Trump signs college athletics EO
- Thread starter RikeMiley
- Start date
I’m sure it will get lawyered out, but he actually kind of gave people what the masses seem to want, and the normal reaction also happened. In other words, it’s a day that ends in y
lol no chance this holds up in court.
As far as transfers, just make schools pay a buyout to the school they take a transfer from, like they do for coaches. That would solve a lot of the problems with the transfer portal.

Good, finally somebody is doing something about the circus that is college athletics with NIL. This isn't intended to be the law of the land. This is intended for college athletic regulatory agencies (NCAA, cough, cough) to actually step up and do their ******* jobs.
Maybe it gives Congress a framework to do something and puts some pressure on them but this will get challenged quickly.
Nah, we should definitely freak out and assume it’s political or racist or something. It can’t possibly be anything else….. right?
Courts will strike down any attempt at federal regulation of NIL.
The only way to save college sports is to have the athletes sign contracts. If they break the contract, they have to pay a buyout. Institute a salary cap. Don't allow schools to be involved in NIL in any way.
I like the buyout idea, but no one needs to make anyone do it.
Duke basically did this with its QB who went to Miami, but there is no reason that NIL contracts cannot include a "buyout" provision.
That aside, this EO is obviously not enforceable.
Contracts are the way, but at least for now, schools can't agree on a salary cap without that being antitrust collusion. Congress would need to give a statutory exemption, as it has granted for the pros.
We don’t need numb nuts getting involved in sports it’s F-upped enough as it is
Biden is no longer in office.
I guess you’re right, he was never active in policy making when he was taking naps in the Oval Office.
The problem is college athletes are adults. The law basically stipulates that they should be paid fair market value, even if the path to this is somewhat circuitous. What the EO does is like trying to tell a teacher, police officer, businessman that they can't look for a better opportunity because it is a pain the *** on the system. Imagine telling somebody in business they only get one move in their career and are then locked into a salary that is provided by their last boss. Of course, people USED to be treated this way by big business 100 years ago but decades of labor laws have allowed people freedom to earn fair market value. Of course fans, coaches, ADs want to put the genie back in the bottle but this is a labor dispute and the clock won't be turned back on this one. The fact that these workers happen to be in a competitive sport just won't carry water because the sport is inherently unfair and has been the whole time.
I haven't read the whole thing but the single transfer rule would create a ton of problems. Imagine redshirting one year, and you decide to transfer closer to home. You have to sign a four year deal with the school because you can't transfer again, but you haven't played yet. So you a take a four year, 400k contract. You then become an all-conference player and are making 10x less than the incoming freshman, so your only option is to go pro or hold out and not play, you have lost all leverage. So instead of transfers we are going to see hold-outs or guys go pro and sign free agent deals. Not really better.
At least it’s getting some attention. What’s happening now is just dirty. Tampering is rampant, and I think there needs to be some clear, hard limits on what’s allowed from players, reps, and coaches of opposing teams. That’s grounds for NIL termination as a punishment imo. From both sides. Player reaching out? Current NIL null and void. Same with opposing teams coaches and reps. They should pay a fine if tampering is proven.
This is all my opinion if it happens during an active season for a player (first day of practice until the teams last game of the season). Every other time of year? Do whatever you want. Wild West. If we do unlimited transfers I’d be for a 4 year hard limit. If a player takes money, his clock starts. You have 4 years to play school and get your degree before you need to move along.
Have the kids sign a 4-year letter of intent out of high school. If they leave, then they or the school they transfer to has to pay the remainder of their scholarship to the school they transferred from. So if you transfer from say Northern Iowa to Iowa State after your first year, Iowa State would have to pay Northern Iowa for the amount of the remaining 3 years.
That is currently the rule no one is following, it was already in the House Settlement and CSC that Nebraska players are suing.
"According to an FAQ released during the approval of the House settlement, if an athlete receives $100,000 from a school (A) and receives $50,000 at the beginning of the academic year, but chooses to transfer to school (B), that institution would have to reimburse school (A) $50,000. It would be deducted from school B’s revenue-share pool."
I hope they do! Full fledged commie ball would be so fun to make fun of
A players union = commie?
But you’re bawling your eyes out for fascist labor restrictions?
trying to understand just how far you’ve managed to shove your head up your own *** today
How far today? It's up there pretty far 24/7.

Each player should be able to come and go as they please. Just like any other student.
If Johnny Science Major wants to leave Tulane at the end of the semester and attend Duke, he can do it. So should a kid that plays sports.
Anyone that wants to restrict what these guys can do is wrong and probably a total weirdo.
If some dumbass and/or superfan wants to give a kid a ton of money to play for their school, so be it.
Maybe we should put restrictions on how much firemen can make? If I brought that up, you guys would lose your minds.
Let people make money, let people change jobs.

Is easy for DP as he is gaped regularly, he is a pin head too, which makes both insertion and depth easier to obtain.
In the words of a far wiser man than me, "If you pull your head out of your sas, the world will stop looking so hsitty."
I agree with most of what your saying. There should be some sort of salary cap in place though. And the school accepting the transfer should have to reimburse the former school for costs that school paid on their behalf. Otherwise the top 10 schools with huge donor bases will rule college football forever. Smaller schools who invest a lot in player recruiting and development only to see a big fish poach their best players is not good for the sport.
Once a CFPA is formed these issues can be addressed.
Willy Nilly EO does little more than all the NCAA's failed efforts. I hate what I see today compared with what I grew up with. This is the future, whether I, or anyone else like it or not.

Bull$&it, you don’t treat this like it’s some job, they want to make money I get it, they should but you shouldn’t get to leave every year to the highest bidder or you don’t want to compete to win the position.
I like the idea of getting to tranfer once and if do it again you have to seat out a year to play.
Do you also think the hey should be able to come and go as they please in the NFL ?
The players collectively bargain in the NFL. They’re the ones who agree to any limits (salary cap, contract terms, etc.)
If you want contracts, there has to be a players union. Simple.
by the way don’t point the finger at the NCAA for this, point it at the SEC and B1G, each of which has ZERO desire to reign in any of today’s college sports goings on.
in fact, the B1G has benefitted so much from all this I don’t see any possible way they ever do anything to curb what’s allowed it to finally break through.
