He’s not very connected either, so he lends no real insight to behind the scenes. Josh has skill, he has a fine channel. But it’s not really breaking any ground, and most certainly shouldn’t be used if you’re putting real money on the line.

    I posted a year ago that NIL was going to become a HUGE problem not just between some schools wanting to embrace it more than others… but also the tension it’s going to cause amongst players all playing on the same team.
    Just today it was announced that Jalon Daniels has signed a deal with Adidas. Yes… THE Adidas. Yeah right now everything seems all funny and cute. But all of these schools are going to run into jealousy, infighting, etc.
    Gradey Dick was doing car commercials that run on tv all the time before he dribbled one basketball for KU.

      The Universities are already cutting the check. They're probably on the 10-15k range most of the time. Those checks are for their tuition, books, computer, food rent, etc. Likely their are some variations from school to school. I don't see any mention of this fact, much less that most of the players will never be drafted into the NFL. But they will have the opportunity to have a career, with a degree in the field that person has chosen and qualifies for. I wish we could have had that for our daughter. I wish I had one when I was in college. Nope, a whole lot of us work and take on debt to pay for our education. Tens of thousands of dollars of debt before we've worked the first day for an employer that that degree qualified us for.

    The Iowa AD may be thinking farther ahead that most of us. The universities are not suppose to be part of the NIL process. Nobody knows how to enforce anything right now so everybody is doing it. But one day they may crack down on the universities involvement in NIL. He may just be saying that the collective can do whatever they want, but I need to keep my university out of it. He may also have donors that don't what their private financial information shared with the collective. I know that I don't want the university that I donate to, to send a pack of fundraisers after me to start nagging me every day. Once you make a donation, you are of the hot list that they will pester the heck out you continuously. They are as bad as telemarketers. There is nothing stopping those donors from contacting the collective directly (which is what the rules say they should do) and let the university remain pristine. For some reason, they believe it is the universities responsibility to be directly involved with the collective. Are other schools doing it? Absolutely. Are they putting themselves at risk that one day the NCAA starts handing out penalties to those universities? Absolutely. Then that Iowa AD will start looking pretty dang smart.

      NIL is going 2 ruin College football unless players are payed for their performance on the field period, when u have schools who don't gaf about how players perform in class it's a problem, if u make them earn that nil money it's going 2 change alot of what's going on, hell at some of these schools all u have 2 do to stay eligible 2 is keep a 2.0 gpa say what somebody please tell me the grade u need 2 keep what's that a damn C- too a C+ are u serious, have u ever noticed that player's who go 2 bama or top SEC schools they they never say I'm going here because of the academics they offer, they never say that, it's because those schools when it comes 2 sports especially 🏈 they don't GAD about academics that's why the GPA is so low so u can play, they take advantage of young black athletes because they don't care if you're smart in the classroom they'll make it easy for u, because they want u on that damn football field period, that goes for alot of schools, they make it so it's damn near impossible for u 2 mess up and if u do then hey it's not their fault u couldn't keep a C- avg it's insane 2 me and most of those kids don't make it, do u really think Nick S cares when he can just plug in the next 4 or 5🌟 kid come on people

You still have College Baseball players, after they choose whether to get paid to play( minor leagues) versus in College( not paid to play). Whole new Leagues will be created for the top teams now in BCS.

These major schools make MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars and especially with TV contracts. Its time to have a system to compensate a kid who is good enough to help bring attention to the school he plays for. if you are good enough to play at that level then you should be paid on a production tiered system being $40,000 at the lowest salary. If you graduate with a degree then you get a financial bonus for doing so. On top of this, a kid should be able to make deals with companies for money. Imagine the money that CJ Stroud made THE Ohio State University last Saturday and that generates MILLIONS of funds for professors to have salaries, research you name it!!! PAY THEM AND HAVE STRUCTURED FAIR SYSTEM IN PLACE. There is no where to go out of high school to make money if your good at football.

  • @robjohnston366
    @robjohnston366 Рік тому

    I really like Joel Klatt's ideas on how to fix NIL with respect to tampering and registering of NIL sources and agents. I'm expanding on his thoughts, so my ideas might not be totally in line with the things he proposed.
    Clearly a full-ride scholarship given to a fb or a bb player -- the predominance of other sports on campus give out partial rides -- is effectively a contract between a university and its student-athletes within these two sports, and it's obvious that there are some schools which have approached players who have been under scholarship at other universities -- I can think of at least two instances of this because they were blatant tampering and have been confirmed, and I think you know of the instances to which I refer. These acts should never be allowed and should be punished, except for the problem of their being corroborated and being brought out into the open.
    And let me add that a school is not likely to pull a scholarship within four years except for a student-athlete not obeying, say, rules of conduct and maintaining classroom performance.
    People have excused things like tampering in stating that employees outside of sports have the freewill to be able to move about as they please. But this doesn't apply to people like Troy Aikman or Tony Romo who are under contract at ESPN (Disney, or whatever) and CBS, respectively. Negotiations for their moving occur (or have occurred) close to the end of their current contracts for a period extending from the point of the end of their current or previous. For week-to-week or month-to-month employees at Google or wherever, they are able to move on provided they give sufficient notice, or at least they should give notice, so as to not burn any of their bridges.
    Similarly, though, contracts for college head coaches are not respected, and another school can move in and pay the buyout, if there is one, and do negotiations seemingly undercover, regardless. But it's just as wrong, because it should at least ask the coach's current university employer if it can negotiate with him before it starts. A lateral move in the NFL of HC from one team to another is probably not allowed, because a contract is deemed a contract in the League. But I can understand why it might not be considered enforceable in college because there are various divisions/levels in cfb, so a move might not be considered a lateral one, as well as a buyout being apt compensation (or overstated to prevent negotiations for a move) for the loss of a HC. But at least, a school looking for a new HC should at least have the common decency to obtain permission of the candidate's current employer if it can talk with him.
    The NFL is out in the open with contracts, terms, money, etc, and the NCAA if it's headed toward contracts approaching the NFL's should be fully disclosed. NIL agents and sources should be registered with the NCAA, and as Klatt stated, they should have to take classes to know the guardrails to understand acceptable behavior, and then obviously to hold them accountable. A university can absolve itself from being culpable, but it shouldn't be excused from its sanctioned NIL sources. As far as a player outside of these bounds obtaining NIL, these sources should probably be disclosed also. I don't know if all the SEC is all for players like Bryce Young getting a nice deal with a particular well-known beverage company, but if the other teams' fans don't like it, they don't have to drink Dr. Pepper.

    College student athletes that receive NIL should be held accountable to "PLAY" sports or ""report to work" in order to recieve funds. All of this "opting out" of bowl games is really just them NOT SHOWING UP TO WORK. All of these NIL deals needs to be also based on "PROFORMANCE VALUE" while they are at "work" meaning playing whatever sport it is that they play. The NIL needs to add all scholarships and living expenses while at college into as "value of payment" while the student athlete plays for their sport. Just like you and I we are "under an microscope" at work to preform our best while we are working while produces the best products that we provide..correct.? While if the student athlete doesn't produce " opting out" of playing in games then he/she is the same as not working to produce value for themselves and their team brand.
    All of these college scholarships have to be a major part of the NIL process so when not getting a degree that should affect your NIL deal. Also all NIL deals should have timeframe limits meaning if a player signs an NIL then they are committed for like 2 years without entering the transfer portal. If they break that agreement then NIL deal should be canceled and payback should be adjusted as planned. If this student athletes want to act like real employees out in the real world then they should be held accountable just like real work employees out in the real world..accountability should be one of the most important aspects of NIL deals no matter the dollar amount of that deal.
    This would help to slow down all of these thousands of student athletes entering the transfer portal after each season is over from year to year.
    No wonderful some of these bowl games sux so badly is that all of this "opting out of starting players" has affected how the team preforms on the field. I'll never go to another bowl game again until the bowl games are attached to the new playoffs structure. When we have this new 12 team playoffs then we know at least 14 bowl games are going to mean something special leading up to the National Championship bowl game. So at least the Top 25 teams will now have a stake in the end game every year wanting to play in the playoff bowl games. All of these issues with NIL, opting out, transfer portal, not going to classes, not getting degrees, not caring about scholarships issues would work themselves out when these student athletes made and hold up on their word with "their committments". If not then we are seeing the beginning of the end to college sports as we have known it to be over about a hundred years or more. Damn shame not only for college football but for all college sports.

Perhaps a better way to say it is that you'd see a lot of "exaggerated" injuries. And TBH some of them are probably injured and just saying "opt out to focus on their future" so they don't spook draft scouts with an injury report.

    ----------------------
    I've include only ONE non bowl team in this FINAL list...STANFORD.
    I included them for illustration purpose, that being that they are the ONLY
    team in the nation to face 7 CFP committee top 25 teams solely during the
    course of their regular season schedule (including Five consecutively before mid-October).
    As you can see...to date(I'm not including the NC game), only three teams have passed the
    test of defeating every CFP T25 placed in their path. Here they are:
    (Georgia 6-0, Tulane 2-0, Troy 1-0).
    As you can also see, beating REAL top 25 teams is very difficult.
    Another important observation, Most of the teams avoid playing more than 2 or 3 final T25 teams all year, And when they DO,
    THEY FAIL, and the failure increases the more they have to play late season ranked teams.
    After the NC game Georgia will join the 7's, TCU The 5's.

      I'm sure there's a point here somewhere. I think it's that football is hard.

      @@1980hgf Well it can be read many different ways , perhaps the most significant is that rankings are meaningless until you look at them holistically at the end. The thing that surprises me the most is that most big name teams had at least the opportunity to go at least 3-0 vs final top 25 opponents, yet they all failed except for Georgia....Which in the end is also fairly meaningless because we all saw what 2-1(at the time) Ohio State did.
      My conclusion ultimately is, how the QB plays that day, (and even further how does he perform in each quarter of a game). This seems to be the x factor.

    The collectives own the semi-pro teams . The Universities should get out of minor league football. Let the collectives stick their companies logo on the side of the helmets. This sport is dead and has nothing to do with the schools

    NIL is a joke. Just make NFL minor leagues. College athletes were already getting free education and food. Nothing is ever enough. From the schools to the players… all nonsense.

    Iowa isn’t a premier brand, they are a second tier at best. I’m sorry, let’s face NIL is about a particular athletes worth/value they can bring a brand/company. Women athletics just isn’t going to pull the $ unless they can do other things to help there(athletes own brand worth) by mixing other things with being an athlete at a university. Plus different locations in the country different non Football/Basketball sports are more popular.
