And Lexi can make some money too!


Yeah, but not even 10% of what that LSU gymnast is gonna make. 

Hell, Justin Fields only has 800k followers.

This is gonna get really icky.
A very small handful of NCAA college athletes will make any serious money from legitimate NIL deals.  But I think quite a few will at least be able to make some pocket money, some pizza and beer money, and that's not a bad thing.

The really icky part is going to be the market for recruiting and retaining the talent, paid in bogus licensing contracts.

Or, maybe it won't be that icky.  It's going to eliminate the dirty underhanded dealings and move it all on top of the table, so maybe it's going to end up better than the current situation.

Because there's no longer any need for them?

In the current shady system, all of the street agents and "trainers" and "7 on 7 coaches" and bagmen and other various assorted middle men, take a cut.  But why pay middle men when you can pay the players directly?

well, there are still rules and rules are made to be broken

new trans ams aren't legal but might still encourage a kid to sign

I hope you're right, I'm not convinced

why would the kid work at this new game if he could just be handed a bag full of money?

There's no reason that a new Trans Am can't be given as a benefit for signing a NIL contract with a particular school*.

Sky's the limit, really.

And I expect we're going to see some really crazy Wild Wild West stuff for a while, until the market settles down and sorts itself out.

*(Well, actually, a corporate agent of a booster of the school, but that's nothing more than a technicality now)

no reason until the state or the NCAA steps in, because the wild wild world of sports scares them

1970, Bill Kosch and John Decker admire the Orange Bowl jersey being modeled by Dave Walline. It was the first time players names would accompany their numbers.

Can't speak for Nebraska, but here in Texico the state has already thrown up its hands and made a law legalizing it, they're not about to interfere.  Especially when SCOTUS has already ruled in favor of the athletes and also suggested that they think the athletes could actually make much broader claims than they have so far to date.

And the NCAA can't make any rule that supersedes state or Federal law.

And states that have stricter rules are going to find themselves at a serious disadvantage vis a vis the states that have opened everything up.

So really, the only direction this can possibly go, is even MORE in favor of the athletes, than it already is.  Ain't no turning back now.
