Will the new NIL limits work? Who knows?

[Retired711]

This piece is worth reading. BTW, the limits go into place only when Judge Claudia Wilken approves the House v. NCAA settlement -- and no one knows when that will be. My own guess is that she's going to insist on further changes, but we'll see.

The one thing the article had right is that there will be a lot of lawsuits:

• Challenging the legitimacy of the clearinghouse
• Challenging the rejection of deals
• Athletes suing schools for misrepresentation or fraud if/when the promised NIL amounts don't occur.

Probably will also see a school sue another for tampering in the near future. The smaller schools in G5 and lower could make a pretty penny here for their athletic departments.

Lawyers gonna be lawyers

It's not lawyers, it's the clients. As the article says, every school wants a competitive advantage. So every school will want to establish that what it wants to do is permitted and what its competitors want to do isn't. The lawyers are just the schools' mouthpieces in that battle.
