New NIL legislation.
- Thread starter dinglefritz
- Start date
Looks like the senator from Alabama being pushed by donors that are fans of the Tide. these rules favor Alabama football big time.
Last I checked we were capitalists and not socialist in this country. Which is ironic because Bama people tend to be conservative with a spite for socialism but I guess not when it comes to the Tide. Should go against their beliefs

Just make Power 5 Football a pro league already. It's a billion-dollar business FFS. Why do they keep trying to pretend they care about academics?
bama, ohio state, usc...been paying under the table big time the last 2 decades..
I'd suggest they have nothing to do with nil legislation...
Transfer portal thing seems overreaching
Why is it the business of the government to do any of this? NIL is a private agreement between consenting adults.
I tend to agree with you partly. I think what they are trying to do is legitimize it and make sure all collectives are registered. You have places like USC and A&M who have created shell companies and funnel money to the student athletes directly from the boosters .
Sorry but you want to look through the wrong end of a telescope.
If Bama is paying teams under the table because they are ok with breaking the rules and Nebraska isn’t, Bama has a competitive advantage. Now add in NIL, which makes paying legal, and allows teams that don’t want to break the rules to pay them, now Bama’s competitive advantage goes away. Level playing field.
Also Bama was paying players with $50k cars (we’ve all seen the videos). Before NIL, that was top $ pay. Now kids are getting $1M contracts. Those $50k cars don’t seem so attractive. Cost for 5-stars are inflated now and Bama doesn’t want to pay the going rate. If the rate goes up 10 times on anything, you are going to be pissed because you can’t afford to buy as much as you used to.
Also the big part of the legislation that heavily supports Bama is the 3 year minimum before transfer rule. The portal is hurting Bama, not helping them. They lose a ton of young guys early that use to wait until year 4 or 5 to play. This has been why we are seeing a decline in that program. The depth isn’t there like it used to be.
It’s chess not checkers
Why not Do away with ncaa they are nothing more than a over bloated bureaucracy that all they do is fill there own pockets
thats why I don't want the folks who cheated making suggestions..they probably trying to cheat some more, because nil took away their advantage
Bama's running back, top 15 pick, last year left GT as a Soph
no amount of rules and regulations will stop smart people from succeeding
the government is incompetent & incapable
Yep that's why I said just make it a pro league. Then programs could sign certain players to 3 or 4 year contracts if they want. You could also implement a salary cap and active roster limit like the pros do, to make it more equitable.
Yes players could still get big NIL endorsement deals on the side, but who cares? They should be able to. I just don't see the point in trying to pretend major college football is still an "amateur" sport. If they do want to keep pretending, then they need to ban these stupid "collectives".
