When the Shorthorns and Sankey decided to pull a fast one on the Big 12, they really didn’t realize the possibility that many of the schools in the Big 12 have supporters who are billionaires.
Actual NIL. Basically get local businesses to commit to “hiring” athletes through NIL. Has to go through the new clearinghouse and be market rate.
I thought Golesh to Arkansas was a done deal and kind of checked out on the coaching crap. What happened?
I was told this clearinghouse would be legit and not the status quo, but a school saying "we are committing $X amount to NIL" isn't legit and it's just the status quo.
Blum talked a little about it on a podcast recently. But basically some ADs have a team of people that, from how I understand it, a talent agency. They’re essentially coordinating their players with businesses for NIL.
He mentioned one school is basically collecting money from businesses and they will get a player for what ever the business wants to do. They don’t know who that player is though.
Blum also said that a that barely any deals are being turned down by the clearinghouse. I don’t remember the percentage he said they were clearing/denying deals at. But over 90% rings a bell to me.
I actually don’t think they have denied a deal yet? Certainly not for any P4 school that I am aware of.
A lot of schools have a NIL coordination dept now
You might be right as any deal that may be denied could just be errors on the form that needs to be corrected.
Who's even left to hire at this point? This is just making Penn State's AD look like a moron who either had no plan or vastly underestimated how much he'd have to work to make his plans happen and I can't imagine many people are lining up to work for someone like that.
Yeah sparty is apparently getting a 9 figure donation this month for the AD and a chunk of that is going to NIL. People who thought the clearing house was going to do anything in our capitalistic society just weren’t paying attention
DING DING DING. The clearinghouse is sham. I remember arguing with some know it all jackass on here who kept saying the "Clearinghouse would weed out the non legit deals", anyone with common sense knew that wouldn't happen. The Clearinghouse is nothing more than a rubber stamp.
Looks like 394 of over 12,000 deals were denied. However those 394 deals represented over $10M, so it looks like they denied some whoppers.
College Sports Commission announces NIL Go has cleared $87.5 million in deals
The College Sports Commission released its latest data Thursday from the NIL Go clearinghouse, sharing how many deals have been approved since June.
Crumbl Cookies taste like they've been soaking all day. Now it all makes sense.

Yeah, I don’t think they could really be much else.
Setting a “fair market” value is going to be really hard, and even if you could do it, it would result in probably 99% of deals getting rejected because the vast majority of athletes have minimal nil value. Their value comes from being on that teams (exceptions being people like Johnny Manziel or Caitlyn Clark).
And even if they didn’t do that, actually looking at far market value would just lock in benefits for big teams. Because a player on Michigan, Ohio State, LSU, etc. is going to have so much more value than someone on Iowa State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State, etc.
It's not NIL for the vast majority of athletes, its Pay for Play. If you had to give a true value on how many athletes could actually see a T shirt or jersey and it would be few and far between, The only athlete at ISU that would be making any money in a true NIL setup would be Crooks.
No. I was promised on this very board that House fixed it and Deloitte was going to fix all pay for play and if they tried any shenanigans they'd be in BIG trouble.
