There needs to be team caps for NIL money

4

Dec 22, 2024, 4:53 PM

Ever since I got the e-mail about contributing to the 110 Society, I have been very conflicted. Since NIL has, in my opinion, spiraled out of control, I would be contributing to very thing that I think is ruining college football. The portal and NIL money have combined in a very bad way. In my pseudo-fixed retirement income, I am truly just about tapped out with my IPTAY donations. For the last couple of years, I have considered going up a level in IPTAY seeing it as "the last time." I think that I am going to do that instead of the 110 Society. If for no other reason, to somewhat protect my seating and parking from BIG 110 Society donors who will be getting IPTAY points for their donations. I think that an NIL cap should be set based on the average college team NIL total. Otherwise, the college teams with the largest/richest alumni base will DOMINATE college football even more. Heck, even the NFL finally set a team salary cap!

It's unfair to people that have less money for you to make as much as you do. Let's cap your salary at, let's say, 33% of what you currently make.

Don't like the idea of a third party butting in to your private business deals? That's exactly what you are advocating for others.

logical fallacy.

“Other unfair competitive advantages may come from your ability to attract a dream team, get exclusive access to distribution channels based on your previously forged relationships, or to secure endorsements and support from recognized experts.“

If there wasn’t one; all of the elite players in the NFL would be playing for the Cowboys or Panthers. You don’t think Jerrah woulda paid Patrick mahomes 100M/year to get him down to the star?

TX had never made a playoff and hadn’t won a conference title in 20 years until NIL became legal; now bam they got a title and back to back playoff appearances. Anyone who went to Austin this weekend, and saw how many resources they have, can tell you that only a handful of teams will ever be able to compete with them if something doesn’t change. Some measure of competitive balance is needed for a sports league to remain viable. If 10 years from now only 5 or 6 teams are competing for the largest prize then the whole product will lose most of it’s value.

In all pro sports.

What’s happening in CFB isn’t true compensation for the value of a player’s NIL and you know that. The incoming QB for Michigan for example is getting reportedly 14M from Larry Ellison to sign with the school. Are you expecting him to be the next spokesperson for Oracle? Do you think he even knows what oracle, SQL, an ERP, or a data warehouse is? Most NFL QBs don’t have endorsements that high; for example Kyler Murray, who has been pro for 6 years, makes about 3.5M a year in endorsements. It’s pay for play pure and simple and EVERY pro league in the country tightly governs that.

There is protection against recruiting for dollars. NIL is not being used as so. Players are being paid to attend schools. NOT to endorse a product. That’s what you don’t understand is broken. Texas boosters have paid individual players millions to leave other schools and play there (Makuba) and there is NO product he’s endorsing. Just the back of the check. That’s what’s broken. Why is it so hard to understand? Sure, let’s see them on commercials earning a salary for their NIL. NIL right now IS NOT THAT. What product or company is any of our players or ANY big name player representing? Few and far between.

Yes but you are talking about payroll. And collective bargaining.

NIL is not that. It’s a private agreement, not employment, and cannot be limited by anyone, anywhere, in any field of business.

Dec 23, 2024, 8:49 AM

A collectively bargained agreement in some fashion with the players is the only way I see going forward.

The last part of your statement is inaccurate there are absolutely conditions and limitations placed on endorsements by the NFL, because their collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA allows for it. For example there are certain products, like banned supplements, that players are not allowed to promote. There are also measures in place to prevent endorsements from being used as a means to circumvent the cap.

Dec 23, 2024, 10:29 AM

the NFLPA has been given the right by it’s members, the players, to set limits and rules on endorsements. Under those rules the NFL can make sure that the starting QB for the New England patriots doesn’t have a 10M/year endorsement deal with Gillette razors; which could be used to circumvent the salary cap.

NIL deals for pro athletes can be limited to exclude things like alcohol, gambling, smoking, marijuana, etc. That's included in their contracts.

The South Carolina law bans NIL for "... tobacco, alcohol, illegal substances or activities, banned athletic substances, or gambling including, but not limited to, sports betting."

I wish there were a salary cap for NIL but there’s no way to do that legally. By definition, NIL is players being paid for their name, image and likeness, and in theory those funds do not come from the schools. The problem is Clemson is not a large wealthy school and as NIL money explodes, Clemson is gonna fall outside the top 25 from a revenue generating perspective and eventually from a performance perspective.

As I understand it, the new settlement creates a “clearing house” to monitor NIL deals. That should be a big help in bringing the pay for play mercenary thing under control. They will have to declare the Player X is receiving market value for the deal he is getting. No more paying players $10 million to do a local radio commercial

Re: There needs to be team caps for NIL money

Dec 22, 2024, 5:56 PM

The rules have always been that deals have to be legitimate, at fair market value, and cannot be used as a recruiting enticement. But they haven't enforced the rules at all yet. With the settlement and the football players splitting up 16-21 million a year, they will have to enforce the NIL rules. The less than a handful of guys on national commercials will get most of the NIL money, just like it is with pro athletes.

They can still condition eligibility. An NIL deals that says the QB gets $1 million dollars for playing all games and not transferring is against the rules as they stand now. He can accept the money, but the NCAA can rule him ineligible for that illegitimate deal, just like they can rule him ineligible for gambling (in a state where it's legal), drugs, grades, etc.

It's not going to work because it's unfair. The poorer school won't sign onto it if the cap is far above what they can muster and the more wealth schools will not sign onto it if the cap suits the smaller schools.

I believe what might work is a cap on player payments if that didn't result in the return of the Bagman.
