"We're not going to pay the guy we didn't pay ever again!"

oh no

I cannot tell if they are still pretending that the school is not officially part of NIL.

I realize I’m old and all that, but does anyone else cringe at the thought of a casino in Vegas (with a huuuge sportsbook) ponying up to pay a player, then covering the action on his replacement and the games?? Everyone knows the shady “no-show” jobs and bagmen were/are a thing forever, but this might just be the ultimate over-the-line scenario I’ve seen. Just my opinion, but damn. Just do away with the “amateur” label and pay the players.

If NIL had been created by the committee they would have probably banned certain industries from sponsoring players; unsavory industries like gambling, ATF, MJ, that the schools do not want to be associated with.  

 

I don't think that would happen now though.  It would be absolutely unfair to a school like UNLV.

Oh, goody. The federal government will definitely fix everything that’s wrong with CFB. What could go wrong?!?

Well, I tend to dislike federal solutions to a lot of problems, particularly when they are pure pandering and something that should be left to the states, e.g, most federal criminal legislation of the last 30-40 years.

But NIL screams for a uniform nationwide rule.  And it does actually affect interstate commerce in a meaningful way,  unlike the subjects of a lot of federal legislation.

And, I am not so sure the actual substance of the rules matters so much as there is one set of rules for everyone to follow.

On the matter of casinos, alcohol, tobacco, etc. here's Nevada's rule:

An institution may:

(a) Adopt a policy that imposes reasonable restrictions on a student athlete entering into a contract pursuant to section 6 of this act that provides for the student athlete to be compensated for the use of the name, image or likeness of the student athlete with an organization or person whose goods, services or mission are contrary to the mission of the institution; and

Compare with Texas':

(2)  may not enter into a contract for the use of the

 student athlete's name, image, or likeness if:

                     * * *

                    (B)  the compensation for the use of the student

 athlete's name, image, or likeness is provided:

                          * * *

                          (iv)  in exchange for an endorsement of

 alcohol, tobacco products, e-cigarettes or any other type of

 nicotine delivery device, anabolic steroids, sports betting,

 casino gambling, a firearm the student athlete cannot legally

 purchase, or a sexually oriented business as defined in Section

 243.002, Local Government Code;

Doesn’t affect interstate commerce in any meaningful way, we don’t need the feds dictating what kind of contracts people can sign simply because they’re athletes, and it sure as fuck isn’t screaming for intervention. Maybe the feds can go after states without an income tax, too, if they think that affects where people decide to work.

The feds need to go after shoe contracts, Allstate commercials, or whatever other advertising athletes get paid for or are they just going to stick to college?

Considering USC just signed a partnership agreement with Cookies CBD/wellness/cannabis (shhhh) company, that hatch has been thoroughly breached. No NIL contracts yet, but hold on.
