Law Trump to sign executive order limiting NIL payouts to college athletes

[TheMoa]

lol… I don’t give a fuck about college sports

Why? Is there an issue?

This will and should be rejected in court

For many college players, this will be the only chance to get paid

It's funny because until Newsom passed a state law allowing NIL (sponsorship) money for college athletes this was a heavy taboo, it was sponsored by Lebron at the time. They couldn't get any money beyond a per diem on trips. Obviously what happened is that some guys would get under the table deals. Coaches getting millions per year and athletes being suspended because some coach brought them lunch on a trip. There was this case of a guy who got in trouble because the coach paid his ticket to fly for his father funeral, it was as draconian as it gets.

Seriously, people would go crazy over this. When it was announced people freaked out that it was smearing the sanctity of college sports, that the athletes were getting "education" and that it would be the end of college sports. They claimed that it was an anti american law, backlash from the die hard fans was worse than people talking about gay marriage in the 90s.

After California passed it, the other states had to follow since their colleges wouldn't be able to recruit the top athletes offering only "1 year education". Last year Cooper Flagg made 28Mi in NIL money and life went on the same way.

The current "trouble" is that college programs who are more traditional and were able to recruit with only their brand and coach name (or paid hookers, like Pitino) started to lose top athletes to smaller programs who could hook them up with better sponsors.

If it were your kid or classmates i'd understand. Watching sports outside of the professional level i find weird.

I don't get it either, but you have now idea... at some point in the 2000s NCAA basketball would move more money and have more fans than the NBA. People go insane with college sports. My guess is that it felt less corporate.. a fan could probably meet the college star in a grocery store, plus there are tons of smaller college towns. NBA (I'm using nba as an example because is what I follow) is limited to 28 cities, per example

The resistance to NIL came from college sports being deeply institutionalized as "amateur" and therefore not paid, which made absolutely ZERO logical sense- the NCAA was the only business in the world that could make billions and not pay their workers (who were risking life and limb for free, especially on the football field).

No more though, now the players will get paid to play AND get NIL (and many are getting back pay).

What? Pockets? Every state has college teams that fans go crazy for. It's as American as apple pie, bro.

Where i grew up it was never a thing. Twenty or so colleges around here are mainly known for their fixation on specific academic fields.

 

[koquerelle]

There should be a pay cap to keep it fair

Why? It's never been fair.

I've got to ask. Where?

 

[Deaths Head]

It doesn’t really matter like most things Dumpy pants does it’s not legal and would just be over turned if not could be when the democrats take back the office after what will be known as the worst administration in history.

College sports and the NCAA do not operate under the executive branch of the federal government, any executive order with them to do anything would be legally challenged . But he’s got away with quite a few laws being broke this one should be interesting , I wonder if he’ll make it to closing animal shelters bf he leaves when he starts running out of places to attack ?

 

[Khaosan]

I feel the need to become outraged on someone elses behalf.

That’s just the steroids.

 

[NoSmilez]

Nobody here gives a shit about NCAA unless it involves transgenders.

 

[The XL]

This whole legislating by executive order has always been bullshit and clearly unconstitutional.

You know you are in the WR, when somebody always manage to bring up trans.
Good work.

Just look at the engagement. It is only 2 pages.

You are doing the lords work

 

[ShadowRun]

Colleges going to pay athletes more and then pass that for college tuitions and cost, you think they will give up any kind of profit

 

[KaNesDeath]

I've got to ask. Where?

Saying the state is broad. Its around the area where a certain former NYSNC member got arrested for DUI last year, lol.

I can't imagine there is a state in the union that doesn't have a few colleges with big sports programs. I mean even Mass. that has all those great academic institutes has BC and UMass and college hockey is HUGE there. There just isn't a dead zone of big college sports in the U.S., brother. That sounds more like a personal view of yours that you are projecting. Regardless, I'm not trying to be argumentative, and we all have our opinions. Cheers.

We do have colleges with big athletic programs. General populace following them like a professional sports team just isnt a thing. For context we have the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Islanders, Giants, Jets, Knicks and Nets. Fastest growing played sport around here in the past couple of years is pickleball.

 

[HockeyBjj]

I’ll also add

Colleges and universities should NOT play players directly.

There’s already a tuition crisis. Students shouldn’t bear these costs.

Let athletes get endorsements and ad money though

That's what NIL is

Name, Image, and Likeness money from endorsements and advertisements

Colleges aren't allowed to pay players directly with NIL

In NC college hoops is above all. I get what you are saying about your area.

 

[Scheme]

Every sports league limits the amount they can pay their players to prevent all the good players going to the richest place.
