NCAA Transfer & NIL Policies

AlienAiden said:
There are other things they could do like maybe tax fans for concessions. I just wonder if any idea for the flow of NIL money is sustainable. I scrapped all that I heard recently especially after the rumor that Lawal wanted $400,000. The issue is that P5 schools are tampering and throwing monetary figures out to players. They can then shop for their best deal. I just do not know how year after year programs can dish out cash to players. It angers me when all that everyone wanted the NCAA to do was compensate players from corporate earnings. They just decided to punt it to fans and businesses and wash their hands of it.

400K because he makes a few dunks…. Nevermind I don’t understand how tampering is still considered ok now.
 
We all know that major television contracts, from advertising dollars, allow the so called Power conference to do what they do in athletics. If those who are getting tired of the direction of college athletics stop watching there are greatly reduced, or no, advertising dollars. If people are tired of what is happening in college athletics turn your television off as it relates to sports, and let the advertisers know that they need to spend their dollars else where. From what I see in college sports a large portion of the college athletes are fortunate to receive a free college education by playing a sport. If the NCAA figure that only 2% of all college athletes end up playing on a professional level I think getting a free education with a small amount of needed spending money is all these athletes need. While I'm posting - the only thing I would give a player like Brickus is a free VCU education which for the first time in his college career gives him a chance to play in the NCAA Basketball Tournament!

Another rumor....Brickus wanted a figure and VCU came up with the amount. Now Brickus is shopping that amount around with newly interested P5s.

I find this rumor utterly unsurprising....happens all the time in the business/teaching/tech world...


I'll also add that one of my least favorite aspects of America (after racism/sexism/classism/etc) is the current political climate/lobbyist/ridiculousness/attention whore-y goings on between both parties.

We had a perfectly usually mostly occasionally adequate representative democracy that has been twisted, pulled, and perverted into the largely unmanageable mess we have today (I'm blaming all parties involved)...Super PAC'$ have made ALL of it so much worse......that seems to be the path NCAA football/basketball is about to embark upon.

Sorry to bring politics into this...but it seemed like a germane analogy to use...

We will have a team on the court next year
They will play and (hopefully) win
Ryan Odom and company are doing a really solid job
I doubt ANY of the parties involved really LOVE VCU the way many of the fans/alum do.....maybe Fats?? He seems to get it....and I think that's just the way it's gonna go....

I suppose we have to transpose the affection/loyalty/understanding/mercenary mindset we employ in PROFESSIONAL sports into the NCAA now....I can do that, until I can't or don't wanna anymore. Buy some swag?, go to the occasional game?, pay for the ability to stream/watch?, and enjoy it for what it is

VCU and the NCAA are now a professional league....

Tampering *should* be stopped, but how?

Truth is there's really no way to stop it from happening unless you cut them off from the outside world unless they are in the transfer portal.

Meaning unless they are in the transfer portal..... they can't talk to their AAU coaches, their families, their best friends from high school, their girlfriends (assuming they don't attend VCU).... and basically you take away their personal life & social media & everything.


That's the only way you can "stop" any & all sorts of tampering..... Which will NEVER happen.
 
The lack of any truly binding contractual framework between the three main participating pillars... the athletes, the schools/ADs/coaching staffs, and the larger collective running the sporting enterprise (NCAA/cartel of conferences)... has created a largely lawless open market, so the mechanisms that might otherwise be used to fight tampering (e.g breach or tortious interfere claims) are mostly toothless, or become poison pills.

We basically went from too many rules to no rules.
