Bowel games are hard to watch now with players opting out. Before nil it made some kind of sense but if their getting paid, they better play in the bowel game. Watched Miami's QB deciding not to play in the second half the other night. That guy made bank this year. If I were paying NIL, I'd be pissed. Miami lost by one.
And they’re even harder to smell.
That’s what I’m doing. I’ll watch on TV until such time when/if I don’t want to anymore. But I’m not buying tickets and I contribute $0.00 to NIL. Fans aren’t powerless here but you have to be willing to walk away.
Why can't they make it so that you get graded by your coach each week, and depending on your grade you get so much of the NIL the following week. Couple performance with pay, like the rest of the working class does.
Or sueing the daylights out of players who milk injuries or outright refuse to play.
NIL cannot be tied to results on the field or court.
I knew that but let’s be honest; you really think Duke is paying Flagg 3 million just for his looks?
Everybody has a sense of humor until the enemas come out of the fridge.
I understand that it can't be tied to performance, but I'm just saying that it should be. Right now as it stands, the players have all the control. Once they have an agreement, what's to stop the player from deciding when he wants to play and when he doesn't...like the football bowl games. If you're getting paid for whatever like image likened, name, etc , then you need to play. I agree that the players were screwed early on, but they are obviously just taking advantage of the situation. It all goes back to ME, ME, ME!!!!
I guess it depends on the law in a state, but verbal promises/contracts in regard to most things (e.g., not real estate) can generally be enforced. I believe the issue in those situations would be how you prove the contract existed - e.g., you did something for the other party's benefit that you wouldn't have done without something being promised in return, witnesses would also be a big plus, and having text messages may actually be a slam dunk. However, someone familiar with the law in Florida may say that the rule is different there. I'm just suggesting that written contracts, while wise to have, are not necessarily required for most agreements.
Yeah, it’s hard to make sense of that given that I assumed most of the total NIL budgets may not be 13M. Of course, in truth I don’t know what the NIL budgets are at any school. But I do wonder whether decisions like that quarterback are made based on the “value” the school places on that player in relation to their total NIL budget, or is it not based on relative value at all and instead just some super rich booster that wants his team to have that player and doesn’t care what the price tag is?
I can see this being the end of collegiate sports, or some kind of system in place where only players outside the top 50 in each position play in college and without pay.
I’m not sure the players wanna go down this road. Because of the way NIL is supposed to be structured I don’t know how he could be liable for such a thing anyway. Plus in the future schools may sue players for the exact same thing if they don’t preform.Ex-FSU players sue coach over $250K NIL promise
Six former FSU basketball players have sued coach Leonard Hamilton, alleging he failed on a promise to get each of them $250,000 in NIL compensation.www.espn.com
I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty more of these type lawsuits in the coming years. NIL is opening up a whole new lucrative area of litigation for our nation’s lawyers.
And, btw, former UK player Cam’ron Fletcher is one of those doing the suing.
This also shows how much our recruiting dipped under Cal later on. Cam Fletcher is a senior, now plays for Xavier and is averaging a huge 2/2 a game.Ex-FSU players sue coach over $250K NIL promise

Oral agreements can be enforced in Florida if you can prove the agreement had all of the elements of a legal contract, and it’s not a situation where the law explicitly requires a written contract.
