Supreme Court unanimously rejects NCAA argument removing restrictions for "education related" comp

DD
Your history teacher has an interesting point.
And applying his theory to NIL/ colleges makes some sense.
It will be interesting for sure.
 
Gym owner offers to pay every Miami scholarship football player $500/month simply for advertising their gym on social media. This is ******* nuts.

"I want to help the kids," Lambert told ESPN. "I want to reward them for what they do, and I want a better product on the field, too. I want to improve the reputation of the school and the team I love so much. I think it's a cool opportunity to get involved and make a difference."

The hardcore Hurricanes fan and owner of American Top Team said it was the largest deal his business has ever made but has already stated that he's not sure he'll offer players the same deal in the future. Instead, he has a different plan.

He has started the corporation Bring Back The U in an effort to continue to help pay Miami football players. His attorney, Darren Heitner, was hired to make sure Lambert is not violating any laws as he continues his efforts to support the team financially.

Sounds to me as if whoever Mr. Jones is for Texas better start acting like Mr. Jones. Money is all that matters. There are some who grew up with orange blood, but this is about money above the table and we don't have to pretend we're better than SEC schools anymore. We can match them without recourse.

Can't we?

It's an arms race. No longer will facilities be the determining factor in getting a recruits commitment but rather how much $$ can a school funnel directly into the pockets of star players. Wealthy alumni that want to be close to the program can now forgo even engaging with the Athletic Department.

How long until HS athletes start clamoring for endorsements?

The legal landscape will once for all show how serious the University is about football. It is important, but it has been a question in my mind if the school is really willing to do whatever it takes to be a perennial top 5 program. Before there was the issue of ethics that was a legitimate reason not to do "whatever". But now that cover has been removed. Will Texas out compete these others schools or not?

So far, I would say not so much.

They are adults. They will want the freedoms that adult enjoy. If you're a superstar, then you get paid. It's that simple.

Based upon the recruiting, I'd say Texas was not fully amped up for this. If they have the money and the branding, then they should have a line of great players outside their door.

I’m sure they already are. What would prevent them?

Oh, I would disagree 100%. Too much $ involved not to win this race, and we are the biggest dog among Universities when it comes to current revenues.

Let the games begin. Embrace the horror.

I have learned over my days as a fan to believe it when I see it. I simply don't believe projections at this point. UT is losing ground already. They can make that up, but I don't see evidence.

If there is one thing those (our?) bastardis like, it's money. They have teams of people calling for donations. Helps them build their little empire of liberal horse shite.

18yr olds are adults. Are they really? Yes, you can be drafted off to war but you can't legally drink. You can't rent a car. In fact, most hotels won't rent a hotel room to an 18yr old. Why? Because actuarially 18yr olds make very bad decisions. Decisions that private companies are willing to accept the risk.

It's going to take a very grounded superstar to get the payday and still perform. I'm going to wager those 5* recruits just became even riskier. Damn near need a psych evaluation for those kids to see if they can manage getting paid AND keep their motivation/work ethic. Be prepared to see LOTS of those kids flame out in grand fashion the enter the transfer portal as "broken" recruits hoping to reestablish themselves elsewhere.
 
If last year didn't kill college football for me, this will. And I was as big a fan / supporter as you'd find, for a very long time.

As for BMDs, yes some will embrace this. But most will tire of what's about to take place. Ten Years from now CFB will be a joke, tv ratings wise. The turn off factor will be serious on every level

I hope you're wrong, but fear you're correct. This is going to turn into something like the USFL.

Or Texas will take advantage of this opportunity to put its (supposedly) huge resources to use to build an elite football program. Players receiving money while in college will mean more will stay in college a year or two longer.

There are now "legal" ways of paying players. This Texas' chance to compete with LSU, OSU, and Alabama for elite talent while not compromising ethics.

I'm going to feel so far removed from a program (and sport) that's solely about money, that I really won't care. I always felt I was a part of something, even as a school kid. It was something I could relate to as an individual. This, I can't remotely relate to on any level.

As much as UT football has meant to me prior to 2020, it's left my soul for the most part. To see photo after photo of Sam raising his horns with no one around him doing the same, it shut me out. Why should I support kids that don't respect the same traditions of The University that I do? I'm out
 
Interesting. Just cut out the middle man, and directly hire / pay / bribe your players yourself.

I'm not sure. I'd think the first hurdle would be NCAA rules, if any on endorsements, and if their rules prohibit the schools themselves from paying. Second would be state laws, and if it's allowed in that state for a state run institution like Texas from paying players.
