Jefferson NOT gone.

In pro sports NIL is endorsement deals, which is what NIL in college is supposed to be.

So imo comparing college NIL to pro athlete contracts and the bargaining agreements isn't the correct comparison. Because the CBA don't dictate what the pro athletes can earn from endorsements (aka NIL).

That’s only because the NCAA has wrongfully not allowed salary.

Except it's already happened (Under Armor, Nike, etc. on uniforms) unless you're just talking local stuff.

I remember watching a game back in the early 90s and all of ISU's players had Reebok pumps. Awesome times haha.

Otherwise yeah, the ISU football game I went to last year had a very minor league game feel with all the promotional crap with the one lady and I can see more of that going on. I don't see that getting better.

Have you seen a soccer jersey or nba jersey post 2017? They all have corporate logos in addition to the apparel company.

How are people not getting this?

I'm guessing the chewing tobacco was probably a violation of some kind.

Yeah, couldn't speak about it. I used to sell it to my roommate who was a wrestler. Probably another violation

So before football started making money 25 years ago or so, should college athletics not have existed? It isn’t the non-revenue sports that have changed.

No, because a college's athletic department was modeled around everyone being amateur athletes, not professionals. Now we're trying to mix the two. If we're switching to professional sports, which we are, then run the athletic department like a sports franchise, not an amateur athletics department.

Having pro sports franchises tied to colleges is weird. Pro athletes getting paid $3million to play their sport while being required that they attend classes, do homework, take exams, work on group projects, etc.... is bizzaro world. It makes no sense. Stop the charade that these pro sports franchises care at all about academics (they shouldn't, it's a waste of time for them) and just form another pro league that is separate from college.

There's not an antitrust exemption attached to the House decision. That would need to come from Congress. There have been bills put forward in the past, that would grant an exemption, but none of them have gotten much traction to date. And certainly none are imminent.

Gotcha. I thought antitrust exemption was being done in conjunction with the settlement, but it appears those are two separate pursuits

It's interesting to look back at Jim Tressel's firing in 2011.

Ohio State's Tressel resigns amid 11th season

Jim Tressel has resigned from Ohio State amid his 11th season as head coach.

Mine was suppsoe to be a joke too.....you know, Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson. I guess I could have said George Jefferson or Thomas Jefferson too.

I know. Sorry, this thing got way out of hand. I flew too close to the sun.

I'm not saying it won't happen.

I'm saying I can see that happening.

I'm also saying the Nike swoosh and Under Armor logos on college football jerseys (including ISU) has already been happening. Are those not corporate logos?

 

[MTCyclone43]

Good stuff everyone.

Soooooo... is Jefferson coming back
or not?????

My AT&T answer is yes.

See YMCA logo on the top left (right in image). That is a corporate sponson logo.

This entire NIL thing is like an episode of storage wars. Everyone bids things up and gets out at thelast minute, and says I didn't want it anyway.

Nope. Blum took a vacation in the middle of portal season. Good planning.

If you had an ounce of integrity you would apologize to Brent.

We don’t fly non-revenue to Florida, WV, AZ etc? They haven’t had capital infrastructure investment from the arms race?


The non-revenues sports have changed with football. Just without the revenue to support such changes

Put the non-revenues in a local conference separate from revenue sports, on a non-revenue budget, in which costs are closer to revenue

That I am in agreement with. Regional conferences should be a thing in most sports. The nuclear option of eliminating the sports and scholarships is a bridge too far. These are still collegiate athletics, let’s not throw them away because a couple sports have gone to a full professional model.

Then kick the football and basketball out on their own and let’s get back to traditional collegiate athletics. Let’s fund them through the school like was always done in the past. Make football a professional sport and rent out the stadiums to fund the remaining sports.

 

[t-noah]

Ah yes another weekly scolding from CW on the pod. He hates passionate fans that want information they pay for. Might be time for him to take a step back. A guy that does not seem happy in his current situation.

Ah, I'll take CW's view(s) over yours. He's the current mgr. of CF. Who are you again?

More like the revenue sports kick the non-revenues off the meal ticket of football and MBB.

Get this to employment, and gut the compensation and budget of the low departments.

Total troll account - probably someone who has been previously banned who slipped through the cracks.
