I mean they’re literally charging a 10% talent fee on sales now. You’re hard pressed to find tickets under $100 for the crappy games and now they’re making them more expensive. I’m not complaining, but it probably wouldn’t be the best of looks for him if he then turns around and starts begging for cash.

I hear ya. I get tired of people saying TN fans need to donate for NIL causes. If that’s the case and we need $$, then tell us. We are a top fan base who brought 35k to Columbus. Personally, I think we need more donors with deep pockets.

They have to be ready for a lot of people being “offended” that he would ask for money. Im a little tired of the donation plate myself. All this started because the NCAA and schools wouldn’t give the guys a few bucks a month or Even let them get a part time job.

Agree.

But I think you would see a significant boost in NIL donations if White asked. That’s my point.

Kind of like future millionaires asking people who do not and will not every make close to that kind of money to give them money,

why do you think heard will be good next year? PFF grade of 44.9 on the 24' season is lackluster to say the least

So Heard can’t improve at all? A former 5* just can’t improve? He improved as the season went on. I don’t understand why some think Heard sucks. Also what does the 2024 PFF grade have to do with this year? Oh that’s right nothing.

What development from Elarbee has you so confident that one of the worst left tackles in the SEC will just magically improve in one offseason?

Just finished watching a game while focusing on the right player this time.

I was going to watch the other game but decided not since several folks with good knowledge, don’t think we are getting this guy.

My take….he isn’t game changing. He did a decent job in pass pro but very little push in run blocking. I don’t think he would get drafted. JMO and only based on 1 game.

It's not gonna change anything. Collectives will still exist. Top players will still get offered exorbitant deals from school boosters.

Those contracts will have to be approved by a committee that is being set up for just those situations. They're going to go by a fair market value that will be set.

If anything, it will drive the money back under the table

That's it. They have to be "legitimate" deals. It lends itself to bending of the rules.
I can see Nick Saban Benz dealership having lots of high paid spokespersons,etc.
I imagine Nike will have a feeder for these types of deals. I think it's going to muddy things and send it back into the shadows and murkiness of backroom dealings.

Again, no ruling will ever be passed that limits an athletes earning potential. NIL deals cannot have a limit. It's all protected by the Sherman Antitrust Act.

The most you might see is that schools can't have official partnerships with collectives. But that doesn't prevent the collective from signing whatever athlete they want and paying them whatever amount they want.

I believe heard is playing out of position. He needs to move inside and play guard, he’s to slow at tackle. He’s not gonna give up the LT pay though

This.

Without collective bargaining, these limits still fall under anti-trust, market tampering laws.

Since there is no player union, there is no collective bargaining. Since there is no collective bargaining, any assurance of what will happen in July/etc are just so much more click bait.

PS: I am not sure any players union would agree to a limit on their financial marketability. Not even the NFL has tried to touch that one.
