NIL Repercussions

I’m sorry if this has been posted anywhere else or if recruiting isn’t the right place to post. But with NIL happening, and states such as California from banning government sponsored travel to the following states, this should kill Recruiting for California schools right?

Texas, Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas, North Dakota, West Virginia and Arkansas have all been banned from state sponsored travel bans.

This means California schools wouldn’t be able to have home/homes with Texas, Texas A&M, the Iowa schools, Oklahoma or OK State, Tennessee, UK, UNC, Ole Miss and Miss St, WVU, UF, Miami, FSU and Arkansas as they couldn’t travel to these school. I know there are more but wasn’t worth listing all schools and I listed all SEC cause it just means more to them.

Kids that go to these schools have very limited national exposure for the late star times and the fact they can’t travel to promote their athletes for many of the top programs in the country. Maybe it’s already happening, but coaches in CA should be pissed about these rules for their govt employees
 
My fear has nothing to do from a college perspective. My fear is the continued rise of parents who have nothing else better to do than believe that their son or daughter will be the next superstar D1 athlete, therefor, what we have seen with “the scholarships” driving parents to overuse kids will only be enhanced.

Sports, the lessons that come from them, will continue to be in decline. Just my two cents…

Repercussions I'd think would more so involve teenagers having a ton of money and being teenagers. Kids getting themselves mixed up with the wrong people, then being involved with criminal activity (IE laundering/bribery), throwing games and on...

My only concern would be the influence these brands would have over the kids. Not every school is going to have an NIL set up like OSU.

Maybe this is me being an OSU fan but the kids constantly talk about OSU being genuine. I just wouldn't trust schools in the SEC particularly to give these kids the proper infrastructure to help them be successful.

In the time of who can generate the most likes and who can appear to be living the most luxurious... we will start seeing some crazy crap going forward regardless.

Mind you I'm not saying this will happen but that those would be my fears of what could go wrong.

I don’t think the state gov’t ban extends to University employees. I believe it’s direct State gov’t jobs where the employee is DIRECTLY paid by the state gov’t.

While state universities fall under the umbrella as an employee of state, the universities cut the checks and therefore are not held to same standard…..unless I’m misinterpreting the law.

What was the point of this? To tell kids if you come to UT this is what you’ll drive, but you’ll still struggle to make a bowl game. And oh yeah, when you’re riding your Hellcat or Lambo off campus, in another year you may struggle even more to make a bowl game…

I also find it pretty ridiculous even after adapting to NIL (or at least in my mind). UT and all these glossy NIL schools can do what they want, but the early results seem to be that it attracts the wrong recruits. Verdict is still out on that but I would be really embarrassed if OSU did something like this. And to your point, if you get a commitment pulling stunts like this, get ready for negative results on the field while kids are off doing crazy stuff in their hellcats and lambos.

To be clear, I am not against NIL in general but this just seems like a really bad use of it. If I had a kid on a visit and this happened, I would use my best efforts to dissuade my kid from going to that school.

I would use it as a learning tool for my kid. Ask him “why do you think adults are throwing that kind of stuff at you kids? Because they want to or because they have to?”

Then I’d give my standard reminder of life’s full proof method of keeping score of bad decisions and let him do what he thinks is smart.

I find it immensely amusing how obvious it is that the NIL (or whatever kind of) payment is linked to the player “shutting down their recruitment 100%.”







Gee, I wonder how they managed to pull that off.
