This is a deep dive on this week's NCAA Convention from Matt Brown at Extra Points. Lots of NIL and enforcement stuff in here including why they haven't done more on NIL issue. I think this is paywalled but I can't tell because I'm a subscriber. (~$)

While the NCAA cannot enforce current rules, either fir fear or litigation or a need to penalize 88% of schools with Death Penalty, the NCAA can do two things to hold member institutions in check. One, require student athletes to use an NCAA certified/approved agent. Second give a stop dead date that NIL deals cannot be linked to pay-4-play.

The NCAA has authority to validate student athletes eligibility and govern NIL under this asoect of rules to keep players eligible while promoting abikity to capitalize on NIL. Further, the NCAA can penalize students, coaches, schools, and/or boosters that create pay-4-play incentives and take away some arguments that athletes are university employees.

After no action on Sean Miller, you can get away with murder & the NCAA won't do a thing.

except for Texas as wife beating is still a firing offense.

This has got to be a rules violation.

It is. It doesn't matter much if there's no one to enforce it.

This has got to be a rules violation.

other players are saying that they have been approached as well.It is a violation as it is tampering. Only after you are in the portal can they legally be contacted. How will that work out.

This is a pretty telling look of what NIL is doing. This contains anonymous interviews with incoming recruits at the UA All-American game. ($)

Instead of coach taking penalties to next job, make offending coach ineligible for period of penalties

[bearcatbret]

Red--n-black, I agree with you on your topics. Since they make sense, it will never happen. I just do not know how to put the genie back into the bottle. I do not blame a kid for wanting to leave a college if his coach/coaches just left. I like the idea of having the coach stay through the bowl season for the players and university. Just think how it would minimize the domino effect. I think that coaches that get into trouble with one school should be required to take the sanctions with him to any new school. However, I do not think that there are any defined rules to break anymore. It is the wild, wild west and everything goes.

I wish the new NCAA President will do at least the the top two things from this list:

1. Carck down on pay-4-play. My suggestion is simple: You the athlete have every right to your NIL for merchandising or endorsements, so go get an agent that specializes in NIL to handle all of your above board deals. The university nor any booster or booster organization may not take any part in finding NIL opporatunities, or making payments to student-athlete. Any university or booster involvement will subject university, athletic dept, staff, and faculty penalties and fines up to and including loss of 75% of scholarships for a five year period and/or fines up to 75% of total media revenue for each year in which a violation occurs.

2. Student athletes do not have to sit out a year or lose eligibility the first time he/she transfers. Subsequent transfers will require athlete to sit out of all athletic activities for one year after enrollment with loss of algibility.

3. The transfer portal will only be open for all sports for a 45 day period from mid-May through the end of June, exact dates vary each year.

4. Coaches are under contract through the end of post season within their sport. Any university or booster or agent for university or booster that contacts a coach about an opening or potential opening prior to end of that sport season will be subject to tampering penalties which include penalties and/or fines up to and including loss of 75% of scholarships for a five year period and/or fines up to 75% of total media revenue for each year in which a violation occurs.

4a. Concurrent with rule above, active coaches may not be relieved of coaching duties once a season begins until the end of the post season in that sport except for breach of contract related to morals clause, violation of university policy(not related to won/loss performance), and/or violation of any NCAA rules violations. It is up to the university to decide if suspension or being relieved of duty is warranted during the season
