not really affecting anything on SEC sports to level the playing field. They dont want it leveled. Kentucky dont want basketball NIL capped. LSU and UPig doesnt want baseball NIL capped. It's still an arms race- all this does is help us vs G5 and lower P4

All the more reason we pushed up our commitment to baseball. Gotta compete in baseball and basketball, survive in football to stay at the big table and draw that big check.

I think you misinterpreted that article. It's just stating that schools have discretion on how to allocate their rev share.
For Msu, I would go 75% football. 15% men's basketball. 5% baseball. 5% everything else.

I did not. The big take from the article is that NIL will not be limited. So the rest of that shit doesnt matter.

For NIL, anything over $600 will go before a committee to be scrutinized for fair market value. The legality will be challenged, I think. Will be interesting to see how it all settles. Still just beginning.

If you think NIL is going to be limited I got some beach property over here in Shreveport for ya. Cheap. That article just told you what is going to happen

As has been stated, that article is not talking about NIL. Some schools wanted a standardized process for splitting the revenue that is being shared from schools. The article simply states that it will be up to each school on how to divvy up that pie. Some schools have put that info out there (UGA and TTech) in the article.
While technically true that there will be no limit to what can be earned by third parties, the settlement at least establishes a place for enforcement of any deals over $600 to be scrutinized. I admit I that I am not sure how that will look.

I will also add that I believe (I do not pretend to have any insider info) part of the reason we were able to pull OConnor is that we will commit a bigger portion of our revenue share to baseball than many other schools.
It will be interesting to watch. Will Gonzaga become even more of a power in CBB because they are not giving the majority to a football team? Will the best basketball coaches in the SEC move to Big East non-football schools where they can take the majority of the pie? Will Mark Stoops and Mark Pope fight publicly over the how it is all divided at Kentucky?

They did not say that. That is not what that article is saying. Once more, the House settlement has established that schools that opt in will have up $20.5M to share with athletes that comes from the revenue generated by the schools. Some schools wanted to standardize how that $20.5M will be split up. Kentucky wanted to spend a bigger share on MBB than the percentage being discussed. It was decided that each school could divide it as they see fit. Conceivably, Kentucky could give all $20.5M to MBB and Alabama would give all $20.5M to FB. That is all that article is saying.
I do not post much but I read enough to know that you will not give in. I bow out in trying to convince you of anything else. But to anyone else that does not want to click the link, I hope I have succinctly summarized what the article actually states.

As soon as an NIL deal is denied by the clearinghouse, a lawsuit will blow it all up

But as Cooter posted- the NIL part will eventually be separate and have nothing to do with the $20MM- the extra money will be what separates schools from others. I'm not sure why you guys arent understanding this

You are the one who referenced the article. Say it slowly with me, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NIL. You are drunk.

That or back to under the table cash.
If this were to actually be enforced with a competent governing body and no lawsuits, we would actually have a level playing field.

The NIL part is currently separate from the $20.5M. I am not sure anyone stated otherwise. I think I even stated that you were correct in that earnings from third parties has not been capped. I even stated Cooter?s point that the legality of striking down deals will be challenged. But that has nothing to do with the article you posted.
On other interesting notes, Deloitte who will be working with this enforcement arm, has stated that 90% of current deals with public companies would be upheld. However, 70% of current deals with collectives would be struck down. We probably will not see it settled into a final form for several more years as there will definitely be legal challenges.

Collectives could and should be severely limited to actual NIL instead of pay for play.

My hope is that when the denials of NIL deals are challenged, Judge Wilken's Order approving the House settlement is relied upon to say that athletes bargained for this system and, therefore, Deloitte's findings are binding. We will see.

But, athletes did not bargain for this system. There is no collective representation of the players - like a union- in this process. Yes, players had a hand in the lawsuits that created this mess, that is not the same as collective bargaining. When they do decide to sue, we are going to see more things tossed because of this lack of collective bargaining.

I think the argument is that the players were represented. Just like a plaintiff in any lawsuit that results in a settlement. The plaintiff bargained for the settlement.
The question to me is whether the current players are bound by the Plaintiffs' agreement in the House settlement. If they are, they have already agreed to the Deloitte clearinghouse.

This was never truly about Name, Image and Likeness. It was always about Pay For Play.
If it were, it would have to include regular students as well. When they show a promotion of the school's academic success and research and on campus activities, they use videos and photos of students. Those students Images and a likeness are used to "promote" the value just like athletes are used to promote their sport.
I still think there will eventually be huge repercussions for valuation of the male athletes higher than the female athletes. Sure, there are specific instances of star females getting high payouts for promoting the school due to their high profile recognition.
