I see no issue. If money is allocated for NIL the coach is supposed to try and use it to build the best roster possible. Coaches don’t get comped on saving NIL $. Of course they need to allocate it smartly — don’t give $1M to a walk on. They still want to get a good return on the NIL spend.
No issue. I still haven't seen anything saying the coaches control it. Have you?

No it’s not. Most faculty, coaches, and public officials aren’t in unions.

These players are getting paid NIL money to play basketball for public institutions (with private school exceptions, but they are also members of the NCAA), and there are strings, including transparency in compensation, that come with that.

Also, the compensation of the executives and BODs of publicly owned companies is disclosed by law (if you can buy stock in it, it’s publicly owned).
Jesus dude. If it’s public it’s to be made public!!!! Public is key word. It’s private funds bro. You might not like it but it’s absolutely private funds outside the public university. Good luck changing that. Now if they end up being public employee with a bargaining union it still won’t stop nil. It shouldn’t be any of your or my business.

They don’t control it, but they’re extremely aligned. How else could it work?

Collectives don’t know anything about these recruits and they aren’t going to do their own independent valuations of each player. The staff knows how much NIL is available and the collectives know what players the staff wants and their ask.
 
I wouldn’t call them donors. The point of NIL is that an athlete’s NIL is valuable to a business, charity or other organization for advertising products or bringing attention to causes. It’s not supposed to be legalized under the table bribery from boosters for play like happened at UK and elsewhere. It’s supposed to a contract between the athlete and an organization which theoretically benefits both parties.
Says who? The ncaa? If I want to pay a kid to wash dishes or mow my lawn and hand out tickets to watch for a million who cares. You missed the point that the ncaa is dead. Who is going to stop it? Long drawn out court battles? So far the courts aren’t interested in stopping this. You think congress has this high on the agenda m? Hell no.

The coach or the university doesn't decide how much NIL money the player gets, or apportion the collective NIL to the players. That's between the player and the collective or the sponsors.

The coach probably expresses to the NIL collective his assesment of the player's value. But the payment is not from the coach.

If the coach is doling out money to the players from a "NIL pool" then I've gravely misunderstood how NIL works.

I disagree because they wouldn't be getting any funds at all without playing for the university and disclosure is coming:


I don't want this to operate like a legalized version of the illegal under the table pay for play that existed at the dirty universities.

Agree. We are on the same page. The coach doesn’t directly control the NIL but they bring in the recruits and the collectives are aligned with the recruits value.

Sometimes it’s easier to say a coach spends NIL despite the actual mechanics being a few more steps.
 
Painter also pressures the players to stay as an IOU instead of do what’s best for their career. Edey should have been drafted last year. If he would have had any lower leg issues this year, he would have lost millions of dollars.
Well, yeah, maybe, but in return for that last year, Painter taught Edey how to drill off-balance three-pointers, didn't he? Right?

From the Purdue comments, Painter apparently prepared Edey for an NBA career where nobody can defend all his brilliant fullcourt ballhandling "skills", all his brilliant three point shooting "skills" and all his brilliant under-basket-against-smaller-opponents-with-incompetent-Big-Ten-Refs "skills".

Good luck, Edey, now that it's serious.
 
I completely disagree because they wouldn't be getting any funds at all without playing for the university and disclosure is coming:

Not true. They can leave and take the money. Already happens. That is one part that was stipulated by the courts. They are not bound by playing for said university. You missed that part. I’ll assure you if that’s happening then they do have precedence to go after them.

A player getting NIL money for playing for IU is only getting that money because he's playing for IU. There's a direct connection. He leaves, he gets no more money from that deal, he must get another.

There will be more transparency. It's coming. Right now it's the wild west and it needs to be brought under control a bit. I don't think it's sustainable as it is.

Who will give transparency rules? It’s governed by each state not the NCAA. The NCAA might try but all it takes is one state to get an injunction. Congress isn’t going to. No state is going to go against the state school either.

The NCAA will try and probably will get it done. At this point the NCAA is like the NBA and NFL, and they’ll establish rules for all their teams similarly.

No freaking chance. Have you not been paying attention? NCAA isn’t at all like those. The NCAA put the wall up that keeps it from being a collective bargaining salary. Remember…this isn’t a federal thing it’s a state thing. The scotus ruling sent it back to the states. Each state handles NIL separately. The states of Tennessee and West Va just smacked them again that the ncaa has no jurisdiction over NIL.

We’ll see. It can’t continue without more guidance and transparency IMO.
 
No they don’t when it comes to NIL. NCAA needs to be careful or everyone will separate and have their own tourney.
We’ve reached the point where I picture you jumping up and down and screaming, “THEY HAVE NO POWER” and threatening to hold your breath until I agree. 😄 It’s OK. We shall see.

He’s right. The B1G and SEC have leverage now. They now control the destiny. NCAA is over.

The NCCA owns the tournament and the TV contract through 2032. That’s tons of bucks and power.
Has nothing to do with court rulings. They had money and power back then. Still got owned for 3 years. If anything congress hates the bullying the ncaa has done. Remember they are supposed to have the best interest of the students. They don’t.
