I think so. Obviously Kirby is in the lead.

Seems wrong to rename it the Smart Cup.
So this is how they intend to curb stupid NIL deals through collectives
NCAA is desperate
This will lose upon appeal.

Impressive for Dabo.
Graduation rate is such a weird statistic. I'm always unsure whether I should laude a high percentage as a school supporting its athletes or question whether athletes are being passed through without getting a real college education.
This is a good thing
Fake ass NIL pay for play is and always has been bogus.

Money will just go back under the table at the schools that have always been willing to play the game. This rule will only help the schools / boosters that do not want to play the bag game and the schools that have no deep pocked alums/boosters
Yep. But I think a lot of fans like it better when it's under the table since they can willfully ignore it, accuse other programs as cheating when their team loses a recruiting battle, and also never get asked to donate their own money to player procurement.
It's a very different feel when you're told that 18 year old recruits who may never help the team are going to be paid a lot more money than you make and that you need to donate some of your own income to help make it happen or the team's going to suck.

This will break college football, and the old guard at the NCAA, the conferences, and in the coaching ranks knows it.
This is where I’m at.
Well, it's normal for employees to have to report those things, and most students aren't employees.
Aaaaand, this is why continuing with the fiction that athletes aren't employees is problematic.
Once you place them in the employment framework, a lot of the issues become much easier to deal with. Yes, there are additional costs and issues, but at least there's a framework with legal certainty as opposed to the every idea ends up litigated and the ncaa/ schools regularly lose that litigation.
Employees have to report this to the IRS. I expect that these students should report their earnings to the IRS just like everyone else that earns income. But reporting to a separate, non government, entity is absurd.
I guess I’m cool with them being reclassified as employees. I’m not cool with holding them to a different standard than other students for off the field activities.
Many people have to report outside employment contracts to their employers as a condition of their employment - sometimes they even have to report volunteer positions.
While it's a minority of jobs, it's not terribly unusual.
Again, employment law provides a really good framework for all these legal issues; at some point it has to be easier than continuing on the stupid path they're on right now.
That’s fair, I didn’t realize that’s what you meant. In that case my question would be why is a third party entity determining the “validity” of the deal and can deem someone ineligible for the deal? It should be solely up to the university to decide. My whole issue here is the unrelated third party getting any say. The only people that should have a say are the athlete, the NIL provider, and maybe the school to an extent.
I'd love to know the NIL escalation from the $ tied to the first commitment to what the $ became at each flip. Long way to December.

So much of this is the FAFO chickens coming home to roost for the unhinged boosters throwing cash at teenagers.
Utah is tough to hate.
In a related note, Arapahoe HS has the same tradition with the Arapahoe Tribe. They have a chief bless the gym every year and have a celebration of the tribe. It is pretty cool!
Sure, with that attitude.
My black heart has plenty of room for other programs. Don't worry. I've more than got you covered.
