Today in can of worms lawsuits, NIL collective at Oregon gets sued by Title IX plaintiffs

Also, saw an article today that top players at their schools are staying in college longer now than they would have previously because the NIL money is more than they would make on an NFL rookie contract. If you're headed to the pros and don't have 1- 3 round grade, you make more in college. Eventually, this is probably going to reset the rookie contract market in the NFL and owners will be pissed about it.

This may affect basketball more than football. However, either way, it is going to hurt high school players.

I just read this. While it is new to me, I am sure many have guessed it.

“It's a mess,” our source said. “Contact points are all over the map. A lot of team aren't even talking to the guys they’re recruiting and high school coaches are basically out of the picture right now. You gotta deal with NIL agents who are taking upwards of 20-percent from kids. So the agents purposely get schools into bidding wars with each other.” -- “Street agents are tampering with players on current rosters,” our source said. “If they can get a guy to transfer, they get a cut. You have players who haven't even entered the portal officially yet and they already know where they are going.” (247 sports)

Case in point QB Max Johnson at A&M declared for the portal, which isn't open yet, and 24 hours later committed to UNC. What's the point of the portal if stuff like this is going to happen?

I was wondering what kind of report the players and schools have to do about the reporting of money and NIL deals? I did suspect that there is a whole lot of tampering with active players by others outside of the team.

Rayvon Griffith is one of 17 athletes across various men's and women's college sports to partner with Dunkin' for an NIL deal https://www.on3.com/nil/news/paige-b...ign-learfield/

Not sure if we are tracking NIL stuff still, but looks like Dan Skillings has a deal with Medpace

He does and I think Corleone or Vann might also.

So according to this newletter ($) and a quoted USA Today article therein, Congress had an agreement on an NIL bill done until "several legislators" tried to kick the HBCUs out of D1 football. And that's where the deal fell apart.

NCAA trying claw back some power on NIL.

Several internet folks have pointed that they’re directing the schools to ignore the various state NIL laws and only listen to them. Pretty blatantly bad legal advice there by whoever is representing the NCAA.

A couple of things out there from Chris Vannini and also On3 stating that the IRS is telling NIL collectives that they are not tax exempt. I’ll get links up later for those donating to Cincy Reigns. It looks this is guidance so far and not a final decision.

Nick Saban had some opinions on NIL money today. Basically, he sees greater inequality based on NIL spending. “You think there’s disparity in college football right now? There’s going to be a lot more in the future.” https://sports.yahoo.com/nick-saban-...211928272.html
