Notre Dame football is an obvious exception to your arguments above.

See Grandy Glaze. He is a pioneer, and gets paid to dress up like one.

Grandy Glaze is just a template for Billikens looking to sell themselves? Blue font. I said blue font. No, no Team Blue, this is not a good idea, blue font.

How much would Jordan Goodwin make in NIL dollars if he came back for one year, any guesses? When I think about local advertisers looking for a player, he would be the main one. Local kid, resurrected a program, team leader, etc.

I remember that we were the first team to offer him a scholarship years ago. Outside of that, maybe he sees a lot of talent and wants to take a mid-major to the championship. I mean, he can be good anywhere, but he can become a legend at SLU.

Blue Font. when I read this, I think it could be considered offensive, and that was not the intent.

Right, I think people have to keep in mind, pro players and wealthy celebrities can demand a lot of money, because that is what their time is worth. How much time is a college kid worth otherwise. There was an app that allowed people to hire or rent famous celebrities. Shaun Austin was on there for like $1,000. There were a bunch of no name local celebrities. That would explode right now.

It is strange how things change. 20 years ago, he would have been the 1st or 2nd pick. Now, not even the first round, maybe.

I think you are mistaken. I am not saying that the student athletes will be allowed to use the marks without permission. I am saying that Universities will bend over backwards to be accommodating to their student athletes in the near future. They will not block all student athletes from signing things while wearing a jersey. They will figure out a good route to accommodate these players making money. I also think some schools will fail to appreciate how important this new concept is to players. Those players will leave those schools. Then, those schools will figure out how to be more accommodating. I am also of the opinion that the NCAA will not block transfers based on a student’s dissatisfaction with a school’s rules or attitudes towards NIL. I think the NCAA would lose a court case if they try.

Is that already decided? That seems somewhat similar to the things that the Supreme Court found a little discerning about the NCAA. actions and collusion that would be unacceptable in any other industry.

Ha! Schools will break when a big name player transfers because they won’t let the player wear a jersey. Schools should have some standards. You cannot sign just anywhere. That said, they will not be a major block.

Here is something I do not understand, how does a city of 7,000 people in Greece have a sports team? Have a professional basketball team? If so, why doesn’t Springfield, MO, what about St. Louis? Is it just that college basketball saturates the market so much that a pro team cannot survive? If so, how is the NCAA allowed to exist?

His highlights remind me of Kevin Lisch. Great get.

We should have brought in Mckissic. Maybe we are trying to avoid that regret later.

I envision a future where each university has only given a non-exclusive right over their broadcasts to a central system, a d retained part for their private use.

BYU was doing something like this as well. Notre Dame’s NBC deal will end in the next 4 years. When that happens, it will be interesting to see what they do.

I don’t know. They are just figuring out what people are willing to pay. I just won’t pay it. That said, I look forward to the day that the sports teams cut out the middle man and start placing their content in an online platform themselves. It would be more money for them, and potentially expensive for us, but if I could just have Billiken Basketball, then I would pay $5-$10 per month without concern.

Would that pay the mortgage on Chaifetz? Would it pay to keep the lights on? Frankly, no University has the confidence to take that chance. They are all jammed into a difficult situation. So, they will pay players and stick inside of their budgets, and our college sports system will move into a new era.

You think that the wash U part of that was the less believable? Ok. Both were meant as a joke.

Washington University draws 10,000+ fans regularly… As any former SLU student knows, our sense of school pride would not allow us to miss a game… Ha!

Hype video. If we all watch it 100 x, will his draft chances go up? Does he really have a 6’10” wingspan? If so, that might explain the rebounds. I looked at the second round talent on a mock draft and JG is head and shoulders better than most of the SG or PG options. I hope he gets a chance to be noticed. Edit: the wingspan might explain how he is able to get the O-boards and easy put-backs on those boards.

https://www.csnbbs.com/thread-813807.html These are the budgets for schools in basketball. There are statements about how the upcoming legal changes would be good or bad for SLU, but no clear explanation of what would happen. These budgets could be examined to determine the likely money that could be applied to players and estimate how this would change the recruiting landscape. Just note that the biggest budgets are only 3 times the size of SLU, which seems low. Certainly, the big schools bring in more than 3 times the amount of 4-5* players.

Let’s say that the worst outcome happens, and schools in football have to cut full scholarships for football players on half of their team so that they can pay for the top 22- 30 players. Ok. That would be rough for the rest of the 58 person team. They might have to make it on academics. It would change the culture around the sport. Is that really bad for the country, or for the sport?

I think the only people that will suffer wage cuts will be the coaches and the AD. I mean, if you have to pay 5 star basketball players, then do you really need to pay the coach more than $300k?

I know that there is no holding on direct compensation of players, but there is an immense amount of dicta which can be used in a future case. Couple of bits from the opinion: Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate. And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different. In my view, that argument is circular and unpersuasive. The NCAA couches its arguments for not paying student athletes in innocuous labels. But the labels cannot disguise the reality: The NCAA’s business model would be flatly il- legal in almost any other industry in America. All of the restaurants in a region cannot come together to cut cooks’ wages on the theory that “customers prefer” to eat food from low-paid cooks.
