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

Per 11w poster:
Arkansas and involved with one of their collectives. The O-Lineman that were already on roster at UA, last year received $5000 each as part of their NIL and anything they got on there own above that. The QB, KJ Jefferson drives into the players lot one day in a nice red Ferrari and yapping about it. Didn't do anything nice for his big boys up front like take them to dinner or anything, you know like CJ did when he was here. Well he got sacked and chased by opposing defenses a lot since the guys up front basically said, fuck him. He hit the portal after the season after a chat with the coaches, now at UCF I think playing for Gus Malzan.

A scenario that is easily believable in the current climate. And I could see it fracturing many programs if they don't have solid leadership

Absolutely. But it's probably nothing new, when including the NFL. I remember hearing stories when I was a kid when some running back would buy all his lineman a steak dinner when he got 100+ yards, or something. Or, who was the quarterback for some gloves? "Take care of those who take care of you?" I think the commercials implied that he bought his linemen the gloves. Maybe it's new to college players, though.

But if I were coach and I suspected my linemen were taking plays off because my quarterback was a douche, I'll have to look for some creative punishments.

What’s crazy is that the NCAA could’ve implemented NIL decades ago and also build rules and guidelines But chose to keep up the student-athlete charade. I’m actually surprised that NIL hasn’t been worse. The actual numbers I’ve heard are not all that crazy, and the collectives are now expecting a return and also aren’t tolerating knuckleheads if they’re providing them with a paycheck.

My fault, back to Trey

Re: Georgia quarterback Jaden Rashada has sued Florida coach Billy Napier and others over a $13.85 million NIL deal gone bad.

Just sayin': Some NIL deals are just crazy and there are probably more "crazy" NIL deals out there than we actually hear about. But yeah, most of the athletes are getting what would undoubtedly be considered a reasonable/fair/competitive NIL deal. I'm guessing that (probably) 90% of the NIL money is going to just 10% (or less) of the athletes.

Attorney: NCAA antitrust lawsuits settlement to be filed Friday​

The full settlement agreement of antitrust lawsuits involving the NCAA and college sports' wealthiest conferences is expected to be filed with a federal court by the end of the week, an attorney for the defendants told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

"I expect that we will file Friday," said Steve Berman, the Seattle-based attorney of the Hagens Berman law firm.

The NCAA, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference, agreed May 23 to the framework of a $2.77 billion settlement of multiple antitrust lawsuits that were challenging limits on college athlete compensation.

In addition to the damages the NCAA will pay out to eligible former and current college athletes from the case known as House v. NCAA, the association and conferences have agreed to a plan to allow schools to share revenue generated by athletics with athletes. Schools will be permitted to divert about $22 million to their athletes starting in 2025, a number that is expected to rise as athletic revenues rise for power conference schools.

NCAA Formally Files Settlement Documents That Outline Plans for Paying Athletes

Documents filed Friday to settle lawsuits against the NCAA include plans to pay former athletes, share revenue with current athletes and create an enforcement mechanism around NIL.

NCAA Formally Files Settlement Documents That Outline Plans for Paying Athletes​

The NCAA and the power conferences have formally filed settlement documents that outline their plans for paying former and current athletes.

The NCAA and the five conferences with autonomous decision-making power (ACC, Big Ten Conference, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) announced Friday that they filed documents with the Northern District Court of California to settle three class-action lawsuits against the NCAA – House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA – and create a model that will pay damages to former athletes and share revenue with current athletes.

As previously announced by NCAA president Charlie Baker, the settlement will pay $2.78 billion to former athletes over the next 10 years. According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, 83% of the back pay is expected to go to an estimated 19,000 football and men’s basketball players, most of them from power conferences, for an average of $120,000 over the next 10 years.



The settlement also creates a model in which schools will be allowed to share revenue with their athletes. The revenue-sharing cap will be set at 22% of the average media, ticket and revenues for power-conference schools, a number that is expected to start at approximately $22 million. Per Dellenger’s report, the revenue-sharing will increase by 4% for each of the following two years, while the cap will be recalculated at 22% of revenues every three years.



Though most of the back pay will go to football and men’s basketball players, it remains uncertain whether Title IX will mandate that schools share an equal amount of future revenue with female athletes as male athletes.

The settlement also eliminates scholarship limits for all sports while establishing new roster limits. College football teams will now be limited to 105 players on their rosters, but will be able to give all of them scholarships; men’s and women’s basketball roster sizes will remain at 15 players, but there will no longer be a limit of 13 scholarships for men’s basketball. Schools will have the discretion across all sports to offer both full and partial scholarships.

Just sayin': The new scholarship limits are interesting too. It looks like the football teams are capped at 105 players and all of them can be on scholarships. That might eliminate walk-ons.

I couldn't tell you anything about Pitbull, the dude. But I wouldn't mind taking half of what he's paying FIU to name my house "Pitbull house". A quarter?

Part of the agreement is:

1). He gets to sell Pitbull branded Vodka at the stadium.

2). He is going to perform once a year for a South Florida concert

3). HE GETS TO WRITE THE FIGHT SONG!

Given the numbers of projected scholarships (assume full rides), how many universities does one expect to fold their tents? 105 for football harkens back to the Darryl Royal days at Texas, with their own dormatory, etc. Can see more than several schools canceling football, and the 105 scholarships (plus bunch of other men's schollies), and the requisite number of women's just to make ends meet. This, my friends, is another huge can of worms.
