NCAA to Allow Players to be Compensated for their Names, Likenesses, and Images

[Beau Vine 53985]

This is fucking maddening:

1.  The NCAA has a rule saying that athletes may not profit on their NIL.

2.  Lots of states pass laws saying that rule cannot be legally enforced.

3.  The NCAA runs to Congress requesting a federal law so that they won't have to deal with 50 state laws.

If it's really that much of a hassle for the NCAA, they could just remove the rule and that would render all these state laws moot.  Christ, what a massive waste of time and resources.

They should just use the same one they use for coaches.

See, this is already getting weird.  Shark5 is a trademark, basically.  It's not NIL.

Supreme Court rules against the NCAA.

Quote

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the NCAA in a landmark antitrust case that specifically challenged the association’s ability to have national limits on benefits for athletes that are related to education, but more broadly had raised doubts about its ability to limit benefits at all.

The ruling will end the association’s nationwide limits on education-related benefits athletes can receive for playing college sports.

The ruling was unanimous.

Bye bye NCAA. The dust bin of history awaits you.

Why? NIL is something once the player enrolls, have to get the player enrolled first....

Problem is, that's not his name, image or likeness.  That's a trademark.

Name, image, and likeness inherently belong to the player and are inextricably linked to that player.

A trademark is a business property developed by the player.  It's running a business.

It is initially a fine distinction, but players going into business developing brands with only a tangential, if any, relationship to their name, image, or likeness is a mistake.

Cameo is about to have 170,000 new options.

You also know there's going to be a couple players who decide to make their social media subscription based. OnlyFans is about to get A LOT more hilarious.

This whole saga makes me wonder about deep pocketed boosters and business interests around traditionally "non-power" schools - the BYUs, the Harvards, the Stanfords...or destination schools like Hawaii, Miami, NYU - are they going to be able to keep up with the Alabamas and Clemsons and LSUs that have been doing all this stuff above and under the table for years? 

I mean, Harvard could theoretically tap into its $40b endowment and like, PAY people to come to Harvard to play sports, right?

Patreon is basically OnlyFans without the porn. Get paid per YouTube video by your patrons. Generally it ranges from $2-20/video. Star players could easily make $10K+ a week by making one 15 minute video a week. Add tiered subscriptions that add on signed merch, personalized videos, etc.

There’s probably somebody already setting up a business to handle all the filming, editing and posting for 20%.
