Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

No straw man. Point is that nothing would be moving south with such a development. Institutions in every part of the country have the means to do it. Not just in the south.

Everyone will do it

But everyone spends money in the legal ways now

The south spends more

they will continue to do so

But this spending, should this go forward without modification on a national level, would be directly into the athlete’s pocket

if you still don’t understand, I’ll just put your contrarian ass on Ignore; I was close to doing so already anyway

Give them a free education and some form of health care after they are done playing just like vets get from the DOD

All other inducements are still eligibility killers

Either that or go to full on semi pro football and drop the pretense

This Cali idea is just bad


Easiest solution is just to put a per/year cap.

I understand your bias against SEC and assumption that B1G teams don’t play the game. I disagree. Ignore away.

I have very mixed feelings... but I fear that permitting players to share in named gear could lead to major prima dona problems... caring much more about publicity thus sales than the team... problems on and especially off the field and in the locker... dunno

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs Fair Pay to Play Act

SB 206 will not come into effect until Jan. 1, 2023, but it has already inspired copycat efforts in South Carolina, New York and another coming in Florida, not to mention bipartisan efforts in Washington to guarantee athletes their NLI rights.

The NCAA responded to the news with this statement: “We will consider next steps in California while our members move forward with ongoing efforts to make adjustments to NCAA name, image and likeness rules that are both realistic in modern society and tied to higher education.”



The NCAA has already formed a working group to study this issue, but seems customarily dismayed that the California bill and others like it will push the organization off its preferred timeline. Which is entirely the point.

Yes but it will be more like 100k. Does the law state anything about caps? As long as they can cap it equally across all schools then let them go get paid. Bidding wars will destroy the sport and is why the NFL has a salary cap.

To me the New York bill is the most difficult requiring 15% of ticket sales to go to the players. That will be very different from school to school. Plus the schools athletic budgets for the most part operate in the red. You can’t just look at the OSUs and apply the same rules to Akron. But I guess discussing the Akron’s of the world isn’t splashy enough.

Side thought. You might even see this help the smaller schools. When that 300th ranked receiver on Bamas or OSUs commit list is only able to secure 50k in endorsements but someone from Indiana or Louisiana tech will give them the full 100k it could change some minds. Or the big schools will just find ways to secure all of the players the cap.

You know very well that I made no such assumption. You're just being obtuse and making incredibly stupid, tedious arguments as usual. It's just my turn, that's fine.

Continue being a worthless waste of space.
Ummm, ok. I thought you by you suggesting that power moving south meant that the SEC would be spending money and the B1G would be left behind.

if that was not your point, then I apologize. If that was your point, then I disagree. Strongly.

Anecdotally, I can share that I have an associate who’s son was recently recruited by a certain team north of the Mason Dixon line. People related to that school offered certain “financial opportunities”. He also was recruited by a couple schools in the south (and elsewhere) The “opportunities” offered by said school in the North were larger than those elsewhere.

Gene Smith Against SB 206, But Sees Room for Name, Image, Likeness Possibilities

Prior to Ohio State head coach Ryan Day’s weekly Tuesday media availability, OSU athletic director Gene Smith stopped by to address the growing debate regarding California SB 206 and student-athletes’ rights to name, image, and likeness.

On Monday, California governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that would allow college athletes in California to earn money from their name, image, and likeness. The law is intended to take effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

The law would also prohibit entities like the NCAA from barring players and schools from participating in intercollegiate athletics. The law would also prohibit universities from giving money to players for their names, images, and likenesses.

Other states have begun to follow suit, but this is still in the early stages of implementation on a national scale.

Because of the sheer list of unknowns regarding this topic at the moment, Smith wanted to address it with the media and provide some perspective from an administrator. He shared his concerns, fears, and perspective on the bill and what it could mean to NCAA sports down the road.

Chief among these concerns is the fact that the bill as it stands now has few regulations, which scares Smith because it puts no standards or best practices in place.

The bill does require the athletes to make schools aware of every deal they make, and also prohibits them from signing a deal that would conflict with a contract the school already has in place.

For instance, if Ohio State is still a Nike school in 2023, the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback won’t be able to sign a deal with Adidas.

There is still plenty of time to address these concerns and make them amenable for most, but if this trend goes nationwide without any regulations, Smith said he would have no choice but to call on Ohio State’s half-million alums to do their part and pay it (i.e. the players) forward.

He cited the phone service Cameo as an example. Cameo will have celebrities call you up on the phone and say hi for a price. Smith suggested this would be one example that could get out of hand.

“If we were under the SB 206, I would call upon all 550,000 Buckeye alums across this country. Pull up Cameo. You’re all familiar with Cameo?” he asked. “Let’s say (sports information director) Jerry Emig is my star linebacker and he’s on Cameo. What is it, like $150 or something like that for him to do a shoutout to your best friend? All 550,000 Buckeyes across this country, you need to make sure you hook up with Jerry and do a Cameo and pay him $150. That’s the world we’d be living in.”

Smith’s example is an exaggeration in both price and scope, but the lack of regulation is the larger point. If that kind of free-for-all is combined with different rules for different states, then competitive balance as it was intended is out the window.

Smith said that Ohio State would no longer schedule teams from California under SB 206.

In reality, however, it will never get to that. Allowing players to make some money off of their names, images, and likenesses has been coming for some time.

Out of deference to the committee that he is on, Smith didn’t want to share his feelings on the matter, but acknowledged that if anything happens, it needs to be regulated.

“I’m sorry I can’t talk about the work of the working group,” he said. “I can say that I believe that there’s things that can be done in this space. That can be regulated. But I can’t obviously share with you what those things are.

“What we can’t have is a situation where we have schools and/or states with different rules for an organization that’s going to compete together. It can’t happen. It’s not reality. So if that happens, then what we need is federal help to try and make sure we create rules and regulations for all of our membership that are consistent. And if that doesn’t happen, then we are looking at a whole new model. A whole new model. And that is reality. If there is no federal engagement in this process, at the end of the day it’s a whole new model.”

Would be the easiest job in history at some schools, fucking suicide mission in others

Could you imagine trying that job at Mississippi State? WTF would you do once you hit the 4-5 alumni used car dealerships?

Their 2 star QB's deal: "Jimmy Joe Jimbob Johnson here for Earl's payday loan and bait shop of Starkville."
