Unless this is changed this just threw a huge wrench into the upcoming NIL plans.

I think the NCAA was going to allow teams to spend up to like 20 million a year out of revenues directly for NIL type payments to players. If this isn't changed that goes out the door probably as female sports not bringing much revenue in - sometimes negative profit will be demanding big payments. Should have known some crap like this would have been on the horizon and attempted.

They would be better off just ditching the plan instead of giving into this virtue signaling. Will hurt the lower big conference teams though competitively.

No part of this is “virtual signaling.” It is guidance on how to comply with what the law requires. Save us the use of dramatic political buzzwords to mischaracterize the intent and purpose of what was issued.

Then take a breath and realize that on Monday this guidance will be rendered completely irrelevant and you will be able to unwad your panties…

Unless the Trump Administration wants to actually comply with what the law requires…lol…

It is virtue signaling 100% but if it isn't changed I guess one good thing is NIL for players won't get as crazy out of control as it would if the normal plan goes forward. Might as well make them professionals and let the better Canadian football players etc making way less money than many of these players despite being better overall come play as graduate students.
 
If this stands, it will simply accelerate the process of separating sports from schools. It won't be long before all sports programs have their own EIN and board and operate independently from the schools (wink wink), while the schools are leasing their name image and likeness to them. When the schools have no sports, no more title IX sports issues.

NIL, as much garbage as it is, is distributed based on revenue sharing that is generated by, and apportioned to the sports that funds it's very existence. 😂

If the University is doling out $$$, then I think it’s a correct ruling…..but NIL collectives aren’t the University…. And they’ll determine the market demand. Not going to see the third ranked volleyball girl get the marketing demand of a top 10 wide out

Are you sure about that? Consider Liv Dunne. Or this volleyball player, Madison Nellman.

To me if it's held up this way it's BS. Giving opportunities to play sports is one thing but forcing how revenue might be given to athletes is another. It will get interesting if it's not scrapped.
 
Definitely on par with a wideout.
Tell me this girl wouldn't brighten up a beer commercial. Makes more sense than using NIL as a thinly disguised way to pay recruits. This is why profit sharing (if it's allowed to be profit sharing and doesn't get Title IX'd) is better than NIL. NIL is supposed to be advertising, social media, etc. Profit sharing, obviously, comes from the value of the product put on the field. That's the authentic way to pay the athletes who have earned the money, while the others can profit from a pretty face and a ready smile. Of course, the real stars will get both. But giving the schools the ability to pay the players who earned the money part of that money takes out the last of the deception. Won't have to be "oh, this 17 year old is gonna sell a lot of products for us" when he really isn't. It can be "this player is going to earn a bunch of money for the school, and he'll get a cut." Honesty in college football. Whodathunkit?

NIL isn't distributed. It payments for use of a person's name, image and likeness, and priced based on market demand. Do you think Liv Dunne is getting NIL based on some revenue sharing formula at LSU?

Real NIL is pure capitalism. The bastardized form of NIL for football and basketball, where players are given money that's called NIL, but for which they actually don't work for, is just an excuse to pay players to play their sport. It's booster payments to players, same as it ever was, with a thin veneer of "legality" overlaid, and has absolutely zero to do with "revenue sharing". I mean, what revenue? Tell me what revenue is actually being shared, and the source of that revenue, in NIL for college athletes. I am eager to hear all about it.

This is ALL part of Pandoras Box that was opened by NIL.

In 2022, shortly after the NCAA changed its rules to allow athletes to start making money through NIL deals, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona told ESPN he wanted to get ahead of the foreseeable challenges of determining how Title IX applies to these new opportunities for athletes.

"Some of the concerns I have is that it's going to be the male athletes getting paid and [the] just-as-committed, just-as-hard-working women athletes, not.
(Other revenue sharing, nevermind those programs are takers and not givers to university sports revenue)

Schools in some states have already started channeling university dollars through a third party, which in turn pays athletes for endorsement activities. Many other schools are considering this as a potential model for distributing revenue share dollars in the future.

If there is going to be fairness going forward, the producers will get the lions share of revenue sharing, not the sports that just drain the budget.
