A New Type of NIL

[Stickboy46]

New proposal being discussed is giving every player 5 years.

Yep. I say let anyone join the G-league if they want to get paid, otherwise you will get a scholarship and no payment.

Scholarship, room and board, and stipend (with reasonable limit), not payment. As you said, if they think they're worth more, go G-League or overseas. Plenty of options and nobody is holding them back.

If I had my way I think a scholarship and 1K/mo max. One transfer allowed. That's it.

On the bright side, it's been fun to watch other programs finally start paying players according to the new rules while KU has clearly lost its "competitive edge" in that space.

I'd easily trade my high dislike for KU to see these new rules get greatly modified closer to what they were before.

Same thing for SEC football

NIL was supposed to be about high profile "amateur" players "losing out" on revenue their name was generating, to institutions who were happily slurping it up. This implies that there was a huge pot of money somewhere waiting to be collected. The reality is, most athletic departments are either operating in the red, or turning a slight profit. Regardless.. everything, everywhere, is reinvested straight back into the athletic department.

Perhaps there's an image of some old white guy sitting on an Alabama plantation, doing snow angels in piles of ill-gotten money while twisting his mustache. This just isn't so.

Fast-forward to today and the conversation is no longer about players recovering what's "theirs". There never was anything extra. This has just become a massive expense on top of an already massively expensive endeavor. The only way paying players in this manner is sustainable is to remove the biggest expense in the equation, which is the school. That's called the NBA. And these kids aren't NBA players.

Everyone's completely lost sight of the spirit of the original litigation.

I don't know how you are still hanging on. I have pretty much washed my hands of it all. I used to watch college basketball EVERY DAY there was at least 1 game on.

Now I haven't been watching any but the Shocks. And tomorrow I will be watching NFL (GO TEXANS). I will follow our game through the ESPN app box score. And I honestly don't care if we win or lose at this point. This is the lowest point I have been as a fan (of both the Shocks and college basketball in general) and yes I did endure the 90's.

We knew before all this that the powers that be were changing the NCAA to its ruination, I just didn’t know how complete a job they were doing and how fast it would come. The product now is totally trash. Between the portal, the phony NIL which is not NIL but pay to play, and the 30 second clock, college bball is just a hero ball fest. Unwatchable. But the P5 is so arrogant that they think the fans of the other 200 schools just want to watch them anyway. Unsustainable!

Jay Bilas should be the face of the crash of college sports.

Rick Barnes benched his leading scorer 11 seconds into the second half. A play was set up for Chaz Lanier to take a shot. He didn't take the shot, soBarnes benched him. When asked why Barnes sesponded, "He is getting paid too much money through NIL not to do what he is getting paid to do."

Pay to play is alive and well.

The funny thing is, a coach really shouldn't have any idea how much "NIL" a player is getting. The fact that he does, means it's not NIL at all, but a professional salary. And yes, I know we're all aware that the term "NIL" is a farse. If you're going to get paid like a pro, you best play like a pro.

It should now be called "NILTA", with a T for talent and A for ability.

Or maybe "TANIL", since NIL is the less significant portion.

Transfer portal got you down? One college AD suggests an 'acquisition fee' could fix some problems

"NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The athletic director at a mid-sized school that's making a splash this season has a modest proposal for taming what many say is a transfer-portal system run amok in college sports. Sean Frazier, the AD at Northern Illinois — remember, the team that beat national finalist Notre Dame earlier this season — is talking about a “talent acquisition fee." When schools sign players from other teams, they would pay those teams a fee in exchange for the player. It's not that different from the way transactions go down with what are known as “transfer fees” in European soccer...."
