I would like to see all deals negotiated by the players and their agents. The school can put players in touch with the collectives, but that’s it. Or is that what they are already doing?I can see the NCAA putting a cap on how much a university/college can spend in total, but each player would be able to negotiate other deals for themselves….except at UK where JMI won’t allow it!
UK is not feeling the strain. If they were, would they give $1 million a year to Mitch to sit around and eat hay? Either that or Eli is an idiot and/or crook taking kickbacks.
I’ll go with the latter . It was a settlement to get Mitch to go away basically.
Even professional sports have salary caps. You can absolutely cap it and regulations will be in force sooner than later. This is a 4-6 year Wild West but it’s all but guaranteed not to last. Endorsements and NIL are similar but not the same.
Nobody is going to go by that, everyone of these schools and players will take a different case to court and get it stuck down. Until Congress acts nothing will be done. It will be court battles for years.
