NIL doesn’t equal player compensation in those leagues. The players get a piece of the pie. NIL isn’t intended to be a recruiting inducement. There hasn’t been any enforcement around it. Maybe this new structure will have more teeth around it and NIL will work like it does in other markets. I spent 3 hours in a golf cart with a college athlete and he got paid for spending three hours with me arguing hoops…. and I gave him some tips on a putting green. Also gave him advice about making the most of the network he is cultivating as people want to help but he has to help himself first. He already has an undergraduate degree and working on a Masters. He will be fine. A really engaging young guy that’s going to do well.a fan wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 3:39 pmAll those leagues are 100% anything goes for NIL deals. I’m assuming that’s not what you meant.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 2:00 pmMaybe they put some teeth into “extra” benefits. The NBA, NFL, MLB, and the NHL are not free markets where anything goes . I would shut a lot of the nonsense down. I am going to give it until next week to reach out to the guy I know.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:10 pmthe original proposal thrown out there by the new nc$$ chief was $30m for schools that wanted to be in a tier 1 league, and that the money would be spread between men and women. he was spitballing and don't think he got in the weeds on whether that meant equal or whatever. but if it isn't allowable? to pay qb's big money, then nil will be alive and well. if nicked because they'll need boosters to fund both pools. or cut sports.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:03 pmHopefully this returns some sanity to NIL. Get the boosters out of the sport. I am going to ask my friend that runs an NIL pool what this means.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:59 amit will be to allow schools to spend as much as $20 million to pay athletes directly. so out of their budget. schools can spend zero if they want to.norcalhop wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:29 amI haven't been following this closely enough, so is the NCAA paying the schools each $20M? Or are the schools responsible themselves for generating the $20M and paying it to athletes? Ivies aren't generating that much in profit from their major sports I imagine.Chousnake wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:13 amThere are about 1000 athletes at most big colleges (Michigan has 900, Cornell has 1400). If you divide $20 million equally, it is $20,000 per athlete. I find it hard to believe that the football QB at Michigan , a player on the women's volleyball team, and a back up player on the tennis team each get $20,000.coda wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:03 amRight now it would be Big 10 and ND. Though I would expect another round of conference realignment. Seems likely that college football resembles the NFL in 5-10 years. I believe it will be Big 10/SEC, instead of AFC/NFC. ACC seems to like the next casualty of conference realignment. Their share of the pie is falling well behind. A completely equal pay out to all players seems grossly unfair to me. I would think there will be some merit based pay. What that split looks like is anyone's guess. Could it be 50% goes to every athlete and the next 50% is based on revenue your team brings to the University? 25%/75%? 75/25?Chousnake wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 10:53 am All the articles I read mentioned $20 million per school for the major conference schools to be divided among all athletes. There is no mention of what happens to schools not in major conferences. If the Big 10 and ACC start paying lax players and every other conference does not, that will be the end of lacrosse as we know it. A handful of schools will have a big advantage over all others, but the sport can't be played with just 10 teams at D1.
what's going thru now is a bit lower number, and for now everyone's still playing together. what i'm sure of is things will change.
And all the leagues are Unionized.
