Those don’t have anything to do with NIL though, right? Those players aren’t getting money for those billboards.
So that second tweet....the law just gives schools the option to hold and distribute? And UGA is saying fuck that Football keeps their money and gets it now? NCAA loves to make shit fair, but this is such a massive disadvantage for schools and shitty states that are going to block it. All else held equal, Imma go get paid.
What shitty states are doing that? We have Oregon and California, and Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama all in. Seems like the spectrum from good states to shitty states is well covered here.
How is that advertising NIL? Schools have always promoted their players/sports on social media. Edit: didn't realize Advantage was that specific program to elevate their likeness
I look forward to this opportunity of boosters "legally" being able to funnel money to players. I'm going to assume Auburn will do an extremely poor job of this
Good for Alabama. It’s nice to see the little guy who needs all the help it can get to level the playing field get some love.
So are there any guardrails on these "endorsements" Can every Auburn player get endorsed by YellaWood & Bama players promote Byrant Bank and just directly pay these kids? "Oh, 5* QB yeah, well Tuscaloosa Dodge is looking for a new sponsor and you'll get a free loaner Charger." Am I wrong that teams aren't going to abuse the fuck out of this?
The NCAA will get a decision from the US Supreme Court in mid-June and have two weeks to issue a rule before this becomes a 50 state free for all of different rules.
nd will definitely pay the players for ad, that was made very clear by the university after the ad that used cj prosise it was a Samsung commercial
I'm not sure ND would be able to pay current players for it. That would still seem to be an extra benefit if players were actually being paid by the school. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, though.
The NCAA still runs every other sport championship except football. As long as they own March Madness, no one is telling them to fuck off. Monetarily, they can’t. The conferences have always set their own agenda in football, loosely using the NCAA to enforce rules against each other. The NCAA has not had monetary power over conferences in football since it lost the right to dictate TV contracts in 1984.
No joke. Wish we could ever be in bed with our state politicians like that. And we’re a block down the damn road from them
I plan to get a bunch of UCF OL dudes to put out some great popsicle related content this summer. Then when they have 5 false starts in a row again I can sever ties.
i don’t know the details but they took a clip of him during a nd game and swarbrick used it as an example and said. « We made sure cj was compensated for the ad » so maybe they just negotiated a deal so he could get some money even though he was not in school anymore.
Didn't know that. Is your staff raising hell? Seems like you've gotta get this ball rolling to recruit with Bama/Georgia/Ohio State
