August 28, 20241 yr Alabama's biggest NIL collective is shutting down. It sounds like they want to bring NIL activities in-house under the athletics department. https://footballscoop.com/news/alabama-shutting-down-top-collective

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.

August 31, 20241 yr Fuck it. Just put them on the middle of the collar where their logo usually goes lol
August 31, 20241 yr 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.

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.

September 17, 20241 yr so, no more sitting a year for in-conference SEC transfers for Georgia schools?

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.

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.

Whining and rubbing their piss-covered vaginas while having zero fucking clue about putting together a competitive NIL program. Did anyone keep receipts?

September 24, 20241 yr 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?

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. Edited September 24, 20241 yr by Katfid54

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

September 24, 20241 yr 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.

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?

September 25, 20241 yr WAs coming here to post that. Thats where Brennan Marion is OC now right? It sounds like their collective isn't able to make their payments to him or something of that nature.

September 25, 20241 yr Yikes. They had a shot at the G5 playoff spot too, not that I expect that to matter much to anyone these days
