Don't be giving USC and UCLA any ideas for unique NIL opportunities, now

I guess Stankey is getting worried this might level the playing field in football and hurt his golden boy Nick from hoarding all the talent.

What could possibly go wrong? Side note, trip includes a meeting with two senators, one of whom is Marsha Blackburn. We'll see if her message is: leave Nico alone.

My biggest gripe with college athletics was always that the federal government was just not involved enough. Thank goodness we’re finally getting on that

I hope they are informed that they will be required to split the 3 billion dollar tv contract, an the revenue from ticket sales, and jerseys if they want to try and deny people the ability to make money off their own NIL.

I’ve not found the Basilio show worth listening to for some time now. But for more than an hour today it was very interesting. Best broadcast I’ve heard for a long time. TB and Doc Sinclair talked about Spyre, other collectives, boosters, budgets, athletic departments, the NCAA, and other stuff related to NIL. It’s hilarious that the greedy NCAA, conferences, coaches, and administrators are losing control and the boosters are gathering more influence. Lots of great points about how wasteful the broken system has been and how the boosters are getting more involved.

The 5/4/2022 program. The first hour is really good. Gets boring for the first half of the tennis coach interview, but the 2nd half redirects back to NIL. Interesting that tennis has 4.5 scholarships for about 11 players and also the roster for the tennis team is global (and international players can not participate in NIL - except if it is within their own country (a loophole for Vescovi, Uros, ORN, etc ?). Also the ON3 writer has a segment.

Wow, I didn’t know Marsha was involved in the meeting. I would love to be a fly on the wall in that room.

If I thought the NCAA was pushing for regulations on NIL to protect the player, (such as having written, legal offers; solid financial advising in place, making sure kids understand what they're agreeing to) and not just limit their options then I would have no problem with regulations. However, I just don't see that being the case.

Agreed. This is almost certainly to protect the NCAA and it's member institutions and not the athlete. I suspect they will be asking for caps on pay, narrow the scope, and perhaps even the abolishment of collectives to prevent these pay for play scenarios. Somehow, the NCAA is going to mess this up even more than it already is.

If these commissioners and the NCAA have consistently proven anything, it’s that they are looking out for their own interests and the athletes are a secondary consideration in every decision.

Money is flowing in and they aren't getting any of it. That is their issue.

The problem is the NCAA doesn’t have the legal authority to trump federal law so capping somebody’s income is not possible

Like a desperate swimmer being pulled out to sea in a riptide, opening a vein to summon some hopefully helpful large fish to pull him back to shore... Kliavkoff and Sankey will appear before congress wielding the words "there's too much unregulated money coming in."

The keyword there is “lobby”

which is just legal bribery

Yeah...with the Fed's track record what could possibly go wrong!
