"Big Ten asks NCAA to pause tampering inquiries, revamp rules"

The ACC and the Big 12 are opposed to pausing enforcement of anti-tampering rules. That's no surprise, is it? After all, those are the conferences whose players are most likely to be poached by the big boys. But what is surprising is that the SEC has not lined up with the Big Ten in favor of a pause.

Rutgers fans ought to pay a lot of attention to this issue because it is key to what other schools can do to our players -- and what we can do to players at other schools. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-fo...emand-to-pause-tampering-cases-195002145.html

Nebraska players suing about nil deals being struck down

Having fun?

For the moment, the players are going to arbitration, not to court. It make a difference. In arbitration, they're challenging the grounds on which the College Sports Commission rejected their deals. That's important because we will find out what grounds the CSC can use in rejecting deals. They're not yet challenging the system as a whole. But they will if they lose in arbitration because they will then almost certainly sue on the grounds that Nebraska law prohibits any limits on NIL and therefore they can't be punished for breaking the CSC's rules. . If they win on that, then undoubtedly every other state will pass a similar law to prevent their schools from being disadvantaged. That would be, as you imply, the end of any NIL restrictions unless Congress acts to overturn state law.
