    Thanks for the thoughts. The original HWH team getting the original IP out into the open and getting the longform IRS approval were instrumental in all of this. That's @SquishMitten @RGBIII @SydneyCar

    Outside of unifying all initiatives under one umbrella, which wasn't a small feat for the parties involved, there are two really big things here: 1) All players in all sports will be making money

    I went to the tournament and the gala. Kind of obligated on it and to pay for it, or part of it. It was all well done and a ton of money was raised. We’d committed to a nut for this new cycle for full

Top 10 NIL Collectives per @PeteNakos_💰https://t.co/ydXmWfsWSx

 

This is straight up made up shit by this guy. They have no idea who has access to what in these collectives so they're doing everything off of hearsay, at best. I know the guy has received zero insights from TOF. Just made it up and now it's a list that people are talking about and will eventually be touting on the radio and podcasts.

Alabama's biggest NIL collective is shutting down.  It sounds like they want to bring NIL activities in-house under the athletics department.

Just their charity which wasn't a charity. Yea Alabama is still around and does good work as far as collectives go.

If I understand the Cook Beats deal, it was also genius for Cook “to get” headphones for his teammates. Beats gets free advertising every time the Texas team is shown stepping off the bus. Genius move by Beats and Cook. I fully expect Texas to cut that stuff off in the future and sell headphone bus stepping off rights.

Some college athletes can expect to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars annually through name, image and likeness deals. Here's a look at where the money goes. https://t.co/fmBlCWJAEG

Texas five-star wide receiver commit Jaime Ffrench has signed with Rosenhaus Sports for NIL representation. The nation's No. 3 receiver in the 2025 class committed to the Longhorns last week over LSU and Miami.More: https://t.co/SiFwEcbKT5

I'd be curious to see Rosenhaus's college client list. How many high profile guys he has and if they've become difficult to work with, etc. I asssume Rosenhaus is using this like nike and addidas for HS teams, just to funnel guys to him when they hit it big.

No, it's legal in the revshare model that will become the norm next season. This is a kind of stupid way to do it.

Yeah, seems like they're trying to redirect any blowback from raising ticket prices from the a.d. to the players.  Sound strategy!

If a school is going to voluntarily join an organization (NCAA), and as part of that agree to follow their rules, then it makes no sense that a state can legislate that their member institutions don't have to abide by those rules.

The schools can either follow the rules, or leave the NCAA. You can't just pick and choose which rules you are going to follow and say "Sorry, it's state law" .

I generally agree with you, but it is complicated by the fact that these rules are unlikely to be upheld if challenged in court.

Step closer to full employment arrangement. This is going to cost GA schools even more in employment law, regulation, and benefits issues than benefit on the field. Although I think it’s inevitable that athletes get treated as employees by the courts, so it doesn’t really matter.
 

College sports in 2034 are going to be very different.

I don’t really understand that though. If NIL just became legal how can he feel like they’re obligated to pay him for services rendered without a contract?

I imagine that the argument is NIL was always "legal" and the NCAA/Pac12/USC improperly conspired to prevent Bush (and other collegiate athletes) from profiting on their names, images, and likenesses. 


Now, how Bush's suit against the NCAA isn't covered by House, I'm not sure.  Maybe he was able to opt out of the pending settlement?  Or maybe he's suing individually before the settlement is finalized, and his statute of limitations has somehow been tolled all this time under the American Pipe doctrine?

 

Edited to add:  Also possible that Bush's suit will be consolidated into House.

Seems to be a trend among some former players. 

 

Denard Robinson, Braylon Edwards, Mike Martin, and Shawn Crable from Michigan are doing same.

House only covers former student athletes from 2016 and later.  Bush was long gone by then.

#2192

yeah, TBH this is some straight up fucking nonsense now that we see what NIL has become and it's actually the worst possible outcome possible for the NCAA. The schools have some protection, although it may be weird they were compensated and any student athlete at a school doesn't really have rights to the co-branded NIL which is used in much of the material. Now the free market has determined that players are getting a share, but universities could theoretically tell players to go get fucked on things like jersey sales, ad campaigns for the football team etc. They are enrolled athletes and probably part of their duty as a student athlete is to do some of this shit in exchange for their scholarship and cash stipend etc.

I guess that's the point, though.  Bush may have some NIL claims from 2016-present, as USC/NCAA/etc. have continued to use his likeness.  And maybe those claims are not time-barred because of statute of limitations was tolled pursuant to American Pipe.  But how would any of Bush's pre-2016 claims not be time-barred?

This is where it is all muddied up for me... they keep talking about "a share", but seem like majority going to athletes is from new sources and not a share of things.
