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

The house settlement was supposed to be an effective 20.5M cap with a clearinghouse making sure that any player NIL money going above that cap was for legitimate sponsorship payments. If NIL payments didn’t make it past the clearinghouse as legitimate then that payment went against the cap.

As I recall someone threatened to sue and they stopped enforcing it. Which is strange because it wasn’t an NCAA rule, it was a legal settlement approved by a judge.

Thats why im so glad Day never got in the practice of paying HSers so much. And rewarded returning players more than the hotshot 4 or 5star. Buying rosters every year doesnt equate to on field success.

Good interpretation and explanation of NIL



Please throw this in the MLB or Reds forum.

As it pertains to CFB...this is why I get stuck when I hear smaller teams can out spend a team with a fanbase and franchise value like OSU.

I know Billionaire fanboy and all that but it shouldn't be able to happen if you run it like a pro sports business.

1.TV/media rights

2) Development projects around the stadium
3) Ticket sales and concessions
4) merchandise

We don't get a disproportionate slice of the BTN money (iirc) but it's a huge slug of money that the billionaire fanboys should have to overcome with money they have to spend out of their own pocket. The ROI of that (tax loss write off aside) should have to start showing up.

The difference is we can’t spend our money over the $20M cap. We have to spend donations beyond that. So it’s less about franchise value/ media rights/ merch sales/ fan base and more about big dollar donors, particularly billionaires.

Even when you dig into billionaires guys like Phil knight ($35B) could drop $40-50M a year and it’s pocket change. Mark cuban at $6B has more of a limit where $20-30M might be hard to sustain. Matt Campbell at TTech is probably in the 5-10B range. Even if we were to get a guy like LeBron at $1.5B $20M a year would be a lot. Not bad if it were a 1 time donation, but the schools need that money every year and that’s a lot to ask. Particularly when most of their assets likely aren’t liquid.
