Caps on nil.

That was the intention, but since the NCAA was a greedy corporation that wanted all the money this is what we have. Now we have to rely on Congress to sort it out and we all know that will be a Sh@t show. When has the government ever made anything better? There needs to be rules and someone to enforce them but in the end I’d wager they become employees.
I agree and that will take another 5-8 years to get sorted out. The easiest way to is base it in revenue making sports which means MBB and Football get paid. Some universities lose money so I guess those people can pay? That would be a show.
No, but what could ve done is capping the amount of portal signees one school could make over a 4 year period.
That would help curb the free for all. And it doesn’t do anything to restrict kids, just schools

Well then they should be employees, NIL isn’t their job. It’s just compensation for their likeness.
Yeah it's basically just going to be NBA Light and that sucks. There's a reason I like amateur sports more than the pros.
I agree, I don’t even know how you call them amateur unless they take the Olympic model. They get money from endorsements and that’s it. The way it should be but now they basically get pay for play disguised as that.
They just need to limit transfers period IMO unless they can legitimately put in a case to transfer closer to home or something.
No. The NIL stuff is no different than actors or singers or any other entertainment. They deserve what they get paid. What needs to happen is a competent governing body to take over and keep the back door deals (which I guarantee Kansas is doing) out of the sport
I'm in the same boat in my thinking. What you described is how I thought it would be, also. It's turned out totally different than what I thought it was supposed to be.
The NCAA brought this on by illegally screwing the players out of a fair share of things when "revenue sports" became the jackpot of money it is now. So think at least the 50 years. If they had been just moral and fair, we wouldn't be here today.
Now the US Congress is considering legislation to protect them from their own bad acts? If they weren't liable for these bad acts, they wouldn't need the protection! If Apple or IBM were looking at $2.71B in Civil loses, would our congressmen be looking to bail them out?
I say let the NCAA implode on itself. Let the civil loses kill it and the rogue athletic departments that sold their souls they day they embraced the term "student athlete" in order to screw the players and line the adults pockets with money. We'll restart from scratch and rebuild. No current NCAA management need apply.

If people don't want the amt paid to athletes, then let them become employees. If that's the case, then just like other employees, they should sign a contract. It would have amount being paid and for what services. If they don't perform the services, then they should be fired!! Just like an employment agreement. But they should know what is expected of them and the consequences if they don't fulfill their obligations. Players want all the benefits with no consequences. If they want $$$ like adults, then they should have to accept the repercussions if they don't fulfill the contract. They shouldn't be able to have the good without the bad. And that's what's happening now. Just my opinion.
EDIT: I just want to clarify that I am in favor of players getting $$$. But it's out of control right now.
That’s exactly why the NCAA won’t do anything to curb the craziness because the second they’re declared employees, that’s a mass of tens of thousands of employees the universities must pay taxes and insurance on. The system isn’t made to take that financial hit.
Currently they’re negotiating a settlement that will distribute revenue, allow them to collectively bargain, but NOT be classified as employees. But that will take an act of congress to work.
Nah, can’t make players do what coaches don’t have to do. But you can get around it by giving schools X number over Y years.
I called into a sports show as soon as NIL was approved and suggested that there should be a team NIL cap. Basically was dismissed as non-sense since businesses should be free to spend as much as they want…well this is what it’s gotten to now.
I get that but even coaches have buyouts preventing them from transferring every year.
