His assignment is to continue the Woke Agenda. F um.
I expect it to become even more businesslike under him. NIL contracts may become way more standardized, which could be good or bad.
Just getting nil under control..... be a big thing
Standardized and business-like are not the same as under control. Make no mistake, he is here to fill seats in as many stadiums as possible and make as much money as possible.
He'll need to contend with state laws that conflict with what the right thing to do is.
Easy. Just make rules and say that anyone who violates them forfeits their eligibility. State laws right now allow pot use yet the NCAA still has rules for maximum THC allowance during testing.
Which has more impact? A rule or a law? If a state has a law that allows pay for play, a rule cannot violate the law. A THC allowance doesnāt say you canāt smoke. Can the NCAA limit the amount of compensation an athlete can earn? Sounds like a court case coming soon.
I would bet you are wrong there. NCAA eligibility is determined by the NCAA. I doubt courts would say the NCAA is held hostage overall by the whims of each little state and jurisdiction it has a school in. We already see that state and NCAA eligibility rules differ in many cases. In the end, any lawsuit will be a push for Congress to step in and implement rules through their Interstate Commerce powers. That may happen anyway.
There are no laws on eligibility. There are laws that vary from state to state on NIL
We're seeing more states pass NIL laws with regard to high school students being paid. Technically, I lost my amatuer status (golf) when I was in high schoolāI wasn't good enough to play college golf at the timeābut never the less, I had no eligibility left due to being paid.
And there is the point. NIL can be tied to eligibility by the NCAA. Break these NCAA NIL rules and lose your eligibility. States laws won't matter there as far as eligibility is concerned. That is the NCAA power. Not that they can ban a kid from making money, but they can say if you do it outside of these rules you are not allowed to play.
That is an issue. The NCAA does not have the power to overrule a law. Any state that has a law allowing NIL can enforce it. If the NCAA tries to enforce their rules that violate the law, they are violating the rights of the athlete. This has never been an issue in the past because there were no laws, only rules that member institutions of the NCAA agreed to follow. If those rules violate the law . . .
I think the NCAA will fold like a cheap suit if there are legal challenges to any attempt to rein in NIL money.
Good points
