You're not necessarily capping the players. You're capping the school specific NIL fund. Players would still have authority to make as much money as they can from other venues and NIL deals with local/national businesses.

The Sherman Act argument that is being made is that schools can’t agree with each other (via a governing body like the NCAA) to limit the compensation that they are allowed to pay to athletes.

I personally don’t think the Sherman Act was intended to criminalize all amateur athletics, but if that’s how the Sherman Act is interpreted, I don’t think it matters whether the compensation paid by the school is capped at $0 or $1,000,000,000 — either way, it would be an illegal cap (on this theory).

Capping NIL would go straight back to the Supreme Court and be overturned quite quickly as an impediment to free market.

If you want caps, would really need to establish players union, contracts with NCAA and a salary cap where the players become employees of the NCAA. Really really complicated, but I see no real way to limit or cap any NIL. Could you imaging Michael Jordan having a limit to his endorsements?

To your Jordan point, no professional sport that I am aware of has an NIL cap.

So I’m assuming it’s a lot like the Staes/Dingle situation?

I don't think so. At least, IMO, you need minimum 2 of these 3 with Reed-Adams as the guy who can (and importantly, is willing to) play OG. But you just need to stack OL talent and Heard has 3 years to play (and can't go to the draft until he's played 2 more) while Reed-Adams and Pounds have 2 to play should they want them.

Landing and paying for them now gives you a massive head start on replacing all of Campbell/Mays/Sprags for 2025.

Pounds and Heard aren’t transferring to a school to play Guard or not have a guaranteed starting spot. That’s why I think it’s the first to commit between the two with Reed-Adams being the guard we take.

Getting 2 of these 3 would be big not only for next year, but also for the time Nico will be here.

Getting all three along with this and next year's O-line recruiting classes and that's the way UT gets to the playoffs and potentially even further.

We need a solid 2 deep in the trenches with very little drop off. We have it on the Dline but not the Oline. Once we have it on both sides annually, then we will be a legit playoff team year in and year out.

Lane wont allow it to do that. Again, he is a really good X's and O's coach. He has shown that time and again. Granted he has really benefited from a pretty easy schedule, and low expectations.

I think they'll win 10 games, again. But anyone expecting a SECC is ****ing nuts.

If they come together as a team, and not playing just for themselves, Ole Ms will be a very good team.
