Can't cap NIL. The only way to somewhat put a cap on it would be for the NCAA to have some organization that basically makes the athletes employees. Then there can be an agreement made as to how much they can make. Beyond that, there isn't going to be a cap.Should there be a salary cap on nil?. I think freshmen should be capped at 100k. Sophomores at 250k. Juniors at 500k and Seniors at 750k. Thoughts? Would make an even playing field for all teams.
Exactly. NIL is not salary, even the pro leagues collective bargaining agreements can’t cap NIL they make.I do not think the NCAA will ever win in a court of law of putting a cap on NIL. NIL caps do not exist anywhere else.

It is going to eventually work itself out. Either there will be laws put in place on stuff like this, where there are agreements, or people will just get tired of giving money to these atheletes with virtually nothing in return.
No. The market should dictate player salaries. When Washington pays a dude 2 mil and doesn’t make the tourney, they will learn a hard lesson. That’s capitalism.Should there be a salary cap on nil?.

Probably.There can't be a cap on NIL unless the players form a union and agree to that in a collective bargaining agreement.
I don’t know the answer but probably schools need to follow Boise State then take it one step further. Refuse to pay players then let the chips fall where they may.Probably.
This is not a problem that the courts can fix or the NCAA.I don't agree on a cap but I do believe there should be enforcement that a player returns services in kind for the money they receive.
In other words , a player just can't get money without returning a service as value - that was the intent of NIL.
Now if the NCAA wanted to step in and set caps on what those service values are , that might make sense. Such as a commercial endorsement cannot exceed 250K. Would that stand up in court? probably not
If the NCAA tried to enforce the rules, they would be sued and they would lose.It's very easy: enforce the very limited rules in place. One of the two or three rules was no payment to entice attendance.
That's clearly what's going on. These kids have zero obligations or anything they do to earn this money. So attendance is it.
Enforce the rule.
Sounds like socialism to me.Should there be a salary cap on nil?. I think freshmen should be capped at 100k. Sophomores at 250k. Juniors at 500k and Seniors at 750k. Thoughts? Would make an even playing field for all teams.
Take a hike with your political bs.The people who call everyone who disagrees with their right wing politics “Marxists” want to limit how much money college basketball players can make off of their name image and likeness.
This is why he loves the poorly educated.
That would not fly here.I don’t know the answer but probably schools need to follow Boise State then take it one step further. Refuse to pay players then let the chips fall where they may.
You can give someone 2 million for one endorsed tweet if that's what you choose to do. Is that a stupid business decision sure but rich donors aren't making business decisions atm.It's very easy: enforce the very limited rules in place.

Then put a “limit” on how much money a school can pay a coach and an AD or ANY school employeeI don’t know the answer but probably schools need to follow Boise State then take it one step further. Refuse to pay players then let the chips fall where they may.
Yep. It turned from a great idea in theory into a loophole to just pay dudes.NIL is nothing like I thought it was supposed to be. I thought it was going to be setup so players could get paid to be in a video game, or a 3rd party could pay them to be in a commercial, stuff like that. It seems to me that schools are just out right paying them to come play. Sure, it's technically not the "schools" money, but that's just semantics. The way it's panned out is bullshit and will ruin college athletics unless something changes. Not sure if caps is the answer but the way it is now is whack.

There are no easy answers that are legal. This thing has to play itself out while we wait for the next steps
players become employees with revenue sharing
legislation from congress
unionization with schools directly paying and a salary cap
Even with those things NIL could still be a work around to give players money beyond the salary cap.
This deal could be agreed upon as early as next week. Schools giving 22% of annual revenue to players will be a huge hit to universities but it protects them from the courts handing down a much larger number. This is outside of NIL and won't affect how that is distributed.

Industry leaders describe the next two weeks as, perhaps, the most consequential in college athletics history.sports.yahoo.com
Yeah the lawyers are quoted in the article saying how this applies to title IX will be settled in the courts. It will most likely be evenly distributed but settling on a number is the most important thing for universities.And once this is agreed to get ready for the Title IX lawsuits to start rolling through the courts that demand an even spread of that money even to sports that don't generate any revenue.
This is going to be a gigantic mess.

Tell that to MLB. Shohei Ohtani says hi.The NIL will work itself out. It’s a bubble now, but it will bust, and find equilibrium.
Collectives members will soon realize that there is not a return on investment.
