NIL has already begun to get out of hand

1. Yes. Some schools will be in situations where they have contracts that will require them to prevent their IP from being used.

2. Butch didn't violate his contract. He's just a prick.

lol, ok BAMA writer. His It required him to make a reasonable and diligent effort to find a comparable paid position. Of course you think being an intern at Alabama is comparable to being the head coach at UT.

No they didn't. SCOTUS affirmed the 9th Circuit's ruling.

Not on the concept of “amateurism”. The lower court actually said that the NCAA has an interest in preserving it. The distinction is what I’ve made a few times here. The anti-trust is specially because the ncaa has a “monopoly” on college athletics. It’s not a ruling against the idea of amateurism.

It is a ruling against what the NCAA has tried to pretend is amateurism.

Theres no other way you could argue otherwise. UT could have absolutely sued him for breach. Just because they didn’t do it, doesn’t mean he don’t breach it. Everyone knows he took that cush job because UT was on the hook for his salary.

Ok thanks that’s the point I made at the very start that vollbill scoffed at. It wasn’t amateurism that they ruled against. If anything it’s because the NCAA wasn’t strict enough in defining and enforcing it. Otherwise the argument would have held more water

Of course he took the job to bleed UT. That doesn't mean he breached his contract. He applied and interviewed for multiple jobs each offseason. Nothing in the contract said he had to take whatever job was offered.

Yes it absolutely did say he needed to make a reasonable effort to mitigate what Tennessee owed. Taking an intern job is not it.

UT certainly could have argued that. On top of risking a publicly embarrassing legal defeat, UT would have made themselves radioactive to any and all decent coaching candidates.

Likewise suing their best football player for showing a power T in his Instagram ad for his favorite ice cream

If UT has a contract with a different ice cream parlor, they won't have a choice. They wouldn't start off by suing, but they'd have to work with the player to get the ad pulled. It'll be on them to educate their athletes as to how to legally pursue endorsements.

It's no different than the pros. The Titans have a deal with Pinnacle Bank. A player could sign a deal with First Tennessee, but he can't wear any Titans IP in the ad.

The NCAA had decades to deal with this. Instead, the schools opted to sit around doing nothing until it was taken out of their hands. ETA: They weren't really "doing nothing." They were actively fighting it, tooth-and-nail.

F*** 'em.

This will certainly change the landscape - when there are only six teams and no one is going to or watching any games. I don’t watch the pros now - it’s going to be super easy to add college games to what I don’t watch - I can find other ways to spend my entertainment dollar. I am just one person with a skybox - but let’s see what the landscape looks like in 5 years.

Sports has to be competitive to be fun to watch - if six wealthy teams can buy all the top players- you have removed the fun -

This will be a complete disaster.

Then college sport ceased being "amateur" in 1950 when athletic scholarships were created.

Key word there is “scholarships”. Athletic scholarships are not to exceed a school’s cost of education. What we are witnessing right now is unlimited endorsement and partnership deals. This is on a whole different level than scholarships.

That happens when you go to market with not much money in your pocket.
The top cuts of meat cost more than you can pay. You bring home round steak instead of a porterhouse.

Wrong...the shopper had as much money as anyone else. He was just a babbling fool who had no clue what to buy or how to cook regardless.

Local sports reporting here in Florida is saying that American Top Team is offering to pay EVERY member of the University of Miami’s Football team a salary of $500.00 per month.
Here we go..!!!

Fun times! Sankey has said publicaly that they were not supposed to do that. Schools cannot directly pay, it has to come from a third party, "supposedly". I bet he changes his stance if true. I'm sure the criminals....oop's, I mean agents (I keep doing that), have found a loophole.

That doesn't say the school is paying them, American Top Team is.

I'll tell you what's digging a hole in my brain rn, and i don't think anyone has an answer for me so I haven't asked but, what happens to recruiting guys and how will they adapt? The guys giving stars are no longer valid. How do you have an amateur ranking system in a pro sport? What's to stop people from buying their way in? Nothing, as far as I can tell. The whole cottage industry just lost legitimacy. Not sure if this is good or bad, but I'm sure those guys are in a panic rn.
