I just checked - all US states and DC have at-will employment. Can they even have binding contracts that tie players down?
There are now 0 Restrictions in regards to NIL

- Start date
This is going to start out with football, 60 some teams outside the NCAA.
Their will still be a B10 for the other sports to play in.
Player/employee signed a contract for 3-4 years. Non compete clause and a buy out amount. If a school breaks a rule the league of 60 votes them out, cuts their TV money, suspended from post season bowl games and championship. I'm sure the SEC group of the league would vote as a block to sit Michigan out for a year.
They're an employee hired to be a quarterback. Just like all the coaches are employees under contract that can be renewed or terminated.
You are not going to stop kids from making money. You going to form a league where kids have their part time jobs regulated? Which is in theory you are trying to do by having a non NIL league.
So you have this non NIL league, let’s assume Iowa is in the non NIL league and develops a clear deluxe stud at QB, he will leave instantly for the NIL league.
All you accomplished was creating a farm system for the NIL schools.
You lose in court all day every day if you think you are going to stop a non NIL kid from transferring to a NIL school.

The student athletes should never get the blame here. Asking a 4 star now to sign just to get a pat on the back from Kirk is gone. Pay them their money. Blame the NCAA for their ineptitude.

Based on these numbers Iowa is the least profitable athletic dept. In the BIG outside of RU and MD ( who are not getting full share of BIG media cash).Food for thoughtNCAA Finances: Athletic department – Revenue and Expenses by School - B10 2022-23
Total Expenses
Note on Total Allocated: The sum of student fees, direct and indirect institutional support and state money allocated to the athletics department, minus certain funds the department transferred back to the school. The transfer amount cannot exceed the sum of student fees and direct institutional support that the department receives from the school. (Under NCAA reporting rules, any additional money transferred to the school cannot be considered part of the department’s annual operating revenues or expenses.)
Income Notes – from 2017 to 2019 the Athletic dept transferred 2Million to the school.
So with a net income of less that 250k how is Iowa supposed to pay the players more?
If we were in the new era of athletes as employees Iowa will be in trouble as we have no cushion at all to pay players.
Now the new media deal will help but we will still lag behind most everyone else in the BIG.
The vast majority of d-1 programs do not have BIG or SEC media money and are in the red.
+1,000,000
The NCAA chose not to be pro-active. They chose to let the process play out and they lost. The NCAA should be dissolved, they have zero power or credibility. This is all because of their lack of foresight.
And it will happen in D3, I’m fairly confident it already is. Some of the private D3 schools have significant alumni/boosters to make payments happen. High schools are next.
OK please don't chastise me for my ignorance but... since NIL I have not heard of an athlete that transferred being academically ineligible. I understand that college football is becoming the feeder system for the NFL but are these "students" still required to be full time students and remain academically eligible?
Disagree. This was always going to be a loser in the courts at some point.
No different than a kid creating a phone app and making money while in college.
“NIL makes watching college football less enjoyable” isn’t something to build a legal case around.

It's not that though. It's more that everyone with a functioning brain knew exactly what NIL was going to turn into and why it wasn't worth going down that road.
A lot of sports need to be eliminated. When do the women sports start demanding a lot of money?
I remember when I first heard about it and thought, "this is obviously going to be used to buy recruits, that's why its always been against the rules"
There's no way to separate the two.
Oh yeah, they're done. It's just a matter of time. They don't serve a purpose anymore and they're weak leadership is ultimately to blame.
Yeah, especially when they are given money and and an eating plan by the school, gotta eat those 3lb pancheros burritos.
Just a reminder that ANYTHING goes right now when it comes to the portal and NIL....
Meechie Johnson, South Carolina's leading scorer, entered the transfer portal & it looks like Ohio State is interested.
The 6-2 guard averaged 14.1 PTS, 4.1 REB, and 2.9 AST this season. @pepsicock , have you heard anything? Guessing there's been tampering as well.

Have to agree 💯 with you on this one … selling your souls to the devil is never good
He's going to Ohio St. and yes there was tampering with him. Good player but he is either on or off when it comes to shooting. Paris will probably get another guard. and we got a good high school player Eli Ellis
Good luck getting that done. Some of CF big boys - that are now in control and getting what they want - will block it. My question ----- how much longer will the CFB players be part of the student body and even attend classes. CF is a TOTAL JOKE right now
I've heard they are already. Bet your bottom dollar they're driving a couple big name school NILs.
They should not be part of the "student" body any longer, they should be employees. Most schools won't hold grades to any standard when the players can just jump ship any time they want.
NIL has completely f'd any chance at parity anymore.
