Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Glitch]

I think the universities will come up with a way to seize the NIL money their top players are making and redistribute it among the rest.

It can be part of the socialist/communist agenda they are already shoving down their throats!!!

Q: If Player X gets $10,000 in NIL money and he has 100 teammates, how much money does Player X get to keep?

A: Player X keeps -$10 because he had to pay for gas to get to the endorsement deal photo shoot and lunch was not provided on site so he had to grab a bite to eat on the way.

I don’t think so. Part of Georgia’s NIL law was 75% of endorsements being put into a pool for the rest of the schools athletes i’m pretty sure.

Pretty sure it was a choice and schools could opt out of the sharing. UGA and GTech both opted out.

Sweet mother of mercy, those are so freaking good, LOL.

Equity, or whatever

From each according to their abilities....

To each according to their needs...

Typoglecemia about made me ball my fists.

LOL, I had to read it again after I read your post. Glad that I read it again.

NIL means Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, and UGA are gonna get all the recruits.

wait…..

That already happens. Nevermind

I think it could hurt both. Alabama is not a particularly populous state and a significant portion of that state will always be Auburn fans. Same goes for SC and the Gamecocks. Both of those schools have large national followings right now due to recent success but how many of those widely dispersed bandwagon fans are going to put any real resources into NIL-related expenditures.

Another thing that I am not sure of is how NIL affects boosters. I'm sure most of us have received the list of dos and don'ts from the AD at some point or other. Just because players can benefit from NIL does not mean that the NCAA cannot compel schools to disassociate boosters who make payments to players, whether or not those payments are made under the guise of NIL.

That kid from UCF (i think kicker) who got his scholly pulled for having a YouTube channel wishes this NIL would have happed a few years sooner.

Bigger college towns should be bigger opportunities for the athletes. Knoxville is up there.

And we don't have pro teams. I think that's the sweet spot, since our athletes are the biggest in town...the opposite of LA (USC/UCLA). Those kids won't even be top 10 athletes in their city, if top-25.

Based on population and the above, Austin and Columbus should be in the best of spots. Some have mentioned MLS teams...but meh. No football, baseball, basketball.

Knoxville is at the top of the SEC...another major sweet spot with the SEC advantage added on.

It was an option. Don't think any school is seriously considering it...would kill recruiting.

Edit: Gee'd

Afaik the most recent guidance actually allows boosters to partake. I believe last year word was they would not be able to. The whole SCOTUS/Kavanaugh opinion may have swayed that.

But the same article said states may go the route of not allowing boosters. Apparently Florida already has and the author expected other states to go that route.

Let’s have fun, what would hire Gaurantano to sell/endorse?

Up to individual schools to fund the extra scholarships. So perhaps at the school he wanted to attend but I’m sure there are schools who are funding the extra schollys.

Take this article about football and apply it to soccer. Definitely can hurt potential incoming class.

The Ramifications of Granting an Extra Year of Eligibility

Thanks. They (not sure who) offered him a walk-on year instead.

The subjective nature of the recruiting rankings is about to get interesting too. A 5-star will have a higher market value than a 3-star and so on. There will probably be a lot of politics with the ratings and rankings of recruits.

All kinds of fallout and fun potential with this. I suspect this will be the beginning of the end of college football as we know it today. I can see Recruiting and signing day turning into a whole new event.

Great twitter thread from someone in the NiL universe. Lists all the various ways players could make money, more than I originally thought of. He predicts 75% of "revenue sport" athletes can make at least $2,000 a year. No, it's not a ton and less than their stipend, but some nice side money for a poor college student (I'm sure we've all been there...).

Sweet... I like that.

That's barely $100 a month. That's not nice side money for the revenue athletes

The amount of player tracking data out of the NFL these days is wild. There are data analytics/programming competitions (namely the NFL Big Data Bowl) with people figuring out all sorts of things with nothing but data from player sensors (yes it still often needs football minds to put things into context - assignments, plays, etc).

This is going to be a big part of the future of football analytics and pushing coaches to question old assumptions.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

So does this mean they figure will win less than 6 games?

Idk when I was in college I felt blessed to have $100 in my pocket Arian Foster sure could have used it too lol.

I could definitely stretch $100 for a month (no bills) but I don't think these athletes will (not even going to bother calling them student-athletes anymore)

 

[TheRain]

Even better.

I saw some polls today that shows GEN Z are more comfortable with socialism. So your example is right down their alley.

Boosters at schools like Bama, UF, UGA, LSU, Auburn and aTm are going to continue to do whatever they want. Things work a certain way there and have for a long time.
