gehringer_2 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 What can't go on usually doesn't. This looks to me like the end of NIL - at least as the main show. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5510354/2024/05/23/house-v-ncaa-settlement-votes/ The revenue sharing would be an optional model for power-conference programs, potentially as soon as next year, in which 22 percent of those schools’ average annual revenue — or roughly $20 million a year — would be distributable directly to athletes.

To that point, are we naive enough to think that NIL has caused all moneys to be above table now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way - before NIL, if the base was just a student's stipend, then the booster money of a few $M could dwarf that. Then NIL made it worse as some schools raised 7 figures and some almost nothing. With the 22% diversion fund, If UM starts at $20M+, even if OSU's boosters kick in $5M more than UM's do so you end up with say $30M vs $35M, that difference is a much smaller % difference in total cash available than the old system with clean(er) teams and dirt(ier) teams. which is why I phrased it as the outside money no longer being the main show.

gehringer_2 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 another shoe drops - all transfer limitations and restrictions dropped. I can't imagine what people are thinking the future they are creating is going to look like, other than chaos. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5530608/2024/05/30/ncaa-transfer-rules-banned-permanently/ Quote A consent decree announced Thursday makes that policy change permanent, allowing athletes to transfer an unlimited number of times without penalty. It also requires the NCAA to restore a year of eligibility for current athletes who missed a year of competition since 2019-20 due to the old policy.

gehringer_2 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 50 minutes ago, buddha said: it will look like professional sports free agency, which is what it is. right - with the twist that every player is on an expiring one-yr deal. 😱 Next season are we going to see the first highly ranked player start the season playing for one team and finish the same season playing for another? Say maybe a guy decides to bolt because he his team loses a couple and fall out of playoff contention? 🤯 Edited May 31 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any athletes that are still in college and had to sit out a year in the past for a transfer will get an extra year of eligibility. This means that Utah QB Cam Rising could in theory stay for an 8th year in college next year. Edited May 31 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
