I think implementing of the Name, Image, & Likeness (NIL) provisions are the first step toward Pay For Play provisions particularly for those athletes in revenue producing sports.
The link is to a USA Today article that I think provides an excellent analysis of what's coming.
Personally, I have thought within the past 10 years or so that it was just a matter of time before something like this was brought to the table.
Your thoughts.

Why Supreme Court ruling has NCAA council scrambling on NIL vote (usatoday.com)

[houtiger]

I have long thought that the NCAA was too restrictive in not allowing college athletes to earn money.  The disparity between the top coaches at 6 or 7 million per year, but the star athletes get a scholarship, room and board, its too great a disparity. 

With that said, it is going to be very hard to keep an even playing field (pun intended) between the universities.  If you have a big name and advertising potential, would you rather play for USC or LSU?  The bigger money will probably be in LA.  Or maybe Notre Dame with advertising out of Chicago.  Or Syracuse with ads out of NYC.

I don't know, maybe the NCAA can come up with a scheme to equalize things, but as they say, show me a scheme and I'll show you how to game it.

As they said in Jurassic Park when they rebooted the security system, "hang on to your butts"!

A wonderful idea that makes people feel good, in my view almost possible to implement and subject to abuse.

Elaborate please.

I guess what you see is what you get.

Overall, I think the ruling is a step in the right direction but I don't think the courts are finished.

I can remember coaches getting penalized by the NCAA for buying a kid a hamburger when his family's trailer burned down, etc.,. Stupid Nazi shit right there.

By the same token, I don't think the NCAA should go full bore with professional paid athletes.

Kids should be able to have spending money to be college students and they absolutely should be able to earn money from their own likeness and notoriety. What I'd love to see is athletes get money put into a trust fund that they get either when they get their degree or 10 years after they leave school if they don't get their degree.

So is recruiting now going to escalate into a bidding war between schools related to how much a kid can make if they sign with that school?

yes.

[Hatchertiger]

Wonder if it will also create friction in the locker room with guys making money v. those who aren't or aren't getting as much.  Will there be pressure on the guys  who make a lot to give to their teammates? I don't like it. Makes me feel like college football / athletics is crumbling beneath my feet.  Can't say they are amateurs any longer.

[houtiger]

It's going to be wild for a while, brave new world.  I would image that a high earning RB may want to share with his o-line, but that might be illegal, the o-line earning on something OTHER than their NIL.  Maybe none of the o-line says anything, for five years.  Eventually it comes out.  Gonna be wild.

  but that might be illegal, 

When did that stop anybody and if its cash how are you going to trace it?  Its gonna be a free for all.

How much would Joe Burrow make from NIL? His father delivers two-word answer

Keith Farner | 3 hours ago

 

 

 

The Burrow family did not shy away from commenting on the news of the day related to name, image and likeness in college sports, and how athletes could profit while still in college.

Jimmy Burrow told Jacques Doucet that his son, Joe, the former LSU star, would’ve made “a lot” of money if this structure was in place in 2019 or before when he starred at LSU and led the Tigers to a national championship.

Joe himself also weighed in as he said he was “most excited” for non-scholarship athletes who may have been working jobs outside of sports to make ends meet. He called the significant change, “long overdue.”

Burrow is, of course, an Ohio native and known for arguably the most successful single season ever by a college QB. He was taken No. 1 overall pick by Cincinnati after he won the 2019 Heisman Trophy by the largest margin in the 85-year history of the award, and led LSU to a perfect 15-0 record and National Championship.

Myles Brennan, Sevyn Banks ink NIL deals with Raising Cane's

NIL Era Arrives: Do Pros Far Outweigh Cons? (Late Kick Cut)

 

 

Two other high-profile college football players have joined Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler in the chicken business, announcing this week dual partnerships with fast-food chain Raising Cane's. LSU signal caller Myles Brennan and Ohio State cornerback Sevyn Banks are the latest to partner with marketing company Get Engaged and join the chicken fingers joint to kick-off the name, image and likeness era in college football.

Rattler has already unveiled his first branding logo this week, an interlocking "SR" name insignia  complete with a rattlesnake graphic. Rattler ranked No. 1 in 247Sports' "players projected to benefit most during NIL era" lookahead this week for his obvious star-power and social reach. Brennan is battling Max Johnson for starting quarterback honors for the Tigers this season while Banks is slated to be one of the Big Ten's most-feared defenders in the secondary with the Buckeyes.

Banks had an opportunity to leave Ohio State early after his junior campaign last fall, but chose to return as a focal point at the back end of the defense. In 2020, Banks moved into a starting role at corner and led the Buckeyes with seven pass break-ups. Banks also had an interception that he returned for 38 yards in the College Football Playoff semifinal win over Clemson, a fumble recovery and was eighth on the team in tackles with 23 (19 solo).

Brennan was a full participant in spring practice after missing much of last season with a knee injury in Baton Rouge.

Tigers new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz is leading the room as LSU looks to return to the high-powered offense from the 2019 season. Head coach Ed Orgeron is pleased with the approach from the former Carolina Panthers assistant with his group and the competitors seem to be taking to Peetz.

"They meet with Jake, they like Jake. Jake is very detailed, he's a very good teacher. They love his system," Orgeron said in April. "He gets on their behind when he needs to and they love it. He's very fair. He grades everything in practice, we have everything graded. It's a tough competition right now, but that's the way it's supposed to be.

"This is the best quarterback room we've had since I've been here."

Orgeron outlined his plan for LSU's quarterback situation at the conclusion of spring ball. Option No. 3, T.J. Finley, has since transferred to Auburn.

“I think that's going to be a process during camp. I don't know what part of camp it's going to happen, but we're going to have to give the first or second guy more reps to see who's going to be the starter," Orgeron said after the spring game.

LSU Athletes Begin Announcing Endorsement Deals as Louisiana is Set to Sign NIL Poilicy

From quarterback Myles Brennan to cornerback Derek Stingley, a look at announced endorsements

The announcements started to roll in immediately on Thursday morning. They weren't transfer portal announcements, or commitments and decommitments you see across college athletics. 

They were endorsement deal announcements as Louisiana is officially set to pass NIL legislation on July 1, allowing LSU athletes to capitalize on their name, image and likeness. It's the last piece of the puzzle to become official as LSU had adopted its own passing of NIL policies before governor John Bel Edwards makes it official this afternoon. Earlier this week, the NCAA lifted restrictions on athletes that previously prevented them from making money on their name, image and likeness. 

Some of LSU's most profitable athletes in terms of endorsement deals and social media recognition have announced partnerships with local food chains and other companies. Cornerback Derek Stingley announced a Walk-On's endorsement, quarterback Myles Brennan has partnered with Smoothie King and Small Sliders while wide receivers Kayshon Boutte, Jontre Kirklin and Deion Smith as well as offensive lineman Austin Deculus have teamed up with Yoke gaming.

 

 

Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier will be doing story shoutouts on his Instagram page for $20-50 a piece while several other players have signed up with a Yoke sponsorship. 

Baseball's Cade Beloso will be sponsoring his family's company, Hot Rods Creole while gymnast Olivia Dunne, who has nearly four million social media followers, is expected to be among the highest paid college athletes in the country. These are just a few of the many ways athletes will earn money.

 

 

While these partnerships were announced early in the morning on July 1, nothing could be signed until Bel Edwards made it official on the state level. There is still plenty that needs to be sorted out on what is and isn't allowed in terms of marketing and endorsements. 

For example, in an ESPN article earlier this week, LSU athletics chief operating officer Stephanie Rempe equated NIL with "building an airplane while you're flying." In the piece, Louisiana state law is expected to prohibit athletes from endorsing alcohol like brands such as Budweiser or Dos Equis. But the details behind that include, could an athlete endorse a liquor store or Baton Rouge bar? Those decisions are left in the hands of each school.

In other words, while LSU is one of the most prepared schools in pushing NIL forward, a lot of unknown situations will keep the administration on its toes as it learns more and more about what is and isn't allowed. For many months it was believed that the NCAA or Congress would adopt nationwide rules for all schools but passing NIL federal law proved to be an impossible task, leaving the states and individual schools to hash out the details instead. 

 

 

Athletes will have to work closer than ever with their athletic departments about what is and isn't allowed under their rules and regulations. But in the meantime, LSU athletes announcing endorsement deals will become the new norm. 

In a multi billion dollar industry of college athletics, for the first time the student-athlete will be able to earn money on their name.
