Football NCAA settlement -
Does this mean athletes will become employees of the university?
"Scheduled to take effect in the 2025-26 academic year, the settlement allows colleges to directly pay athletes for their participation in sports, with a $22 million annual pool available for distribution. This shift marks a turning point in college athletics' history, transforming the NCAA's financial dynamics."

NCAA settlement brings sweeping changes to collegiate athletics
The House v. NCAA settlement has introduced a transformative revenue-sharing model and new roster limits, set to reshape collegiate athletics by increasing athlete compensation while narrowing opportunities and challenging smaller programs.

Football Important Dates to pay attention to
...Over the next 2 months and how it relates to portal additions. Our bowl game (whichever it is) will afford us 15 more practice dates over the next 4 weeks or so, so mix that into a busy month. Dec 2nd through Dec 8th (Sunday) is a dead period. As we all know the portal "opens" on Dec 9th for most kids.
Dec 9th through Dec 28th - portal is open.
College Football playoffs Dates:
Dec 20th through 21st (First round)
Dec 31st through Jan 1 (Quarterfinals)
UF dates
Now through Jan 9th: Advanced registration for spring semester 2025.
Jan 10th: Regular registration.
Jan 13th: Classes begin
Jan 13-17th: Late registration and drop/add
While players who wish to leave schools in the semifinals can make it in that late registration week, usually these things require a visit, and with the championship game being the Monday after late registration ends, i think we can safely rule out 99% of players from these 4 teams unless Napier gets the ok to get a kid in late (which has happened before). Regardless of it being possible, the likelihood is close to zero.
for reference:
QUIET PERIOD: A quiet period is that period of time when it is permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts only on the member institution’s campus. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts or evaluations may be made during the quiet period.
DEAD PERIOD: A dead period is that period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the member institution’s campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s campus.
CONTACT PERIOD: A contact period is that period of time when it is permissible for authorized athletics department staff members to make in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations.
Dec 9th through Dec 28th - portal is open.
- Kids on playoff teams, or any bowl team playing after Dec 23rd, have 5 additional days after their game.
- I am not sure if transfers can be officially hosted during this time
- Jan 1st through the 5th (Wednesday through Sunday) is a designated quiet period for mid year transfers who intend to enroll in January.

New Story Men's Basketball NIL donations and match/bourbon details YOU DID IT! MATCH MAX HIT! $100K RAISED.

Great win in NC. Just HUGE! The Gator boys are rolling!
I am creating a new thread simply because I want to post new information here and the original thread is now way too long. This is where I am going to post information about the status of our donation efforts and logistics for getting you your bourbon. If you are tired of reading about this, please know that I apologize and please move to another more entertaining thread. Believe me, I get it.
So, on Sunday night when I started this, I had no idea how it would be received. Big kudos to @HalleyGator44 and other members of BDI for helping with the bourbon shortfall b/c, like I said, I had NO idea this would blow up and consume my 65-bottle allocation.
You incredible, generous people have donated over $50K. With the match we have given over $100k to MBB NIL! The fundraising match is now over.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
So, we are talking over 110 bottles of bourbon
A handful have declined their bourbon (thanks!). I am leaning on @Buje to help me with the logistics as I am just not that smart. We have to reconcile the names on the FV donation list with the usernames here. That is no small task. Time consuming and not fun! We also want to keep people's names private so we will be sending individual PM's rather than posting anything in a general thread. We may even be emailing you directly based on the email address you gave FV. If you have donated, please look for a PM from me and/or @Buje. We initially talked about you picking up your bourbon bottle at a football game next year. I attend most, but not all games, and I don't want to miss anyone. I am also willing to ship these bottles to you at no cost to you. My good friend @Buje will be posting on this thread more general information about how this will all happen. He will DM or email you the info and process. He will be sending you guys a "ticket" if you are coming by the tailgate where you can redeem it for your bottle. I don't want to get into the situation (sad in today's world) where I get scammed by someone saying they are one of my donors and they walk away with your bourbon.
I am looking forward to meeting you at a tailgate next year! For those who want to remain 100% private and who did not provide contact information to FV, please accept my sincerest thanks for your donation.
I know this is all complicated, and I apologize. I just was not prepared for this. But please also know how grateful I am. I spoke with Coach Todd last night post-game and he thought I was kidding him when I told him the amounts we have raised for his kick-a$$ team. He was extremely grateful and wanted me to let you all know that this is very, very helpful. He kept saying "Gator Nation is amazing."
Thanks.
