Maybe, IDK. That said, I'm sure we could do it better
Always the optimist! 
I actually like the annuity thing Arkansas offered Nolan. He got many millions bonus if he stayed the entire 4-5 years.
Pot kettle for A
I will semi agree with you. There are a few exceptions to the rule. One of them doesn't matter, but the other two or three does matter and/or could matter. I think they could be the teams that are always near the top of the heap, and the ones that everyone struggles to beat each year.
I look for FAU to fall off the face of the earth in basketball. Historically they have been an awful basketball program. Their facilities are below average. They struck gold with a coach. Don’t see a repeat.
I'm not so ready to write them off the books. They achieved two things that made them gold, and if they find a decent coach,(not a great coach) the one thing could, (emphasize could) keep them relevant. The two things were Dusty May, and NIL money. The NIL money probably isn't going anywhere, and a decent coach who is a good promoter, could possibly keep the program alive, with that amount of NIL money behind him. Being a good promoter of the program is as important, or more important than the coaching ability.
Bottom line you need rich people who have college sports watching as a hobby and who feel their money will make a difference in their hobby, IMO.
I forgot about them. So we have four to five(if Memphis ever gets a guy that can coach his way out of a paper bag) competitors with money, that will consistently pay significant amounts of NIL.
Correct. Or at least someone who can convince those folks the impact of their money.
I suppose the argument is, if you leave now, you'll go to Rutgers and make $100k. If you stay another year and develop, you'll go to Indiana and make $250k, so you're better off staying. Like kids deciding whether to enter the draft. Tho I guess they could go to Rutgers and then go to Indiana...
Regardless of all that, whether the players are gone after 1 or 2 years, they are not here for their best years. Bleak.
They also don’t have to split NIL money with football

And DJ Burns could suit up and play left tackle in the NFL next season. Dear God the dude is a beast with some great feet.
Unless something has changed, this is the latest I was aware of: players can transfer more than once without sitting.
The NCAA changed its rule and will allow an athlete to transfer for a second time without penalty through the 2023-2024 season.
The injunction is not enforcing the 1 transfer rule, it is continuing to put it on hold, until a trial or amendment to the bylaws.
That's what I meant. There was an injunction in place therefore not allowing the NCAA to enforce it. I believe the argument is that it unfairly limits a player's free enterprise and the rule is a violation of antitrust. And with that...schools could end a lot of the chaos by classifying student athletes as employees and then having them sign multiyear contracts. I certainly think the NIL collectives could require a signed contract and make it for multiple years with some harsh conditions to buy it out. I mean if the Texas collective wants to pay PJ Haggerty more than us, then let them also buy out his NIL agreement with TU so at least we can replenish that $$$ and give it to other players.
Surely these players aren’t being paid for say 2-3 years of NIL with all those payments up front ?
You can have all the money in the world and still suck, to wit, the Dallas Cowboys.
No sir. Year to Year. Most of them are getting some $$ upfront and then scheduled monthly. Depending on the player and sport.
And this is because the NILs and schools haven't started playing the game to give them some leverage in this insanity. Schools in so called lesser conferences need to even the game up somehow and this is the way to do it. The players are certainly signing some sort of NIL contract/agreement, so now it's time to add some teeth to it. Here's the thing, most of these NIL deals are just booster payments directly to the player with no services being provided. You've had a few sign lucrative NIL deals where the player actually had their names/likenesses used in ads for the companies paying them. Caleb Williams and Wendy's, Caitlin Clark and State Farm. That was more the whole point...that and EA being able to bring back their NCAA games, schools being able to market jerseys with actual player numbers on them, players being able to go to card and memorabilia shows and signing things for $$ and appearance fees. Ed O'Bannon started this, Jeremy Bloom quit playing college football because the NCAA said he couldn't take money for being one of the best trick and stunt skiers in history despite the fact that it had no bearing on his status as an amateur football player (do you all remember how freaking fast this kid was?)
I have mixed feelings here. Having a hard time siding with universities who have for decades refused to provide their student athletes with four year scholarships. Instead offering one years ships which are subject to cancellation at the whim of the school. Would like to see something in the middle. If you’re going to tie NIL deals with the universities (they are currently separate) then the universities need to offer guaranteed four year scholarships to all student athletes regardless of NIL status imo. There can be opt out clauses for the university based on being convicted of a crime, etc.
