Considering NIL isn't against the rules ... is Matt just advertising that he is getting outbid?

Good luck with that one. Opened up the twitter replies and even the people in there don't seem to really know exactly what he was going for there. Welcome to the wonderful world of Twitter.

Twitter replies are weird. They're often not on topic.

The Twitter status quo is to take whatever tweet and just respond ... talking about something entirely sort of related but not actually on point about the first tweet.

It's weird.

Duck emoji = Oregon Ducks
Money bag emoji = NIL money
Ghost emoji = Players cutting off contact with him, "Ghosting" him.
Hands emjoi = Miami (FL). It's similar to their "U" hand signal

Sub-tweet means to write a tweet about someone but not explicitly mention their name or account handle.
 

Rhule can also be deflecting lack of recruiting success on NIL....Cornhusker fans are recruiting-star crazy...also, this could be Rhule signaling his Big Red donors I am gonna need more NIL money...

not sure Miami is the "used to be a major program but haven't come to grips with reality" model for Rhule to emulate

and, as one of their many former felon told us, they aren't competing with WI, IA and MN

Kinda weird to signal it on signing day IMO.

Yeah maybe it gets more attention but it won't fix this class.... it ends a message to everyone.

Kinda like calling for reenforcements when "we're going to be overrun in 2 seconds". Nothing anyone can do about that in 2 seconds.
 

those dang Ducks bought Buckys services from us! im with Rhule

People are confused about this. Offering cash in exchange for a commitment is not NIL. Such a transaction is pay-for-play and is still a violation of NCAA rules.

The only difference is that now the cheaters are willing to be more brazen about it because they can fall back on NIL as a defense.

Packaging it as a part of NIL, or not ... really seems like same steps but minor differences.

NIL is essentially like California's old medicinal marijuana laws. It creates an absolute path to this kind of behavior which would technically be against the rules but it would be impossible to prove.

It'd be like proving that the guy who gets a marijuana card for anxiety doesn't really have anxiety.

The top one is Oregon, the bottom one is Miami (Florida).

I believe the gist is that they're letting it be known that they'll pay top dollar for transfers ... regardless if you're actually in the portal or not.


Pitt head coach just accused "some school" of offering UNC's outstanding freshman QB Drake Maye $5M to transfer.

Even worse: if you're trying to entice a player who is on someone else's roster to transfer, that is outright tampering.

That is despicable and must be stopped at all costs.

I was told by another poster there's no cheating and all this stuff is wonderful.

That is the issue. The line between NIL and pay for play has become (intentionally) blurry, because there is no governance in-place. The NCAA is not set-up to regulate NIL, and it’s not clear that they have the legal authority to do so if if they could, and wanted to.

A governing body could probably require that any deals be in writing, and registered. They could probably require contracts have clear language on terms, contract length, payment terms, and contractual requirements of both parties. None of that exists now. It’s bags of cash.

This isn’t going to stop unless the NCAA does something extreme, like quickly suspends a couple of high-profile programs for a couple of years. The problem is the NCAA has virtually no investigative authority. They would need to latch-on to something like an IRS investigation. And NIL was specifically designed to get IRS investigations OUT of D1 revenue sports.
 




It will all get slowed or come to an end. Once players start reporting contracts and suing for not getting paid, legislation will follow. Already reports of the divide in locker rooms over deals, not getting paid and promises not fulfilled.

If NIL, Portal and the Playoff all cause parity in the sport, I might just be all for it.

I mean technically pay for play is still illegal but of course we all know that is exactly what most NIL deals are in college football and basketball.

Of course it is. And it's been going on probably since the beginning of college football - it's just all in the open now.
