Iowa bball NIL

[Zach Jump]

My salary is public. Of course, I’m paid by the taxpayers. I suppose if that wasn’t the case, I might have a problem with the concept, unless, of course, there was a compelling public interest in what I was being paid, such as, say, customers being asked to crowd-source a portion of my salary. That might make a difference.

At the end of the day it will not matter. The NCAA could make rules saying there has to be transparency and many states would quickly pass laws saying it is illegal in that state to disclose such information.

NCAA's biggest adversary these days when it comes to them creating rules and getting a handle on things is state legislatures and state AGs.

You are correct, except I think it would have to happen the other way around. If the NCAA made a rule calling for NIL deals to be disclosed publicly, it would probably be shot down for violating antitrust laws. But the federal government could give colleges and the NCAA antitrust exemptions on this matter, paving the way for transparency in such deals. I suppose the question is whether or not Congress would pass such a law. To that, I have no answer.

My gut feeling is that most senators do not have the enough local clout to do anything that a future political opponent can frame as hurting the local popular teams. For many it would be political suicide to vote for such a measure.

You might be right. Not to make this political, but at least one major politician has been making waves lately about the federal government stepping in to "save college sports," so you never know. There are certainly a lot of constituents who are unhappy about what's going on and might support a change.

And for what it's worth, making NIL deals transparent certainly wouldn’t fix the problem(s). But it might be a good step in the right direction.

Sounds like some donors really stepped up. We don’t have Mark Cubans, but seems like a few donors really helped out.

Do you make your private transactions public?

Yes, Venmo and Paypal.

The level playing field concept sounds great but isn’t reality. More transparency is more realistic.
Before NIL the playing field was ‘level’ according to the rules and we saw how schools and conferences dealt with that. Also the Supreme Court decision looms pretty large on any efforts to limit opportunities. Anytime there is a 9-0 decision…..

There has to be some way to handle this... If every pro sports team can do it.

Pro sports don’t get involved with endorsements from third parties. They would lose in court if they tried, and so will colleges if they try an regulate NIL.

More regulation of the schools contribution would only hurt schools like Iowa IMO.

Pro teams don't handle this all that much other than have some rules or written into contracts that the players cannot be hired by sports books or the places such as the Chicken Ranch.

Teams like the Dodgers actually have to overpay by many millions to make their offer equal the same take home amount as an offer from the Texas Rangers.

I was not talking about sponsorships, but rather the NIL money that schools dish out. Their collectives and the school's funding.

Players like Caitlin Clark are going to get sponsorships no matter where they are at.

I just do not want college football & basketball to become the Yankees, where only a few are on top every other year.... That Will get old...

When will an athlete sue the NCAA for requiring them to be enrolled in classes at all as that restrains their ability to earn money doing promotional work for Cody Campbell oil business?

Logical conclusion. Just go ahead and kill the golden goose,Jay Bilas.

Or sues the NCAA for limiting them to only 4 (or now 5) years of eligibility, which again, restrains their ability to earn money.
