Better question is what booster is willing to give $20k for a recruits signature right after us receives said recruits signature.Did anyone get $20K today from a booster for their signature?
Maybe a booster that's sending the message to the next kid that UK wants his signature..Better question is what booster is willing to give $20k for a recruits signature right after us receives said recruits signature.
This was my immediate reaction to this decision, although I think the SCOTUS ruled correctly on Constitutional grounds, this ruling basically opens the door for recruits to start signing with the highest bidder, unless the NCAA and the schools can come with some legally enforceable restraints.

What is so bad about players signing where they can get the most sponsorship dollars? It's not like the playing field was even before this
Nothing if you have 35-40 boosters willing to sponsor 35-40 of th he best players in the country. But quite a bit if your fanbase doesnt have that many boosters willing to win a championship.
I can also foresee in the future that if a rating service drops a star off of some kid, kid and their parents are gonna sue for the $$$ the rating service cost them….
time to separate ones thoughts and feelings from this process, it’s gonna get good for entertainment
But isn't that the same as the situation prior, the only difference is instead of a sponsorship gap it was a financial budget gap. Schools have always had different levels of resources, this won't change that in either direction.
There is no system you can design that will give all schools a fair shot at the top talent. The only difference is now those resources can directly benefit the players. Just look at the football program budgets in the SEC, there is a clear difference in resources.

and make sure their head is at practice and in the game and not busy worrying that another player is getting more than them.You basically don't have any control...so it's all good now.
If a business person wants to pay a kid $30k to endorse his car dealership for nothing...they can.
If you want to pay a kid $20 bucks for their autograph.....you can.
If you want to pay a kid $100 bucks to show up at your kids birthday....you can.
I think the issue is how do you get the money guys out along with Stoops/Marrow when trying to recruit. This part will come to play...so how you organize your pitch to these kids will be interesting to see how that works.
So you think paying high school players is the same as after they sign. This will be a disaster next year. Why not pay 8th gradersYou basically don't have any control...so it's all good now.

Simple ~ money's held in escrow until kid signs w/Booster's school at which time money's released. Kid can see the money while in escrow, he just can't touch it. Booster didn't get rich giving money away for nothing. BTW, kid totally understands 'cause his attorney explained thoroughly months before.Better question is what booster is willing to give $20k for a recruits signature right after us receives said recruits signature.
It's my understanding that the things you mention are agreements between the NFL & NCAA. I don't think the kid would win that in court, if challenged.From what is being said, it is now fine to have an agent. Will a kid be able to declare for the draft and return to college if he falls below where he thought, or goes undrafted? From all the new rules, he should be able to come back to college with his agent shopping him around for the best deal. With this agent, will a no sit transfer in his pocket, be able to shop him around after his first or 2nd year in college? These kids have less restrictions on their team swapping that professionals.
How many of you have ever considered paying any money to a kid to come to Kentucky? You act like there are all these people sitting around with buckets of money who's only lot in life is to secure a top recruiting class at Kentucky. Rich people generally got their money and kept it because they aren't stupid. Giving tons of money to an 18 year old that may or may not pan out is not a smart way to spend money. All of you unrich people on here underestimate what the rich people will do.That is exactly where I am afraid we are heading. Not only with kids coming out of HS, but with the free 1 time transfer, what is going to deter booster from contacting a player who exploded on the scene as a frosh or soph and become dominant? Kids can now legally accept payment, they can transfer without sitting a year. The only limit is the number of boosters a school has that wants to buy a championship. Scholarships may have to turn into contracts with buyouts and non commit clauses.

Not only will they not stick, they'll be challenged in court. Most of the time, but not all, the athlete will win.The list of restrictions by UK prohibit any nil from boosters, which likely include significant donors. It can be through a business entity owned by the booster although it sure seems like that will get extra scrutiny from the athletics compliance office (aoc).
UK has a surprising number of restrictions imo. As the market evolves, can't imagine all these sticking because I doubt other schools will have or keep as many.
This is the path we are on. Not sure where it takes us. Seems contracts, player association, and collective bargaining aren't too far off.That is exactly where I am afraid we are heading.

Genius! However, they must still declare said funds on their tax return, or wait for the IRS to knock on their door. The boys and girls better have good lawyers to navigate those hazards!To make it even easier to buy recruits now, all the recruit has to do is set up a crypto currency account and then let the "sponsors" load it up with bitcoin - which is untraceable for the most part.

Whatever restrictions there are now will all be gone in the not to distant future. They’re all going to be completely unenforceable, even assuming the NCAA has the resources and the will to police all this, which they don’t. Besides, if it’s all about “capitalism” and “freedom” then why should there be any restrictions at all?Very true for some schools. Which is why I'm fairly certain the ncaa won't even try. So short a school or booster writing a check to a recruit, enforcement won't even be on the radar.
So, a basic right granted to all college students, is now granted to athletes. Decades late, and B$ short.Whatever restrictions there are now will all be gone in the not to distant future.

Probably best you leave now, anyway...player unionization, and Workman's Comp' claims are right around the corner.If I want to watch pros, I'll check out the NFL (not interested). Maybe it's time to let colleges actually focus on indoctrination...I mean education. Fall is a beautiful time of the year for pursuing other endeavors.
I dont think they ever get over the employee hurdle. If the courts allow it to go that far, schools should simply shut down sports.Probably best you leave now, anyway...player unionization, and Workman's Comp' claims are right around the corner.

Justice Kavanaugh seems to believe they can overcome said employee hurdle, and I'm inclined to agree with him. Mutually assured destruction is always an option, but not a very bright one. Some might, but not all will.I dont think they ever get over the employee hurdle. If the courts allow it to go that far, schools should simply shut down sports.
You do realize the costs associated with declaring players as employees. UK has 500 of them. It would cost north of 15 million. That would be unsustainable by most schools.Justice Kavanaugh seems to believe they can overcome said employee hurdle, and I'm inclined to agree with him.

Money makers only are kept: FB & M-BB (100 new employees). The rest are toast, and will be shut down absent the two smallest/cheapest W-Sports (7 for Tennis; 7 for X-C) to ensure Title IX compliance.You do realize the costs associated with declaring players as employees.
