I remember the days when you got penalties for serious stuff like selling text books and trading game jerseys for tattoo's.

I have a friend who was an assistant on a college soccer team back in the 1990s.

A thunderstorm came up suddenly so he threw a few of the players and their bikes into his truck and drove them home.

He was informed by the athletic department that he had to report a possible improper benefit to the players for providing them unauthorized transportation.

That's how absurd the NCAA was/is.

They'd rather he let them walk or ride bikes home with lightening crashing all around them.

Makes a lot of sense.

The dude that took the Alabama players fishing was a Barn booster. He was TRYING to cause problems for them. That was part of what they called Operation Red Dog...

Contracts would go a long way to remedy this

 

[Joefus]

I mean you can sue for anything doesn’t mean you’ll win. If his lawyer is worth a darn he’ll be looking for a settlement. I can’t see any legal standing unless there’s a very juicy discovery

Are there currently no contracts? I would be shocked if a business brought on a high-profile college player to use their NIL for their business in exchange for $$$ didn't have some basic form of a contract.

I think this "deal" was with the "collective" at UF and not a business. Do these collectives issue W2's and how is this money taxed?

And if the schools aren't supposed to be making $ offers what does this say:

You're correct but the ESPN article states a "terminated" contract by the UF Collective. So there had to be a contract

 

[Toddrn]

Honest question.

What's so bad about the NFL?

I think they put out a terrific product.

It's not a team sport. No loyalty on either side. Players are more concerned about highlight reels than winning. Taylor Swift. NFL is way too woke, etc, etc, etc.

When are the fans gonna get paid!

By betting with FanDual and picking the winners. Lol

View attachment 42455

If there was indeed a contract, then there would be a penalty built in to terminate the contract.

 

[JDCrimson]

Well of course he did, he encouraged Maurice Smith to sue Saban, UA, and the SEC to have immediate eligibility within the conference. It was this whole saga that i think destroyed the relatuonship between Saban and Smart moreso than stealing recruitng lists and playbooks...

Article mentions Kirby signed off on the lawsuit.

Geeze, what a clown.

Can anything really come of this lawsuit, or is this just a bluff to settle ? Florida could not want the curtain pulled back, but what can/would the NCAA do?

 

[JDCrimson]

Well, they offer Talia $1.5mm and he said no so I dont believe anything he says...

This is what I want to know. There’s a lot of college kids about to learn a hard lesson I’m afraid. They’ll scream and cry “discrimination” and the IRS won’t care a bit. Probably the first time they’ve run into an immovable entity who told them tough luck buttercup.

I'm done. My monetary contribution won't amount to a hill of beans and my focus is retirement. Ridiculous.

Will continue to cheer for the Tide. Adios!!

Here is the nut cuttin’ reality: We dye in the wool, tried and true fans of the game are THE VERY LAST consideration in any of this. College football, the game itself, is no longer the product. Entertainment and “eyes on screens” is what matters. You think the NFL cares that half of their audience on their biggest event of the year only tune in for commercials or see how many times the TV pans on Taylor Swift? This is where college football is headed,

Look back at the changes in college game the last 30-40 years Many of us “long in the tooth” Tide fans could appreciate a 14-10 “defensive struggle” if it was between two well coached, disciplined teams executing at a high level. But fans that weren’t “nuanced” in how they viewed the game found it “boring”. But they understood scoring and found that “exciting”. Changes to the game, regardless of whatever BS you were given by the NCAA rules committee, were about increasing scoring. Plain and simple. More about viewership and entertainment and not “the good of the game”.

This is the next step in the transformation of college football. I believe that before they “throw the dirt over me” at the end of my days, colleges will have basically professional teams carrying a “university” as its “brand” and leagues set up like the premier league in soccer.

And as each season passes, I’ll care less and less. But that won’t matter. Because my viewership, my fandom is no longer important.
