More NIL fun!

[GoMuskies]

I don't think that's exactly wrong. The players wouldn't be valued except for the connection to the universities. Given the system the colleges have in place, the players become very valuable.

The University of Miami’s reported $4 million deal to secure Carson Beck as its quarterback exemplifies why the proposed revenue-sharing model and NIL caps for Power 5 conferences are unlikely to succeed.Miami’s aggressive investment in NIL deals shows how the market dynamics of college athletics have fundamentally shifted, making centralized regulation and financial caps impractical.

Question. If a player the caliber of David West was entering the 2025 portal what would he fetch
?. And would it be a multiple of his first year NBA salary of $1.1 M. ?

Xavier Basketball was sure fun. Be happy you partook. You lived through the Glory Years!

Miami is a private university but the school seems to fare well economically football-wise. Didn’t care for the Canes under Jimmy Johnson and certainly have not since but given the history there this rumor is probably true. Just hope Beck fixes that arm tattoo with maybe a traditional heart and “ I love mom” on his bicep. It’s not likely needed to cover lab fees for his physics class. (FWIW: I was a business major and didn’t have to pay any lab fees for Fr. O’Brien’s astronomy class where I was a “star pupil”. Maybe if I had opted for physics then I would appreciate the gravity of matter(s)….

Me, too. Got me to seriously think about a career at NASA…

Not really as my plotting a planet’s orbit using a computer system based on IBM cards and lots of teletype paper just utilized a lot of ink and, as far as I know, my planet still is out there orbiting a yet to be found galaxy far, far away and never to return.

And if it does then maybe I can finally get my grade changed from “Incomplete”.

To the surprises of almost no one, the Dept. of Education has said that NIL payments will fall under Title IX legislation. Meaning that schools must give proportional equal NIL money to women as they do to men. Now, with a new administration coming into power in just a few days, and the changes that will bring to said institution, that mandate may well change very quickly. But in either case IMO it’s almost certainly going to end up being decided by the courts. In fact, there are already several pending court cases started by athletes and outside groups that seek to have the courts mandate equal payments between the sexes. As it stands now the vast majority of schools had planned to spend the vast majority of the money allowed paying the sports that generate the most income….mens football and basketball. The DOE now says that would be illegal.

That could become VERY interesting.

Furthermore, this could very easily derail the agreement that will lead to direct payment by the schools to the athletes.

Somone help me understand how title 9 equals same payments to men and women’s sports? I thought title 9 was only about having the same equal Opportunity, nothing more nothing less. Not a lawyer, but believe the doe is very wrong on this one—-shocking

Proportional support is the key……based on number of athletes participating in intercollegiate sports. Read this…

This is going to lead to schools eliminating many sports IMHO

And how in the hell does Xavier pay the womens bball team that doesnt generate a drop of positive revenue for the school the same amount as the men? Thats absurd

Decisions by governmental departments that do not take financial realities into consideration are why we are several trillion dollars in debt. It’s par for the course when dealing with those people. Absurd is an apt description. But that never stopped them.

Yup. Wonder if anyone predicted that?
