Malik Murphy has bad advisors in his circle.

This ain't it.

Duke must have moved on from Murphy and not the other way around cuz ain't no way, Oregon State?

This is it.

No the kid would be the one suing not another state lmao. And they are hampering the kids choice to make money off himself as a way to prop up their universities which directly helps the state which is how you can say it’s collusion to harm the third party which in this case would be the high school kid.

But they're not. Most of the laws that allow are to entice in state kids to stay home. And the state isn't preventing you from getting NIL. You just get it early since you're an in-state guy. I'm sure if you were to go to KS and get NIL while still in HS, they will still be glad to get the taxes on that bread with zero hesitation (which I believe they have to pay anyway since residency laws require you be in an area for x amount of time but most of these cats are on scholly's for out of state students. Bringing forth a case showing collusion would be damn near impossible since the student would be saying the legislature is colluding against them when you have folks from plenty of other public/private in-state schools who are also voting in favor of the bill. This is all convoluted foolishness imo

College football teams worth as much if not more than hockey teams

 

[Numpsay]

lol @ dudes acting like everyone oblivious

we been saying this would lead to more parity, less depth/hoarding by blue bloods, and is the reason someone like saban retired

Motivating big donors to contribute to NIL and all they get out of it is to hopefully enjoy their college team winning on Saturdays etc.. isn't as easy as it sounds which is why it isn't happening at schools like Stanford yet.

The House revenue decision may level somethings out, but not all schools bring in the same amount of revenue and most can't afford to give 22% to athletes. And then I'm sure they'll be Title IX lawsuits that follow. Ultimately schools already spending ~20 million on their football roster will likely spend 30-40, when you also consider the roster cap will go up to 105. That isn't sustainable for a lot of schools.

I have my doubts about true parity, I think we'll have parity among a handful of teams that can afford to retain talent, which thus far is the biggest NIL cost, ahead of recruiting and the portal.

Hold on didn’t you say you can only get nil in high school if you are going to an in state school?

Yeah I'm not implying it will be every or even most teams but it will be more teams than the "bags under the table" era.

Probably but those rich mfs are egotistical mfs lmao

How is this possible with the athletes agreeing to it?

I think we will have parity among the p4 schools

There wasn't a big market when he left Texas, which is how he ended up at Duke. The market was even slimmer this time around.
