Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[dragurd]

So the whole you better not try to put a global NIL policy forth is what they are threatening it sounds like

Interesting. I always figured the Ed O'Bannon decision paved the way.

So, then, anti-trust law? Like the NCAA?

Interesting. I always figured the Ed O'Bannon decision paved the way.

It did. O’Bannon v NCAA stopped the NCAA from profiting off the NIL of current and former athletes. NCAA v Alston established that athletes are allowed to profit off the NIL of themselves; that making money off ones own popularity does not affect amateurism status or make a person a professional.

The case was a direct extension of the decision of the first, but they addressed two different issues. Alston essentially tested Jeremy Bloom’s arguments from 2005/06, with the precedent of O’Bannon giving it firmer legal standing to go forward than Bloom had previously.

I don't think the alliance put in language regarding who could schedule whom - or is it whom/who? Anyway, the agreement was to increase scheduling between the members, not to be exclusively within the alliance as I heard it.

Yea, no one said we weren't gonna play the sec anymore.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Just people trying to tear it down.

 

[buchtelgrad04]

Do they think these games are scheduled in a day or so?

To McMurphy and ESECPN (not to you Woof)

The real enemy of the Alliance is the Big XII. They are seriously pissed, simultaneously with ridiculing the Alliance.

Now, I'm not necessarily saying that the ridiculing is misplaced ...

The Big XII is irrelevant at this point...

The alliance isn't about scheduling, nil, or anything else. The alliance is 3 conferences signaling that they have a voting bloc. That's it. There's nothing else to see here.

Well they made a big deal about scheduling in the announcement. But yeah other than a lose agreement to schedule each other in the future. It's real purpose is to not let the SEC dictate terms about the playoff. The nature of athletics etc

Tuesday: Alliance publicly announced
Wednesday: Immediate legal warning from the Alston attorneys

This is an easy fix… stand up a shell organization that strikes NIL deals for players in the ‘alliance’ conferences buying medial across the states participating in the Conference of Northern Aggression. That way there is no ‘alliance’ per se… and schools outside of the footprint would have minimal gain were they to be represented.

Fuck the SEC, fuck what remains of the B12, fuck the schools from the B12 that want in the B1G and Fuck ESPN.

Can we get a Sherman and Grant images added to the smilies tab? Thanks in advance.

I really like this post

I mean, sure, I agree with it and all

But the main reason is, after seeing the word “loose” typed when someone meant “lose” exactly 735,243 times on this board, I have now finally seen someone type “lose” when they meant “loose”.
