The employee model is also something they don't want because it will be a death blow to division 2 and 3 athletics. It will also knock out some division one athletics as well.
You didn’t notice that DBT has gone woke?
I’m just a socialist at heart.
When you look at the NCAA’s policy for NIL when it first began, the NCAA stated that they would evaluate NIL deals to assure that players were not getting paid more than anyone else would get paid for a similar service. Of course, that was something that the NCAA could never be able to police and they never will.
I won't be giving to 5430 or any other NIL collective. First I don't believe these are legitimate charitable entities. They may have that status now but I think it will be short lived. 2nd NIL is a business expense. If this was being done to serve that legitimate purpose, someone would be beating down the businesses in Boulder and surrounding communities showing how much a successful team brings in extra revenue and getting them to sign contracts for advertising where the agency then signs the players and provides them for advertising.
I really hope Congress steps in and clarifies this mess.

Sure. There are outliers. A female athlete at LSU I think, has a $2 million deal.
I never said that nor implied that. I’m just saying that the combination of NIL and the Portal needs a structure. It needs enforceable rules and it needs to be regulated. Right now it is out of control.
The original intent was that players could make money off of their NIL on the open market and the schools could not be involved. But then schools pushed the limit and created these collectives. That was never the intent.
And you also have the danger of young people being lied to and taken advantage of. Unscrupulous and/or unqualified people want some of the pie as well and are willing to use these kids to make money.

This is the model I wish we would use! Businesses could have commercials with the players. Charity events are great, but should tie to businesses and the charity. All together promotions. Have not seen a single thing yet promoted.
I mean regulate the school and NCAA involvement. If McDonalds wants to pay Caleb Williams to do a commercial, great. But if boosters and schools are promising advertising money to recruits to entice them, I have an issue with that.
A single central authority, beyond all reproach, of benign and perfect intentions. -DBT
Okay. Great. Then Institute a salary cap. Unionize the athletes. That’ll work greatly!
Salary cap won’t work. As long as the players have full choice of where they play, there will always be under the table payments/enticement.

It's a team sport, maybe tie it to team wins, not individual stats
