$2m NIL offers - this is quickly becoming a problem...

NIL should be public information. These kids now want the $ without accountabili

Accountability to whom?

CommodoreCoug

May 6, 7:14am

University, collective, whoever is paying for contracted services

LV Mike

Why would that require the information to be public?

Why not?

Privacy. Most entertainers don't make their salary public.

OverratedHumor

Most everybody doesn't make salary public. Very few people have public salary

That doesn't make any sense

Why?

You're asking why accountability to a university/collective shouldn't require

You have to remember exactly what it is that those people are paying for.

Whoever is paying the player knows how much they're paying him...doesn't need to be public for that

Then why are collectives hitting up fans for money? Fans should then know.

ochobeeguy

I'd argue that's up to collectives if they want to share that info with their donors

Nil isn't supposed to be used as a recruiting inducement right?

I think there was a recent court case that determined it should be

JoeExotic

It's "not supposed to be", but there is absolutely 0 enforcement over it.

A court ruled that the NCAA cannot punish for NIL recruiting

There is no supposed to or not supposed to. It just is.

Honestly I don’t see it as a problem, we just have to recognize they’re pros.

Ok, fine. They're pros. Put caps and luxury tax on universities. Make all info

Theoretically this is endorsement money. In reality it is not.

JuicyJam

100% true. But there is nothing that can be done about it legally that I can see

Lance71

You forgot about locking them into contracts.

The whole situation is a giant mess, like a slow-mo evolution to professionalism

Reasonable1

Pros also have contracts requiring a certain number of yrs of service at a certain salary.

Bigger question is how are they able to offer that much.

WJCougar

It is crazy. It was never intended for the schools and boosters to go promise

But wasn't it, though? The powers that be knew the chaos that was coming.

I rarely believe these huge numbers. They are never sourced it's always hearsay.
