[MuskieCy]

And so it begins.

Judge grants final approval to House settlement

Schools are now free to begin paying their athletes directly, marking the dawn of a new era in college sports brought about by a multibillion-dollar legal settlement that was formally approved Friday.

Going to need some type of legislation now to prevent future lawsuits (mostly regarding antitrust).

All athletes from 2016 to present will get paid. Did I read this right?

Will they pay into IPERS?

How will this eventually affect ISU? So athletes will be paid by the university - employees. Iowa State and much of the P3 and 4 conference members still do not have near the money as anyone in the P2, and the gap compounds and widens every year.

How will this change the current inequity? Will there ever be a type of profit sharing and or payroll caps like in the NFL?

Correct and the majority of that money is coming from the non-power conferences which is going to widen the gap even further.

I would like to see the formula they use to determine each athlete's VALUE. If all athletes are getting paid, I wonder what walk-ons get simply for being part of the team. Some are more valuable and do more than scholarship athletes.

I don’t love a baseball guy being tapped for this. Baseball has a ton of issues right now

What the heck all the way back to 2016? Just going forward will be hard enough for most schools.

How does this keep a billionaire from still paying a bunch of superstars to come play basketball or football for his/her favorite team through true Name/Image/Likeness money?

Supposedly Deloitte will monitor the value of NIL deals for each athlete. So one school wouldn’t be able to out bid for a particular athlete as their value will be the same regardless where they play. Doesn’t mean that a bunch of superstars couldn’t all go to the same school; but the playing field should be a little more level as players won’t be incentivized to chase dollars.

Personally, I have little faith in Deloitte being able to manage and determine an athletes NIL value that doesn’t correlate to a teams historical success, especially at the blue blood level. I think we’re going to see the same correlation of an ADs revenue/budget to success as we do in NIL value.

That's not the problem, pretty sure they're plenty capable of doing the job. The issue is someone is going to sue over this and I don't see how that holds up.

At this point , I would be ok if robots were developed to take over playing the game. Then the targeting, hands to face, taunting, roughing the passer, injury delays, substituting can all be eliminated.

Kinda like the fox being in charge of the chicken coop?

"Hmm, I'll have the Rhode Island Red for supper tonight, save the Leghorn for tomorrow..."

Injuries would be a thing of the past. Simply insert next clone-robot. LOL
