NCAA: Paying the players is just the tip of the iceberg for college sports (usatoday.com)
This was posted today but probably the same information that was posted yesterday.

The NCAA has approved revenue sharing. This should impact the NIL, but to what degree, who knows. You still have supporters who want to win.

Paying players will lower the amount of NIL needed for some players who may not have had inclination or realized their endorsement opportunities. This will mean the more elite recruits (starters and guys who get significant PT) will draw more NIL endorsement deals. NIL will become more important as the elite recruits will have more competition for their services.

From Bucknuts ($) ‘$5 Gs for a 16-year-old?’ … As our Jonah Booker mentioned yesterday on X, Miami running back Mark Fletcher – who was once verbally committed to Ohio State – revealed some interesting information about the 7-on-7 culture in Florida. Fletcher said that kids down there are getting paid $5,000 weekend for playing in 7-on-7 events. Yes, kids are making $45K in three months playing 7-on-7.



--- This is why Ohio has been trying to lift the ban on 7 on 7 and spring ball. The talented kids leave the state for the money. What caused Chris Henry to leave Withrow and go to California.. The kids have been leaving for years. UC basketball has a couple of locals who did play out of state.

I wonder if a buy-out clause can be written into the NIL contracts.

Does revenue sharing eliminate the NIL in the near future??????

No. The Supreme Court ruled that college (and high school, I imagine) athletes have a right to their NIL, just as professionals do. Pros are paid by their clubs and also do TV ads, sign autographs, etc. Now, so can college players.

That is why they are going down to high school. I do believe that the fat cats will fight to keep the NIL so they can pay more than what revenue sharing will do. People want winning teams.

Peyton Houston, a class of 2027 high school quarterback, signed a "life-changing" NIL deal with Leaf despite never starting a high school game.--- The thing is that they are selling his autographed card for $70 with the buyer hopes he turns into the next big thing. The card would be valuable perhaps. Interesting as we see more gambling and sports. lol -- Will some of these 14 year olds be able to handle the fame and fortune. What about their parents? What about their teammates? How will this work with their coaches? Will we see more transfers to bigger schools with great coaching? If so, what will this do to the local high schools. I realize many will say this is only a few getting this, but this is the tip of the iceberg.

This was bound to happen eventually. NIL based lawsuit by a player against a university.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw this. It was probably inevitable.

Regardless of whether or not this particular lawsuit is successful, these types of things, along with the transfer portal, can serve as regulators in the NIL space. Perhaps more than the NCAA itself.

If I was a willing large-scale donor, I would be a lot more selective/cautious of $'s flowing knowing that my "donation" can walk out the door to another university, or that I could be sued by disgruntled former prospects.

Urban Meyer on the Lou Holtz podcast via Eleven Warriors

“America is built on name and likeness,” Meyer explained. “If Lou Holtz or Urban Meyer or Marvin Harrison Jr. and C.J. Stroud want to go use their name and help sell cars or help a business, that’s great. But to have a 17-year-old demand money for a visit or to pay these players a lot of money to go visit a charity for 20 minutes and they write a check for $50,000, that’s cheating. That’s not what this is all about. I’m very disappointed in where it went.”
After some back-and-forth banter with Holtz, Meyer criticized the role of collectives in college sports.

“If you’re a woman basketball player like the great girl from Iowa (Caitlin Clark) and they want to put her on a billboard and pay her, they should be able to do that,” he said. “But that’s not what happened. What’s happened is the arms race of collecting money from donors and the donors are simply paying players. That’s what I understand is happening, and I don’t like that.”

But let’s face it. That’s the reality in college athletics.
