I couldn't agree more! If the schools are paying these kids, then they need to be signed to a contract. Even the NFL wouldn't allow the shenanigans that is occurring in college sports.

The injunction in the Ohio vs NCAA case prohibits the NCAA or it's member institutions from restricting or interfering with transfers in any way.

A contract would be exactly that kind of restriction.

The truth is, he took a look at the Clemson depth chart on the DL which is loaded with Freshmen and Sophomores and saw that he probably was not going to get PT here so he bolted. Simple as that. You are going to have to be mighty good to come in to Clemson and play early on our DL.

The UNC deal was selective enforcement by the NCAA. They claimed that the athletes weren't going to class.

Academics are a completely separate issue from transfers and decomittments.

SCOTUS ruled the NCAA violated the Sherman Act....

The NCAA, coaches, and member institutions are working on stricter standards that will bring this chaos under control.... The new standards will just have to pass legal muster....

Agree NIL is not only ruining college sports but it is having a negative effect on the futures of college athletes. Some care more about NIL $$$$$$ than their education and their ability to grow into men of Character and integrity.

I am grateful that Dabo has not sold out like so many coaches, recruits and college athletes. It sad that even many moms and dads are so focused on their kids NIL opportunities and their earning potential. I feel NIL has had a negative effect on Clemson’s recruiting and the importance of our Culture.

The fantasy idealism part of me would like for the NIL and the ability of all college students … whether on scholarship or not … to have an outside job or an outside source of legal income to not interfere with college football as I had known it.

The rational realism aspect of me recognizes that there is only one way for colleges to force a return to amateur-only sports in college:

Acceptance conditions for the college that preclude all students from having any outside jobs, outside sources of income, and monetary stipends for students from any source (including parents or relatives or clubs or churches, etc). Co-operative student job programs, in which students take a semester off to work for a non-university entity as a means of getting work experience, could only be done if the co-op student did not get paid or receive benefits-in-kind (such as a motorcycle, car, gasoline card, etc) compensation. Any and all money that the student gets is from the college, and that monetary disbursement is equal for all students.

The rationale for the college which adopts this strict ‘no outside money’ policy would be that outside jobs or monetary gifts are distractions from the academic purpose of the college, and therefore are prohibited.

Of course, no college that aspires to compete in college athletics will agree to this type of setup.

Also, there is nothing that forces any college to pay either arrange for NIL money or to provide flat-out monetary gifts to the student athlete. Yet, because college athletics has become enormously important to so many colleges, there will be very few colleges that adopt a ‘we won’t do it’ approach, although even these schools won’t be able to stop a car dealership from ‘hiring’ an athlete who attends that school from being given a ‘job’ to have his photograph posted by the coffee machine.

It’s never going back to the way it used to be. Our sentiments on this don’t matter. Our legal system was challenged to address the plantation-esque traditional student athlete model, and correctly ruled that it was unfair to the student athletes. Selfishly, I liked it the old way. Being fair, the new way is better.

Ruined? Not true. At least not yet, and not for several more years.

Altered irrevocably? Absolutely true. The ‘alteration’ of the financial / media / college sports model has just begun.

IMO, the business model for college athletics will be hurt significantly by the NIL + soon-to-be direct salaries paid to college athletes. At this instance in time, the Disney (ESPN) and Fox/FS-1 contracts are big and getting bigger. These contracts are predicated upon a growing and increasingly passionate population of viewers.

That predicate will be upended as fans of those schools that can no longer compete lose interest in college football and men’s basketball.

As the TV / streaming audiences deteriorate, then so will the value of the contracts paid to the NCAA or whatever rump of that organization becomes. Then, the downward spiral has begun. Where it stops, nobody knows.

In the issue of direct salaries, private NIL will still exist outside of that.

I liked college football better when it was run like communist. Everyone on the team received "free" room, board, and tuition. No player was permitted to receive anything extra. It didn't matter if you were Deshaun Watson or the holder for the field goal.

I am being serious. It was better when it was that way.

in comparison to a typical student.

They didn't/don't pay at restaurants, bars, clothes, shoes..everything is comped even the bench warmers are afforded this VIP treatment even those on a 3 win squad for an SEC cellar dwellar.
Witnessed this reality numerous times in both Pickens and Richland counties and have no problem with it but the narrative about the poor, exploited college football player is and always has been a lie.
