With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?

College sports will likely go through more changes in the next five years than in the last decades. NCAA could have been at the forefront of the new world of college sports but they may be left behind

So essentially, the university pays direct now in a revenue share, any NIL deal over $600 has to be approved by an NIL clearinghouse run by Deloitte.

Result = the bagman returns

I'm not holding my breath about the clearinghouse withstanding the judicial review and counter suits.

If anything it will add some level of transparency. Which could be good on both sides. Because things have to be cleared they have to be more on the up and up and maybe less stories like the kids that sign and then don't get paid what they expect. It will also slow down the jumping ship maybe? The one negative is its gonna hurt small to mid-level schools that cant fully fund the max revenue sharing. To most P4 schools that amount is nothing.

Transparency? sure, some. But when the clearinghouse says that a deal is worth 100k in addition to the 200k guarantee from the school and that recruit wants another $100k or he plays for another school, you can be sure bags of money will flow his way. They are going to get around that cap. But since it will put it back in the dark a bit, it will lessen the amounts again.

This is at the edges for top 4 and 5* recruits. Im sure the new system will work fine for the bulk of recruits.

The major football colleges (40-50 schools) will retain some licensing, while the programs are sold out to professional teams. The lower tier schools will remain as they are, and I think NIL will even itself out there. How marketable will players be from Rice, New Mexico, etc? The free education will once again become paramount in those level schools.
All of this is in my humble, simpleton opinion. Everyone can slay away with rebuttals of Supreme Court precedents and verses from Leviticus, which proclaim the contrary

Deloitte and the NCAA will be sued before this goes into effect and an injunction will be put in place.

Sitting on his back patio in DC waiting on Paperwrk to be filed a smug Justice Kavanaugh says hold my Beer, I will be right back.

College football’s more professionalized era arrives in July, and historic powerhouses like Ohio State and Texas could lose both their inherent recruiting advantage and their financial edge.

However, in an effort to limit booster involvement, the settlement orders all third-party deals of $600 or more from school-affiliated boosters, or collections of them, to gain approval from a new NIL clearinghouse.

The clearinghouse, operated by Deloitte, is charged with verifying the authenticity of these deals using “fair market value” rates, poised to eliminate phony booster-backed compensation agreements so prevalent in the industry over the previous three years.

Sounds like they're trying to restrict a player's ability to profit from their NIL. My guess is they lose the first time they get sued if they try this.

There is not going to be an end to NIL.

NCAA actually playing this totally wrong. Instead of NCAA trying to act holier than thou and regulating with things that won’t pass the court test.

they need to say pay for play is allowed without any limit but must be done by enforceable contract. If a player is under contract with a school he is not eligible at another school until his contract is full filled. If a player fails to full fill his contract he is not eligible to play anywhere else until released. Schools can then chose length of contract and must pay whatever contract says Even if they decide to let player go.

Then schools can offer a player a contract for 1m for 1 year or 3m for 2.
