    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    None of this has to do with what is considered ‘illegal’. It’s contract law. By accepting an NCAA scholarship the athlete agrees not to accept NIL that isn’t vetted by the clearinghouse. The restraint is on the athlete, not the booster.

    The booster can’t give him $5M under the rules. That’s the point. The athletic departments desperately want that money back in the athletic departments coffers (including Big 10 and SEC)..

    She’s going only insisting roster limits be phased in.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    I think you may be confused on what is being assessed for FMV. It’s third party NIL deals to promote third party business. iSU’s budget has nothing to do with the assessment, nor does football viewership.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Arguably the House settlement included enough current players that the courts will consider it to be collectively bargained. That will be the point of contention once it is challenged. I believe the House settlement only runs for 10 years too. After that there would have to be some type of...

    The clearinghouse really isn’t the legal issue. The issue is whether the cap itself satisfies antitrust law. This district court judge clearly believes it does but we’ll see if other courts will in ancillary attacks.

    Ames High changing conferneces

    What’s sad? They are moving to a far more difficult conference from a competitive standpoint.

    The SEC and 3 other big 4 conferences are PARTIES to the House agreement. They negotiated this arrangement.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    Teams can’t ‘promise’ NIL. That would violate collective bargaining agreements. I’m sure they could mention their market has better opportunities for endorsements but that’s about it.

    Legal challenges won’t have anything to do whether the valuation is ‘fair’. Follow-up litigation will involve whether the salary-cap violates antitrust law in the first place.

    NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

    It’s based on the salary cap. Basically they are ensuring that the salary cap isn’t being exceeded by illegitimate NIL deals. If the salary cap survives legal challenge, i would expect it’s enforcement mechanism to survive too.

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    You have to think Urbandale reconsiders, maybe after the school board election this fall.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    Well our coaches will be walking away soon if we don’t pay our athletes on par with our peers. So we have that going for us.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    That’s a question for JP. But he chose not to do it. Our Big12 peers decided it was important enough to find a way.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    Not buying it. With $122M in revenue it’s a choice not to max out.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    You can win recruits when you have a great culture even if your facilities maybe aren’t as nice. That doesn’t work anymore when you are paying them 66 cents on the dollar.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    Well now instead of just being short in nil funds we’re short in revenue sharing funds. Paying kids less then the entire big10/sec and at least some of the big12 and acc will absolutely matter.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    We’re going to have our rosters gutted if we don’t get to the max soon. I wonder if we end up funding less fb and bb spots compared to sec/big10 for a little bit to close the gap in pay. This could be a disaster. Very disheartening to hear this.

    You have to question Pollard’s leadership if we aren’t maxing out.

    I thought the kxno shows are simulcast on some radio station in eastern iowa? Maybe that’s no longer the case.
