NIL - Texas style

I just think with NIL it's at a new level more then ever before
And guess what? So what. Let’s cap NIL? Then let’s cap coaches salaries. Then let’s cap TV revenue. Let’s cap ticket prices and let’s cap PSL’s.
 
The problem is not that people have the impression that six figure NIL deals are normal. It's the reality that there are six figure NIL deals out there, and they will distort the recruiting balance, because the majority of schools will not have that kind of booster clout. The problem is simply becoming that there is no longer even a facade of parity in recruiting because of it.

As we all know, there hasn't been parity since.... I don't remember when there was, and I've been around the game, and seen what's happening, for over 60 years. It's just that now, with NIL being acceptable, those institutions that had boosters playing the game under the table can now do it above the table, and they'll be more than happy to spend even more, because they will find ways to make it tax deductible. The majority of schools? A kid might get a free pizza every other Monday, 3 topping maximum.

They will find a handle on this eventually. It might mean that the Power 5 goes their own way, and the rest of the lot work within certain guidelines, that establish parity. It might also be that the Power 5 realizes that their well will eventually run dry, and they will join the rest, and sort of push for the student athletes to end up as sort of a "consortium," or union, if you will, where the money from NIL is spread across the board, for the entire spectrum of institutions. Who knows? It's all a question of how much greed will play into the picture on an almost daily basis.

But, I'd say for close to a decade, this thing will be with us as a major distraction, and pointed at as the reason some teams are winners, and others become perpetual losers. It's probably going to be closer to the truth than we'd like to admit.
I guess I see it in a different way. The conversations I have had with NIL agencies and others, sure there are some $100k deals out there but not to the extent it’s being speculated. A lot of oblivion and chest pumping. Guys like Ruiz and Hathcock are doing things the right way.

It won’t take a decade. The TV contract with the CFP ends in 3 years and that opens the door for a P5 split….in football. Basketball has its own issues and that’s part of what I find both interesting and comical. Since P5 does not exist in basketball how to manage that split will be entertaining to watch.

Once it splits , not if but when, the instructions will have more power than the NCAA currently has. How the NCAA is structured after the split is anyones guess. It will exist but what form who knows
 
So please tell me how schools like Wisconsin and North Carolina and Mississippi become relevant and at the Alabama level?
They never will be that's why UW fans will always be happy with a Rose Bowl birth
 
When Jimbo learns how to win big games as a HC then let’s see. He wore out his welcome in Tallahassee on multiple levels
Yep with big name recuirts big time results will be expected
 
And guess what? So what. Let’s cap NIL? Then let’s cap coaches salaries. Then let’s cap TV revenue. Let’s cap ticket prices and let’s cap PSL’s.
I do think NIL should be capped Kids out of HS don't need a 7 figure NIL deal

Once it splits will anything change? No Still have the elite on top the everyone below

And why will it never happen. You mention the fans but 75% of fans don’t contribute to the university. But they are the ones with unreasonable expectations?? Pot meet kettle

From a sports attorney…

“You don’t have to be a leftist to recognize the absurdity of the NCAA rules that limit college athlete compensation. Any true free-market capitalist looks at the NCAA system and sees 1200 competitors collectively restraining trade and interfering with free labor markets.”
