Are you talking about legitimate NIL, or pay for play? I'm pretty sure pay for play is no longer allowed in addition to revenue sharing.
There is a significant clause in the proposed settlement that says “every NIL deal over $600 will be reviewed for fair market value.” Review by Deloitte. You’d think that kills pay for play, but no one knows how they will interpret “fair market value.”

The problem becomes that 'Fair Market Value' is what someone is willing to pay. You can't put a number on it.

I was sorta thinking that’s what I said.

I don't think they can just pay a player. They have to somehow use their name or image in an ad or something. Basically, take a picture, put it in some obscure ad, get paid.

Just to clarify $600,000.
Anticipate more law suits.
Fair market value - good luck with that. I know that is the stated plan.

Probably not a guy we'll look at but a very good player from where I live. Great shooter and good defender (3.1 steals/game). Coming fom a very good team this year UC San Diego...




This guy is intriguing. Here's a quick NBA scouting report about him from NoCeilings.

"6’4” Hayden Gray is a 3-and-D combo guard. The long-range sniper has hit 40.6% of his threes this season, and he can spot up from deep behind the line. He’s a heads-up passer, too. Defensively, he has magnets for hands, racking up 3.4 SPG and posting a preposterous 6.0 STL%. He has sublime off-ball instincts, knowing when to gamble for digs and where to play in gaps to get to balls in passing lanes. It remains a bit of a question as to how scalable his play style is given his run-of-the-mill physical traits."

And he has the dreamy blue eyes we've been missing since Hoiberg left.

That would be ideal and a way to more easily establish FMV. It’s how NIL was intended.

I mean Canada has laws around salaries, but they're for minimum salaries. Have a co-worker who got a massive raise simply due to Canadian law because she moved to Toronto from Kansas City after losing the Visa lottery for Indians in the US. Putting a cap vs a minimum would be harder, but someone could figure it out.

I think they are supposed to validate that the NIL purchaser (The University or private company) is getting something in return for use of the NIL of the athlete. For example, a car dealership has to show that using Cooper Flagg's NIL in commercials actually generated web traffic on their car dealership website or foot traffic at the brick and motor dealership location. There are ways of measuring this from a marketing standpoint.

The goal is to avoid some rich oil man just dumping a bag o' cash on athletes to buy championships.

And yeah, Deloitte is gonna get rich off this contract. And it will be a complete shid show.

It’s going to be a disaster and ineffective.

Just another laughable attempt to avoid employment.
