As I mentioned in another thread, I've been away from this board for a couple months. As such, I wasn't sure where the discussion of the House Settlement was taking place here. A search right now showed me that this was the correct thread for that discussion. So first off, I apologize for messing up the other threads with this information.

Because I had some previous work experience with antitrust law and lawyers, I was confused by the sports media's reporting on the House Settlement. That resulted in me engaging into a relatively deep dive into the legal aspects of the House Settlement. As I mentioned in the other thread, I think that the OSU decision to play strictly by the rules of the House Settlement is being made above Bjork and Day. (I.e. The Board and Ted Carter) They are making this decision to retain unique nature of the college sports experience (which is what we love about the sport) and by doing so allowing it to retain it's value. After all how much will the TV networks be willing to pay if college football is perceived only as minor league for the NFL. (How many AAA baseball games are televised nationally.)

Is it the right decision? I don't know and it certainly a risk. However, there are legal reasons to believe that is a risk that will pay off.

The problem is that certain schools, including not surprisingly TCUN, has decided to try to push beyond the House Settlement limits.

Appreciate the insight. I find it funny that so many fans were so willing to throw Bjork under the bus(and still are) because they need a boogeyman to blame. I think many of us are waiting for the other shoe to drop when it comes to the settlement because it seems like the "wild west" of NIL won't ever stop, and how high will bidding go, when they are a handful of programs who are willing to spend without a care just for bragging rights.

Btw you didn't mess up any threads, you actually had pertinent information regarding a recruit who essentially won by a big NIL deal
