Saturday: What Will Texas Do Given New NIL Ruling?

Question on a separate but related issue…does this at all change the concept of having LH Foundation donations redirected to NIL purposes?  I believe the legislature green-lighted this in their NIL law, but we chose to refrain from using the donations in this way until some other NIL issues were settled.  Thoughts?

This would be one mechanism for Texas to really separate its NIL program from most others.

It “could” have an impact. That’s the issue. We don’t know. So the NCAA and the institutions continue in limbo until they actually do the work.

I hear you but every expert I have heard believes this is a done deal. Also read it is not that easy to get that appeal as well. Honestly I haven't seen anyone say the NCAA will win an appeal. The judges statements are pretty clear on anti trust. We can disagree of course , but imo it is done.

Congress checks in, or the NCAA gets smart and works this out. Not sure they even appeal, it is a waste of $ imo. But I hear ya we shall see. And with the big Cali case almost done, they need to save every dime to survive at all imo. Have good 1!

If that is the case, then all of the so-called “experts” are sports writers and not lawyers. Of course, it is possible that the NCAA may lose this court case, and the verdict may be sustained on appeal. I certainly wouldn’t bet against that. But until that happens, it’s not a “done deal.“ I suspect that is why Texas is not charging ahead to violate these rules when all that has happened is that the NCAA has been temporarily been enjoined against enforcing said rules. 
 

If you think a district court judge in the eastern district of Tennessee is going to have the final say on this matter, I’m not sure what to tell you. If I had to bet,  I would think it’s more likely that Congress will wade into this matter, regardless of how this case is finally decided, and preempt the judiciary.

Many of the people I referenced are lawyers by the way. I don't know how to explain it better and we are getting no where. It is a done deal. And you have no idea what Texas is doing or will do since this just came down.  But I suspect we will go full speed ahead this is the new Texas regime.

I mean Bobby said that is where this is headed I don't know what more you need. I suggest you read more on the issue respectfully . No sense in the back and forth. I trust the federal judge and numerous lawyers with no skin in the game. It is a done deal book it!!

Just wait until the kids decide to go on strike for more money and we lose a season of football. This will get bad in my opinion.

This isn't realistic in CFB right now. We wouldn't lose a season because there are low P5 and and entirety of G5 programs worth of dudes chomping to move up and prove themselves. There's just no leverage for the top players and there's way too many schools with way too many players to get it all coordinated. 

Add to that the 4 year eligibility nature of college football makes it entirely laundry driven and not individuals driven. If say they manage even 100 of the top 150 players in the country to go on strike the programs would just replace them through the portal and play on. It would be a stupid move for the players who not only lose out on a season of development but also could hurt themselves for the NFL draft. 

From Michael McMann Sports Lawyer and Harvard Guy. Definitely he knows where this is headed

At then of this. The NCAA is going to be dead and there's going to be some sort of committee or somehow by laws and self-policing to where coaching staff and schools agree on how to handle all of it and it will be more clear-cut than what the NCAA ever has.

So hang on and watch what's going to happen you can see it coming. Because I think most of us agreed they're recruiting signing days portal all it's going to have to be somehow changing that's going to be other than the NCAA to do this is just the beginning.

Federal District Court Judge. Applies to the whole country, so trying to say he is a lowly judge shows you don't get it. And of course anything is possible but the odds are between slim and none on this . As for Congress that won't happen anytime soon either. They have been lobbying for months and are no closer than when they started.But I agree that is all that can save the NCAA to a point on some of this. Election year not gonna happen.

NCAA can change course themselves and work with the schools is the only fast way to get something done imo. But don't expect  that either. Who knows we all have our opinions and respect yours, just way disagree on the outcome.
