NIL Money and deciding to enter draft

The NCAA has updated its transfer portal memo, making it clear that multi-time transfers who transfer during or after the current academic year can be eligible to play at their new school next year without a waiver.

So players now can shop each year for the best NIL deal. A kid could play in 4 or 5 different schools by time he's done.

College football is becoming trash.

I keep thinking about how people said it wouldn't be more than a free pizza now and then. Some of us saw how people with deep pockets were lining up to make themselves part of the programs.
 
This a clear case of what's legal versus what's good for the sport being two very, very different things. We see this many places in society, campaign finance laws being one that first comes to mind.

Like Mark said, Pandora's box has been opened with this one. It's great for this current group of players, terrible for the sport overall, and if it wrecks things for both the schools and future players well, so be it.

Minor league sports, where the players can actually make more in college from NIL than they'll ever make playing the sport in the pros, if they even make it.

Expect more and more players to look for that 5th year of college to earn more money, because they see their chances of the pros not that hot, or the salaries they get, not nearly as good as in college.

You want to make it into the playoffs in college football at the end of the year? Money talks, bull$hit walks. You gotta field a team of well paid mercenaries to have a shot at it.
 
Just waiting for more business like a Nike to throw something like $100 million to Oregon over 5 years. At some point there will be kids leaving college possible with 10s of millions of dollars and never going pro because they don't need the money or risk their health as they are set for life out of college.
 
Right now schools, NCAA, govt does need to find a way to regulate this as right now there is little to nothing to prevent the abuse of the system we are seeing.
 
amature sports is dead all hail the paid pro in college.

NCAA, Power 5 agree to let schools pay players

The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar settlement agreement that will allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the history of college sports.
www.espn.com www.espn.com
 
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and the five most prominent athletic conferences agreed to a $2.77 billion settlement of a class-action lawsuit on Thursday, ushering in a new era of college sports in which schools can pay athletes directly.

The move marks a dramatic shift for the NCAA, breaking with its century-old stance that college athletes are amateurs and therefore cannot share in any of the money they generate for their universities.

The settlement will resolve a case that began in 2020 and was seeking back pay for athletes who were barred from earning compensation from endorsements, as well as a cut of future broadcast revenues.
It also marks the latest rule the NCAA has been forced to change amid an onslaught of legal challenges in recent years.
