NCAA set to allow direct payments to athletes

[MountainManHawk]

Here is Ross Dellenger's column on NIL Go. Given that rejected NIL contracts will go to arbitration where the parties must agree to subpoena terms as required, I anticipate that that payors/boosters of suspected pay for play deals will elect to utilize "under the table" payment plans rather than deal with the rigor and subpoena terms of the NIL Go arbitration process. The new Enforcement Agency reportedly will not have subpoena power for investigations outside of the NIL Go process (i.e. "under the table" deals not submitted to NIL Go) until the House Settlement gets codified by the Feds:

That’s an interesting article. At the end they seem to sort of admit that since reporting your NIL deals to the clearinghouse at all is voluntary that they are kind of dependent on the schools policing themselves.

I’m sure we will see accusations that not every school is following the rules but it will be really hard to prove.

Clemson athletic director Graham Neff, one of the implementation committee members, details the factors used to form a compensation range: “Athletic performance is a big part of it. Your social media reach and following. Market — where schools are at. The reach of your school within said market.”

This will vary by school. Neff offers an example. “The reach of Georgia Tech in Atlanta is different than the reach of Georgia State,” he says.

This is all about widening the chasm between the power leagues and everyone else.

The power structure must not be disturbed.

The difference between an approved True NIL deal for a high profile GT player isn't going to be that much different than a similar endorsement deal for a high profile player at ISU. That difference is not going to be a major factor in the recruiting or transfer process although I am sure agents will tell their recruit clients otherwise.

That's not even what I'm concerned with in that statement, I don't disagree with your point there.

The concerning thing is that they plan on making distinctions about market size for two schools that are literally 6 miles apart. It's just ensuring that G6s and Mids can never, ever move up in class or challenge the already giant money advantages that the P2/M2 have. It's non-sensical that Georgia State's Atlanta is somehow different than Georgia Tech's Atlanta.

To bring it local, Johnson County and Black Hawk County have, more or less, the same population but somehow the Iowa athlete in Johnson County is going to be judged to be in a bigger market than the UNI kid in Black Hawk County? It's hogwash and the fact that G6s/Mids haven't been even listened to, much less included, makes this whole thing a farce.

Neff was referring more to social media reach than the geographic location of the two schools (GASt and GT). A GT FB athlete is who is All ACC is going to have a higher social media presence than an All-Conference FB athlete from GASt and, as a result, higher NIL value for a contract with similar terms.

Same difference between a TOE and a UNI athlete.

Today at WVU: The BoG authorized the addition of a student fee to assist with the new revenue-sharing expense as well as an arrangement with Gold & Blue, Inc, which will do business as Gold & Blue Enterprises and work to develop "a comprehensive Name, Image, and Likeness, and revenue-generating ecosystem." This is expected to be the creation of WVU's in-house NIL operation

Which again ensures that they keep G6s and Mids in 'their place'...
