Bobby Burton Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 A federal judge has temporarily stopped the NCAA from enforcing its rules restricting member schools from using NIL to recruit student-athletes. In other words, players can now negotiate and sign their NIL before enrolling at a specific school and schools and collectives can use NIL as a recruiting inducement. https://theathletic.com/5295907/2024/02/23/tennessee-ncaa-nil-lawsuit-injunction/?redirected=1&source=user_shared_article&access_token=222208 View full news 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Recruiter Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The NCAA needs to cease to exist as we know it. I still remember when I was in school, we had a restriction on the salad dressing options available to us because the NCAA considered it a violation. Good riddance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTown Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Read in an ESPN article where they talked to head of many Collectives. All basically said it is open season now and offer letters to come shortly. Some are even questioning the Dead period. The Spring portal and beyond will be crazy with back and forth. Applies to HS recruits and portal guys. The aggressive well funded Collectives are about to be in full blast. Hold on and enjoy. Texas One Fund should be able to compete with all, and hopefully we go full throttle🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AG of Tennessee did say he would be willing to work with the NCAA to find common ground. But he knows without Congress he has the ultimate winning hand.

The AG of Tennessee did say he would be willing to work with the NCAA to find common ground. But he knows without Congress he has the ultimate winning hand. I think it's in principle. If the NCAA can't regulate NIL, they can't inhibit athletes' movement for better financial deals. Everyone seems sort of giddy, and I know Texas is going to benefit from this temporary ruling, but I'm sort of bummed about the future of college sports. Dodds glibly says "college athletics hasn't blown up yet", but it almost certainly will. I have a degree from UT and a degree from Rice, so it's sad to see on the horizon a day where Rice can't field a competitive team in any sport (yeah, yeah, some are going to say Rice doesn't field competitive teams now, but I heard the the nervous groans at DKR in September). Most will laugh it off, but Rice has almost a 100 years of athletic history and that's going to end soon. ...and that very well may be the case for all but the 20 or so athletic departments in the country that actually make money. Just another perspective.🤘 Edited February 24 by horns96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeMay Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 NCAA needs to sit down and be lucky it's still something. In the mean time.. money is about to pony up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This sounds like a recruit can get his money and then give the school his middle finger and go elsewhere or am I getting this wrong. Are contracts on the horizon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Larson Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 All the NCAA need to be a game rules committee that governors. They could really help with better officiating and consistency. Now is the time that all 134 schools get together and make a plan/contrat for so many years and get all this other madness under control. Start with getting Saban,Mack Brown, Joel Klatt and other like to participate to clear this madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watty7796 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 At a minimum there should be a coalition of conferences (confrence leaders) that sets and dictates the standards and rules as well as clearly laid out punishment for violations. This should happen for each sport so as one does not overlap the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingPresidential Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I'd highly recommend getting an antitrust expert on to discuss this. You touched on it briefly, but most of these losses are coming in antitrust litigation, and that was even before the last 5 years or so of rethinking of the consumer welfare standard. The consolidation of conferences is gonna pose an antitrust issue for those left out, if it's not already. There's renewed interest in enforcement of the old antitrust laws from both parties, and I'd bet the AGs of the left out states and schools are raring for a fight to score political points. This article is paywalled and from a few years back but touches on the issues. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/COVID19-OpEds/2022/09/07-MorganFialkoff.aspx Edited February 24 by RollingPresidential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
