It potentially hurts because another part of that legislation is for the Bama, OSU, UGA of the world to break away and basically form a super league(at least how I read it). And these schools would be the ones who could do that. If that happened our athletic dept budget would crater overnight. Our athletic dept budget is what it is SOLELY because we are in the SEC and we get the SEC TV money. If a breakaway happens we are done.
Or, this is the beginning of a cap. Who knows.Quote:

Regardless, change is coming. My message to Charlie would be empty the clip. Especially if we get a top end QB.
They will never stand for that, that's why they will leave. This is the catalyst for the have to leave.Quote:

When you are grown up, graduate and in the working world, then you earn your money.
It is supposed to be the institute of higher learning not the institute of higher earning.
Oh I know it ain't going back but just sad to see this happen to what was once a somewhat pure activity that made it so great. Gone and never to return.
Title IX will keep that from happening most likely
With NIL at least it is above the table for the most part. As for the last aprox 30yrs it?s been under the table buying players. Example ?A? Cam Newton.
The first thing that needs to happen is to reinstate the rule that transfers have to sit a year. That would do wonders.
Regulation of this money would be good. Intraconference sharing of the money used to pay players would be amazing.
I'm no expert on Title IX, are you saying that it will be the factor that ends this when all "student athletes", have to receive the same benefits?Quote:

-Allow D1 schools to deal directly with student-athletes on NIL deals.

-Help gender equality with equal NIL investments for men’s/women’s teams.
-No timetable has been set, schools will have to accept changes.
Fair and Equal- Cant pay the guys and then all the girls get nothing. Lawsuits are already starting with NIL and they will likely hold them off- but when the school runs it- Title IX becomes a factorQuote:
