The NCAA is gonna have to figure out some type of framework for this stuff. I'm all for the players getting compensated but it can't be a wild west situation.

 

Something else to consider, and it speaks how awful the NCAA leadership is, they literally went from way tooooo many rules to no rules overnight. Need to meet somewhere in the middle. Kids deserve to market themselves and get paid but not at the expense of other schools or the integrity of the college game by basically accepting bogus, laundered bribe money which is basically what all these NIL deals appear to be.

That ship has sailed. All the big conferences have already intimated that they can do without the NCAA at all.

The NCAA is a  greedy, exploitive, corrupt white collar cartel masquerading as an entity who cares about student athletes but they at least provided some sort or structure. If the NCAA is disbanded, there still has to be rules and regulations for college sports.

Agreed on all counts. The whole system needs an enema.

I don’t know what the answer is but something has to be done. Like I said earlier they went from way too many rules to no rules overnight. Their should not be “free agency” in college sports.

NIL was supposed to be so kids could make money if they were depicted in video games, or for doing car lot commercials, merch sales, autographs, etc. It has very quickly and predictably turned into schools just buying recruits.

I don't think there is any saving it. We've entered hell.

Look, for decades boosters and the big wigs cheated to win. So rules were made. Then when the sport took off, and "the man" started to make bank ... fans started to feel sorry for the "kids". So NIL was created. Now it's just as bad as it was before those old rules. And it's in more ways than just the boosters and the big wigs channeling money into a NIL. We also have (insert that hot gymnast) making like 11 million dollars JUST because she's sexy. How does that make her teammates feel? How does that make ... um ... not hot female athletes feel? Holy crap, if a portion of female sports and the NIL turns into OnlyFans then lol. The NIL is a mess and it will only get more obscene.

There should have just be a salary/rate type payment players get based on the income their sport brings in. I think that was the original idea? Back then I said that would open a can of worms; where a golfer, for example, would complain that a football player gets more money. But I'd much rather them have that headache than the outrageous mess they're in now. We don't even know the half of it since it's so new. We're about to see dozens and dozens of multi millionaire children paid to play college sports. It's insane, and we started it, worrying about how the NCAA and other organizations were making money off of them. Welp ... here we are and it's even worse.

Im also a longtime Florida Gators Fan this is a big time AD Scott Stricklin and Administration problem the issues are well higher then Billy Napier! Florida Football will not return to what it was until the AD is fired and the UAA is flushed out with new people who are aligned from top to bottom!

I don't know how they're gonna square this with Title IX. You're gonna have the starting QB of Alabama making $10M while the "star" women's softball pitcher is eating ramen. I don't know how that flies.

That was my original issue with paying college kids. And that was before NIL. Now that we let them go into business for themselves, it's almost as if there's nothing that can be done. But hey, like the gymnast girl, I guess softball pitcher can go that route lol.

Here's an example of some of the NIL money being thrown around. This is for Texas and some of the women are being paid, softball, diving, swimming, and volleyball specifically.

Quote

Records obtained by the Austin American-Statesman show that 154 Longhorns sealed 418 NIL deals for a total of $2,039,180 from August 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022.

Here's how each sport stacked up:

  • 94 football athletes racked up nearly $900k in NIL deals, including one contract worth $60k and three deals worth $50k apiece. While UT is not allowed to disclose names associated with compensation, UT star running back Bijan Robinson made waves with six major NIL deals, including a recent contract with Lamborghini Austin.
  • Softball earned its fair share as well with the second-highest NIL value of $295,790 spread among 64 deals.
  • Men's and women's swimming and diving programs each earned around $250k each.
  • Men's basketball athletes inked 71 deals for a grand total of $158,585.
  • And volleyball was the final sport to crack $100k with 26 contracts and over $105k in cash.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
