Power Conference schools being forced to sign a contract or risk membership

Ya, that sounds like a bad thing for us. I would assume there are monetary commitments associated with that.

Sound like the first step of the power leagues breaking away from the NCAA.
Huh. That's one way to get people to follow rules.
That said, the SEC really going to evict Georgia? The big 10 going to evict Ohio St? This would only have teeth for the middle or bottom of the conferences.

Also, this seems like a great thing for the Iowa schools as I don’t see our state legislature going rogue in some attempt to game state laws for college sports to ISU or Iowa’s advantage. But SEC crazed states like Tennessee or Georgia or Alabama or Florida sure would. Maybe I am overestimating our state legislature.
This is where I think its gets interesting. Will Georgia risk not getting their media contract or possibly not being able to play any p4 opponents. These commissioners do want every one to play by the same rules(Oklahoma's AD was practically begging for everyone to sign it in the article) and school administrators lobbying their state legislatures for every advantage possible prevents that. Whether this is legal in the first place will be interesting
Only matters if the conference is going to enforce it. Based on the recruiting violations that were accepted prior to NIL, good luck getting the SEC to do anything other than turn a blind eye to cheating.
Gonna need someone to explain this to me like I am 5 and then tell me if it’s good or bad for the Big 12 and ISU.
Oh boy, I’m with you as well but I’ll try.
Seems like this is attempting to say schools have to abide by the Deloitte clearinghouse decisions, even if those decisions would appear to violate state NIL laws.
Can you sign an agreement to not follow state law? Is that legal? Is that risky?
Wouldn’t this just open up getting sued by individual players?
I think it’s attempting to give the clearinghouse teeth, because it doesn’t really have any on its own.
I could by 100% wrong here… LOL
Good or bad for ISU? On its surface it would seem good. Anything that could actually regulate or minimize NIL would seem good for ISU as we are poor.
I say on the surface, because pretty much every major change in college sports is bad for ISU, as college football continues to scream towards a pro sports league for the haves.

1) As presented, it’s a good thing. Levels the playing field for all schools to follow the same set of rules.
2) Not a lawyer, but I don’t think this would hold up under a challenge.
3) The market is undefeated, whether money is going over or under the table. This and the settlement will push a lot of it back under. Anything other than employing the players and collective bargaining is a half-measure designed to try to prolong the status quo.
If it's middle or bottom, that implies middle to bottom. I make that point because a significant majority CAN control the behemoths because they'd leave the behemoths with not enough to play. At this stage I'm seeing the 'bluffs', or at the very least areas where 'bluffs' should be played.
I have no thoughts on this other than what a monumental cluster **** this is.
It will end up a nothing-burger because it's not going to be enforceable and the big dogs are going to do their own thing regardless of what they say or anyone tells them too.
College football is a complete mess right now. It really is the wild west right now. Nobody knows the "rules" right now, including coaches and administrators. Any possible "guardrails" that are attempted are un-enforceable. The amount of changes happening and the speed at which they change is crazy right now. Of course, most of this favors the "haves" and makes things more difficult for Iowa State right now. So far, Iowa State has managed to weather the storm pretty well, but there is so much uncertainty right now. We are less than four months away from the start of the football season and the coaches don't even know for sure how many players they can have on their roster.
Eventually this is all going to come crashing down. I'm pretty sure Iowa State is on the outside looking in, but nobody knows what it will look like. As a fan, I'm just riding things out until it gets to a breaking point for me (not sure when that will be).
