Bagmen in the SEC will still bag for the superstars

Yeah, basically money laundering bags is what I think all the build up leads up. My thought was the only way NIL would really work is if set up a situation where money is distributed evenly between teammates, conferences, divisions, sports, in some capacity, otherwise, yeah, it's just a sketchy recruiting tool - and I'm not old school dodging on that like it's dirty.
My hopes would be more focused on things like yearly stadium/field/video game/general licensing agreements being shared with all members of a team or an AD. Same with jersey/merch sales and even coach bonuses for wins/achievements. Some of these is where UW could work some of those corporate advantages being in a big market as opposed to the weirdo shit we're seeing now.
With the Oregon stuff, I would assume they could have just already dropped bags and the NCAA wasn't enforcing that shit anyway so maybe it doesn't actually make that much of a difference. I'm sure those Nike connections get played up a lot in the recruiting process but the truth is Nike is smart enough that you're not going to get any advantage from that you don't earn or bring value to them from. Case in point, GOAT LaMichael James runs some sort of burger place in Oregon, he's not a VP at Nike. Even NFL studs like Ngata and Buckner, aren't getting some Nike connection unless it's a value to Nike. -
The difference is that now they can market their services to recruits openly, write it off at tax time, and actually derive some benefit for it off the field. The pool of money can climb, too, as there's no way an entity the size of Nike was dropping bags on players. They'd have had to use middle men like AAU coaches and whatnot to keep their noses clean. Now they don't need to.WoolleyDoog said:With the Oregon stuff, I would assume they could have just already dropped bags and the NCAA wasn't enforcing that shit anyway so maybe it doesn't actually make that much of a difference.

I can see NIL being a huge blow to the bottom line of prep coaches. -
Queery do players who sign substantial NIL deals count against scholarship numbers? Why even put them on scholarship at all? Is it possible to field an entire Alabama national championship team full of multi millionaire "walk-ons"?

Just too tempting for the feds to keep their hands off. I hope the "kids" have good financial advisors

All the other replies including Twattenberg’s smiling lesbo softball player mug on a garbage truck are funny but the Duck makes a valid and scary point that is more likely true than not.greenblood said:Oregon is setting up a private NIL company as an extension of the athletic department, while Jen is still figuring out what the acronym means.

I’m getting this vibe that you fellas think UW is going to bungle this NIL thing.

I just heard an ad for the Pac 12 Championship game on spotify. Things are looking up.

They aren't going to bungle it b/c there will be nothing to bungle.MelloDawg said:I’m getting this vibe that you fellas think UW is going to bungle this NIL thing.
Just like the lack of attendance at games where UW AD can't give away free tickets and Secondary Ticket Markets are selling tickets cheaper than a movie ticket or meal at Olive Garden, UW does not have the Alumni/Small Business Owners really interested in paying a players to market a product or service b/c the ROI isn't there.
Again as 1 to numbers said, you don't get into NIL if your a company b/c you think it helps grow or expand your business. You participate b/c you want to have access and to help the program.
Phil Knight is doing this b/c he has enough loose change in his couch (in the millions should he choose) to give to UO whereby they can take that meaningful amount and use it as a recruiting tool to help sway top end recruits to head to Eugene. -
Y’all keep talking about bag drops like this is 1982 in Dallas Texas.
The real story is that Phil Knight has basically taken professional representation of athletes and made it core curriculum at UO within the college of business with backing from Nike, focusing on NIL, which is obviously the biggest game changer in all of amateur athletics since Title 9.
This isn’t about 10k payoffs and rental homes for mom or a job for dad at the local Dodge dealership, guys. -
