I was right
There is a discussion on the tug but the politics are immaterial. What matters is that I was right. Called this before day 1

will get rolled back but the SEC would be the biggest proponents of this. The old “shovel cash to kids through a vast network of used car and jet ski dealers” was the biggest competitive advantage the sec schools had. Legalization has hurt them immensely

I maintain legalization will kill the sport. I don't see this being rolled back. One more fix ought to do the trick
Been right so far

The SEC is back!

Not going to happen. It's not "your" name image and likeness if someone else is getting paid for it

I figured this was going to be what killed the open NIL in the first place and surprised it took this long for this. As much as I vehemently hate the Wild West NIL world, I worry about a situation where they can't find something that works for everyone so it tears down the sport. It could also just be the domino that gets the SEC and Big 10 football serious about finding a way to break off from the NCAA.

I predict the kids won't have to play school anymore within five years. They'll just be football players.
-
Football and basketball will break off from the NCAA in a year or two

And the SEC an B1G from that

Title 9 has been the law of the land since 1972. It actually worked for women getting scholarships to play sports. I actually agree with that.
But there were those of us who warned that football needed an exception since it pays the bills. There isn't one.
Title 9 would have to be repealed and reworked. Good luck with that because women vote more than men
We also warned that paying players would require paying Misty for volleyball. Equality means equal
It was a good run while it lasted

Are collectives illegal now? If not, how does any slice of money from the NCAA affect private citizens from continuing to donate to collectives to buy football rosters? This title 9 ruling only lowers the base salary of football players from the NCAA, it shouldn't have a bearing on how much they can get in "NIL" deals from private collectives for their talents, right? I haven't been following so if someone wants to fill me in that would be great.
Also, UW has a smaller pool of athletes than most of the B10. No men's and women's hockey, field hockey, lacrosse or wrestling, no swim/dive. Wouldn't UW's teams across the board get a larger base salary?
TIA
