Can someone please explain to me again how South Carolina can give every player $25K and it’s not an NCAA violation?

Because no matter how many times they changes the rules that still seems against them on all levels. Very confusing.

Brian Rice had a good discussion of this (not SC specific) today on his radio show. He confirmed what we'd heard before, the upfront money is legal bc it comes w a contract which says the athlete will be available for NIL appearances, social media post, commercials if called upon by the collective or the donor. Terms of that seem vague and nonspecific. We might ask you to make a tik tok some day.

Brian said questions have arisen about what happens when someone under contract transfers and the collective feels like NIL obligations are still owed. He said in some cases the payouts are monthly, etc as opposed to upfront so they can be suspended if the athlete transfers. It's part of the unholy mess of the NIL wild west.

Isn’t it just a nil deal?

I guess, it’s through their NIL collective but it still just seems like pay for play which is definitely still against the rules.

NIL means they are earning the money for use of the Name Image and Likeness in a branding deal. I fail to see how that falls under any type of branding or NIL.

How many appearances, posts and commercials are being done though? If their name, image and likeness are not actually being used it’s not an NIL deal.

I’m not seeing any.

I’ve seen a few of their stars with their own branding deals.

But this is basically just Bakari Sellers giving them all $25K a piece for doing nothing.

Yes, the issue fm the beginning has been that the NIL commitment is obviously a fig leaf to pay salary, or signing bonus. But apparently its enough to keep it legal under this crazy non-system.

Pretty sure Bakari and the collectives would say they're proud to provide this compensation as a form of sharing the humongous revenue with the athletes who generate it.

Those national branding deals some of them get are far more lucrative than the salary, and most would probably carry over to the W and make up for the sh*tty salary there.
