If the money is coming from a collective and they aren’t getting the money by being “employed” is it taxable? I haven’t heard. Obviously if the money is for what NIL was supposed to be, there would be income tax on it.

Sorry, it is possible. You can go out to the sponsors section of any School's NIL website and designate where and who your money goes to. You can list every athlete on campus and just get them to make an appearance, sigh autographs, do a group camp or offer free training sessions. As long as the "sponser" has a legitimate business that can visibly promote the athlete they are paying and promote what they are doing for your business, you could give whatever you want to whomever you want.

Lets say I wanted to give every athlete 10k and set up a meet the Bama athletes day in the quad. Get pics and autographs with your favorite athlete. All the athletes will also be doing shout outs on the radio, which will be turned into a pod cast at a later date. All of the athletes will be wearing my companies' buttons on their uniform tops. Each athlete will also give you a promotional flyer for a % off at my business.

I just knocked out 5 of the 7 ways to promote athletes in one day.

Of course that's possible, but you missed the point - NIL is about a player's name, image, or likeness. Of course, one can skirt the spirit of the rules and make it available, but the ruling isn't saying it's legal to pay players, it's that they cannot be prohibited to monetize their NIL.

Of course it happens all the time - we've seen it. But it cannot happen within the confines of what the ruling was about.

Of course there will be those who will try to find ways to monetize everything.

Not possible, as NIL is supposed to be a player monetizing their name, image, or likeness. It's NOT supposed to be a salary for every player, though payouts from something like a new NCAA CFB video game should be dispersed to all roster participants, imo.

What the NIL decision is supposed to mean is Jalen Milroe can monetize (get paid) for appearances in TV commercials / print ads, can sell his own like of clothes / cologne / whatever on earth he wants, making money based on his name, image, or likeness. It's NOT supposed to be about 'collectives' and other such nonsense that has nothing to do with NIL and everything to do with paying players.

If you’re not winning football games and championships, what’s the point of being at USC?

I do think the CBS article I skimmed kind of hinted at USC looking around, almost like Nelson here wasn’t a slam dunk replacement.

agreed, but then these guys transfer to Syracuse or Nebraska.... they certainly aren't winning anything there!!!

I 100% agree, it seems like the rules keep getting stretched more as time passes.
 
Does anyone think there may be a "market correction" next year with the collectives and/or schools as it relates to players making demands? It seems this year there are more stories about star players (QB's especially) holding the team/collectives hostage with the "take my ball and go home" mentality.

How would teams/coaches accept a guy who held is last team hostage and not think the same thing would happen at the new school? Nothing really stopping them from deciding during the season to stop playing vs. end of year.

Would NIL installment contracts be an alternative? Or performance based contracts with a base amount?

Maybe the "love and pageantry" for college football may divert to division 2 schools?

My take is pretty simple.

#1Players deserved to get paid in a legal manner, because it was done illegal since the beginning of football.

#2. Most of these guys think they are better than they really are. Take your experience or star rating and try to parlay it into some cash elsewhere who will pay you. Look at all the Bama players that have entered the portal, maybe 1 or 2 have done any good. KJ at Oregon is one but, would have been a backup this past season here. He probably got more cash there than here,

There are exceptions, but they are far less than the 1000 others.

It’s “earned income” - I don’t see how it wouldn’t be taxable.

Rumor has it Malachi Nelson will enter the portal. We recruited him Last cycle, but probably no interest now.
