    Neither the commission nor the Deloitte clearing house are part of the NCAA. They're seperate entities.

    I don’t think Carson Beck making $4m is what they’re worried about. I would hope their main objective is that when a player is told they’ll get $X, that they receive $X.

    I think this is partially true. I think they're also going to try to curb inducements but lol at having any luck with that.

    The “approved range of compensation” will be very funny to see how genuine or disingenuous this whole thing is. Regardless the pushback will die at the arbiters who won’t be able to argue what a player is worth.

    y'all are looking at this deloitte thing backwards. The schools and mega donors now have a built in third party to blame for a de-facto "salary cap".

    "sorry 5 star qb, the max we can give you is 250k" saves all the big schools a fortune and makes cheating about bags of cash and dodgy challenger leases instead of multiple millions.

    Based on what I know we did zero due dilligence on the supposed Jaden Rashada "contract" (yes I know it sounds stupid but reality), clearly will be a favorite example for the schools when dealing with arbiters.

    It’s remarkable they (some) think that this commission is capable of policing tens of thousands of NIL contracts.

    I don't get it. But maybe they can standardize the terms/templates so the contracts are universal (ie, $x/year)?

    The biggest issue for the sport is the constant player movement that is what needs addressed. The portal kinda tears at the fabric of what made people love cfb, makes following recruiting significantly harder, etc. This isn’t to blame players, makes business sense for them to do so. More so to say it is solved by collective bargaining and contracts (employees). This is just another attempt to try and have their cake and eat it too from cfb admins that will get blown up again. Putting a salary cap in place isn’t a terrible idea, doing so with no contract structure, one fee for all sports combined, and no collective bargaining is a complete idiotic disastrous move

    Collective bargaining seems like the only way to fix this. But also - how are college kids, who are only there for 1-4 years gonna come together ?

    Just feels like an unsolvable problem.

    need players to sign either 1 or 3 year deals

    but we can't get that until universities deem them employees and we have a CBA. until then it's gonna be continued chaos

    That and the value of a P4 player is drastically different than G5. There has to be different sets of rules for that, then if you dig into even at the P4 level, the variance from the top to the bottom is still gigantic. Finances from OSU/Texas to Wake aren’t even the same sport either. Hard to collectively bargain even with that split of value in player.

    It’s difficult to imagine a lot of states allowing collective bargaining if the players are university employees.

    Sounds like a bunch of schools are planning on adopting the usc model now, basically pay kids for their commitment and keeping it. Gets around the clearinghouse because they are not yet college athletes.

    Anyone with half a brain knows the Transfer Portal is actually the bigger problem than NIL is in college sports right now.

    But the government can’t tax that, so of course they won’t care.

    TV partners will put constraints on it being anything significant

    and NIL backers that brought about the punishment will just foot the bill for the financial penalties

    This just seems like an awful idea.I somewhat get it for a big 12 and acc school because in that situation in theory your mortgaging some of your future for an immediate cash infusion to set your program up to be attractive in the next round of realignment. Psu is already at the mountain top.

    It does, no clue the structure of the deal, though. We aren’t hurting for AD money but a 700 mill stadium renovation might need an infusion

    We fundraised I think 130 mill of the 700 already. To be clear, I don’t think anyone on our side knows what the scope of the deal is, but it would make sense if we are approaching PE for our 700 mill stadium renovation that is going to have more revenue streams via suites & premium seating options we didn’t have before.
