for promoting a product. How will they determine this? No idea! Sounds like collectives will still be used but there have to be actual NIL deals and not just use them for pay for play.

Everything is still up in the air and the implementation of all this has not been approved yet. Sounds like a pandora's box of issues coming but we are in unchartered waters now. As Hurley said recently, "Our sport is a circus right now."

This kind of explains it.

This seems to spell the end of the collectives since those have funded the pay for play model that currently exists.

Appreciate your input- My intention was not to derail OP. Probably should have saved my question for another day and within a different context. Have seen the 20.5M cap for first year as well. Will focus on tonite's game

For every negative, there are thousands, in some cases millions, of positives.

He could’ve been the best player on a top 25 Illinois team this year, he woulda been paid handsomely to do so, even if it wasn’t 2 million dollars.

He had to weigh the risk/reward of leaving, if he didn’t do that, I don’t have much sympathy.

Your post is quite flawed Nil is not provided by the schools
Nil is a contract between private parties
How that should possibly be public information is beyond me
For
You are hope for a cap on NIL budgets for the school again is flawed as they don’t provide the money
The NCAA did not wiiff on nil the courts were quite clear that they had no ability to control what players made off name, image, and likeness

The schools could attempt to limit, nil money
By making the players employees with contracts
That would also be difficult as it would seem to be an antitrust violation
