Billionaire boosters

All it takes is one billionaire booster or a handful of multimillionaires. Lots of schools have those. Shouldn’t Harvard be a top NIL school then? Why isn’t a school like Purdue attractive to athletes with their lure of NIL money?

How many sports loving billionaires does Purdue have?

It’s not about how much is theoretically available, it’s about how much the contributors are willing to commit. As an example, look at U. of Michigan’s football NIL commitment versus its basketball NIL commitment.

Yeah, they don't want to get sued anymore, because they lose every lawsuit. They deny Goode's waiver, he sues, and the courts might rule that ALL eligibility limits are unenforceable. Goode might play at IU forever!

Honest question... what gives the NCAA the right to decide how long a young adult can work? They are deny them a chance to make a living. No other profession has a designated length an employer can employ a person.

Talent matters, asshole. You can be the best coach in the world but it is a lot easier to win with good players. My God, you are stupid.

Go watch IU play Ohio State in football and the team with the five star talent always wins.

I thought you said you were done with IUBB? Your continued presence is almost as disappointing as the entirety of this last season.

NCAA has traditionally held the position that intercollegiate athletes are students first and foremost. They have always considered intercollegiate athletics an extracurricular pursuit. The fact that you refer to the students as employees is an indication of how much NCAA’s position has eroded.

The schools themselves did that when they created and joined the NCAA.

But, I agree with you. I'm glad they get paid and I wouldn't care one bit if they got rid of the 4 in 5 rule.

No I don’t want a way for players like Dickheadson to be playing for 8-10 years. There has to be a limit, and a constant inflow of new talent.

There doesn't have to be. In fact, it might be an anti-trust violation.

No one makes the Burger King kid stop flipping burgers after 5 years to make room for new burger flippers.

The NCAA can set limits on eligibility. Seems totally in keeping with it being a college sport for eligible students. What the courts have said is students can earn a living however they want outside of that. Which also makes sense.
If the NCAA says no more play after 5 or 6 years, it doesn't stop those guys from earning a living playing basketball. Or getting NIL or endorsements.

Yep. NCAA is a private association, they define who their members are. You think Little League should have to allow 25 year old guys to play?

Did Goode get his waiver? Does CDD want him?

I don’t know if Leal would even want to try but he only played 11 games in his true junior year. He was wasted for most of his career.

Maybe some kind of staff role but no his playing days are and should be over.

Lots of people we know in the first batch of portal players:

2. Josh Dix, Iowa
4. Tucker DeVries. WV/IU
5. Owen Freeman, Iowa
8. Mailk Reneau. IU
15. Pryce Sandfort. Iowa
16. Jonathan Powell, WV
18. Cooper Koch, Iowa
20. Brock Harding, Iowa
21. Gabe Cupps, IU

Surprised they rated MR so low.

A bit of irony that Jonathan Powell ended up at WVU. He was Cupps' high school teammate and at one point there was some level of interest from IU.

Dakich said IU will get Conor Enright former Drake player under DeVries.
