I'm pretty sure I'm on record in an old thread saying Deion Sanders is at Colorado for four seasons at the most. Something about getting fired if there isn't much improvement; or winning and moving on to a helmet school with lots of money.
I never factored in the "everyone's just bored with it" angle...jk. But, I did see that Colorado gave him an extension. The administration knows Deions limits but are okay with having him around if only for the exposure and selling tickets.
So I am pretty sure I will be wrong and he is around for at least 5 years. Another shit year and Buffalo fans will start to figure it out and those ticket sales will go down.
I dunno...whatever. I just enjoy watching him lose.

Not calling the athletes "labor" is legal semantics and nothing more. It's undeniable that there is now a meaningful cost to attracting a player to a school and keeping them there (beyond the scholarship) that did not exist 5 years ago, and it's creating an even larger chasm between the haves and have-nots. Sure, call athletes independent contractors as they're legally defined, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that the cost of retaining their services is real and growing. Even if that cost is borne by an outside entity like a NIL collective, does it really matter how it's defined if a school continually loses talent to the highest bidder? I'm sure coaches don't give a shit what the government and lawyers call the athletes they're losing to other programs, many just know they're at a decided disadvantage in a battle they're never going to win because they don't have the resources to compete.

I concur. If pro sports teams have "labor costs" then the collegiate teams have "labor costs".

Sports are a subset of the entertainment industry. Actors and actresses are labor costs to any film or stage production. I'm not aware of how their NIL rights are managed and line item compensated, but imagine if they were administered like collegiate sports.

Additionally, what are the NIL rights of theater and music majors?

Theater and music majors have rights to sell their NIL and are not employees of the university

This is a really easy question

Soooo... why aren't they wrapped up in schools' NIL Collectives? Or even talked about being in the collectives?
