Here is TxTech billionaire walking through blueprint for how they bought their way into the national spotlight. This is the new college football.


What’s allowed vs. not allowed​

Allowed when all are true:​

  • You are paid specifically for use of your NIL, such as ads, posts or appearances
  • The deal has a valid business purpose tied to a real product, service or event offered to the public
  • Compensation is within a reasonable range for people with similar fame or influence
  • You may use an agent or marketing professional for NIL activities

Not allowed:​

  • Pay with no required promotional activity or deliverables
  • Agreements that say your NIL will be used later with no defined plan
  • Pay-for-play, including payment to attend or compete for a specific school or compensation for athletics participation or achievement
  • Compensation outside a reasonable range for similar deals
 


Do you really believe this is enforced?
I hope so! It's how NIL should be. It's what the rules say it has to be.

Collectives need to be abolished.


Regardless if it is or isn't right now, my post was saying what needs to be ...

If you literally wish one fan happy birthday on Microsoft Teams or Skype or whatever, you're good to go. Hell just chug a Monster on video or say something nice about Culligan water and bam and you're done

That’s not what the NIL description says, which is (paraphrasing) NIL shall be market based compensation for the use of a players name, image or likeness. So just saying something nice on social media is not worth a million dollars and would not pass NIL muster. But since none of this is enforced, anything goes.

If you're doing those things you're being paid to do it, thought that part was common sense. The athletes aren't choosing products or companies at random, usually the guys fronting money want something in return or they have an emotional ROI but need to put something together to make it appear on the up and up. My overall point is it's not hard to make something look legit when its not. #Row the boat Ski-U-Mah big ten network drink sprite, eat Red Savoy, Shop Cub
 




ESPN is in bed with the SEC

The SEC wants to have completely open, unregulated NIL collectives, because they know almost no other programs in the country can compete with how dog rabid, unhinged their fanbases are about college football and thus how willing they are to crowdfund such mechanisms.


That's what that is.
 


If we could smuggle a Russian oligarch out before Putin shoves him out of a window, that might be helpful.

True on the rabid, unhinged fan bases (though Texas Tech is a Big12 school).

But the B1G has a lot more alumni, with a lot more money than pretty much any southern school outside the state of Texas, or maybe UGA. Someone posted that Ohio State literally has three times the number of living alumni of a Georgia. Hell, I bet Minnesota does too for that matter.

As far as I know, outside of Ohio State and maybe Penn State (?), this fact has not translated into large NIL collective support.


Talking only for myself and my weird, pedantic viewpoints: I want all NIL collectives, across all schools who opt into the House settlement, to be killed off and made illegal.
