Thanks, that cleared up where I was confused. I wonder then, can Koi or any athlete still do the billboard thing and get around the stipulation that you have to play for Texas Tech, but instead you have to appear at a certain number of "events" on Friday nights before home games in Lubbock...

I was going off the assumption that he got the check while working. Like, if I was famous and someone asked me to come to California to shoot a commercial, I'm accepting the check at the same time I'm actually doing the commercial. Whereas if you do the work in MN but then drive across the...

I'd like to think it's more about where you accepted the check than it is where your image was shown though. I mean, you make a movie in Hollywood and you pay taxes to California. You don't have to pay taxes in every state that the movie is shown in, because that would be the theaters making...

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't the athlete claim the NIL was earned apart from playing football? Like if Koi is on a billboard in Lubbock in exchange for his NIL money, then that has nothing at all to do with him playing football games in a different state, does it? We all know it's...

Isn't that how we ended up with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Young kid earned tons of money, didn't understand taxes?

But it's earned by the conference, not the player. Then the conference gives it to the schools, and the schools give it to players for playing football games in different states. Like, it doesn't matter if the company I work for is getting it's revenue from sales in MN or sales in China. What...

Can't he claim his NIL is for what he does besides playing football? Like, he did all of his commercials or appearances in the state of Texas, whereas the revenue sharing from the athletic dept is clearly being given to him for playing football, including in states other than Texas.

I'd consider Tyrone Carter to be a legend. Maybe some of the stuff he said recently might change that, but if you go just off his time in Dinkytown....

Thanks. I mean, I think we've been doing great in the portal and so to see them ahead of us.... Kinda like PSU. I doubt many teams would be happy taking the cyclones roster versus what everyone else in the top 10 is doing.

Paging Dean Martin...

Why is WI so high? I thought they lost some key players?

Not trying to argue (in case it sounds that way lol). I just think athletic departments like ours would prefer to tell our football team to keep playing in an uncompetitive landscape while preserving the non-revenue sports, vs. any risk to those just to try and change the football landscape...

How would the details work? If the Gophers and such just don't show up to play Ohio State or Oregon, our athletic department's revenue will crash, along with our athletic department, before the top spenders will feel their hand being forced. Don't our TV contract agreements require us to play...

This is BULLSHIT. Show me the proof those numbers aren't real. I'm waiting. Where's your proof that they aren't real????? Oh, that's right. You have no proof - you just come here to bi!ch about it.

Yeah, but what are their interests? Third party NIL doesn't affect them, and right now no one is forcing them to cover medical or tuition expenses after the athletes leave the school. Seems like they would have a lot to lose and nothing to gain. At least with other "pro" leagues you have the...
