During prohibition it wasn’t all that difficult to find an underground spot selling alcohol. Then alcohol became legal again.

The behavior never changed in spite of the rules changing.

No different than kids getting paid under the table when it was “illegal”.

A difference, though, is that the kids are costing 10X as much or maybe 100X as much. You can't just be a bag man that owns a little trucking company somewhere. You need to be willing to throw away 100 million dollars on something that's pretty stupid. I can't predict anything, but I do see what bidding wars have done to coaching. I could not have predicted the trend to fully guaranteed coaching contracts.

Yep, and the price of liquor licenses increased significantly after prohibition.

I expect the bidding wars to cool down over time. The return on investment for paying a HS senior $7M to come to your school is minimal.

Until then…buckle up.

Well we are no longer telling adults they cant profit from their Name Image or Likeness. It can also help convince guys who may have gone pro but at a lower draft ranking stick around because they have at least some money.

And it makes recruiting side of things out in the open instead of being behind closed doors. All the same money was going to these guys, now we all see it.

I think the only issue is pairing NIL with the transfer portal. And that's only an issue because the NCAA fought both until the bitter end and never even attempted to adapt and get ahead of the problems.

Can’t be promising for fans looking for some sense of control they never had.

I’m all for these kids having more control and leverage.

Everyone around them, collectively making billions of dollars off of them, have had it for decades.

Ain't that the truth and good for them finally having leverage. Makes me wonder just how "charitable" some of the fans on here are in their own life/work decisions that they deem it ok to judge these young athletes by a different standard.

The problem becomes when a kid signs with School A premised on a certain dollar amount of NIL, and then rival school B reaches out to the kid or his agent and offers him 20 % more. Then the kid (or his agent) goes back to A and says I'm not signing/staying unless you beat B.

No stability at all one year to the next, just annual free agency.

Now that the barn door is completely off the hinges, the NCAA is apparently trying to limit multiple transfers a little bit.

NCAA Council votes to limit eligibility for second-time transfers to curb ballooning portal usage

the interesting part is the school should not be involved in this. This appears to be a problem between the player and NIL providers. The school is not suppose to be involved in this. Yes I understand there is no enforcement of this but it is interesting and going to open a can of worm when it becomes very public that the school is involved.

Do kids with this much drama and indecisiveness ever work out? I can’t recall many who did.

Bryce Brown's and Tate Martell's sure didn't. Walter Nolen is still in a wait and see mode, although I guess it is debatable if his recruitment itself was a clown show. His playing at a different high school every year thing was weird, but his commitment itself I guess was fairly straightforward.

Kids are still mostly gonna go where they believe they fit best. There will be kids like Rashada who chase the dollar, but most elite prospects will pick the school who fits best AND offers a good NIL deal. If Tennessee weren't doing what we are offensively, Nico doesn't even glance out way, regardless of NIL money. You still have to sell your program first and NIL second.

...and UF is currently a mess, so it's attracting kids who are in it mostly for the bag right now.

IMO it's fine for NIL to be a reason, or maybe even the biggest reason, why a kid commits to your school. If it's the only reason they've committed to your school, then it is probably a problem.

I'm not saying that every single top recruit will engage in this tactic. But I think it evident already that some absolutely will.

If this report is true, FL probably came to its senses after way over offering this kid. $13M?!?!?

Thirteen Million Dollars?

Report reveals the amount a 5-star recruit was going to be paid to sign with Florida
