Supreme Court Rules Against NCAA Athlete Pay Limitations

[Redbirdwarrior]

dont let them pull the rug over your eyes. they have he money to compete at a high level if they choose.

What ISU are you looking at when you say this? Do you realize how much money major FBS programs bring in and spend? University Texas athletics created revenues of $200,000,000 last year.

Texas athletics generates $200.7 million in revenue, $22.1 million profit in 2019-20 fiscal year

Longhorns generate $200.7 million in revenue, $22.1 million profit in 2019-20 fiscal year despite fragile economic conditions

Illinois State brought in $29,000,000.

Illinois State University Athletics Programs

So, Im not sure where you are getting your info, but major schools are generating ten times the revenue we are. Unless the university has $180,000,000 buried under Horton Fieldhouse, you are mistaken.

Texas fans made $33.6 million in football donations, and football generated $26.6 million through licensing and sponsorships. Thanks to Longhorn Network’s annual $15 million check, UT took in $20.6 million in media rights, according to the report.

I mean, just that makes it impossible to compete with. $15 million just for the TV rights deal.

Take that $29,000,000 and give a portion (maybe $100,000 each), in the form of “money for school necessities” to several 4-5 star basketball players.
The Redbirds win the NCAA and then similar recruits follow suit. The continued success translates into a lucrative TV package that offsets the $400,000 to $500,00 you shelled out. Voila...problem solved.
Of course, we’d need someone that actually knows how to coach talent, but that’s a discussion for another day. Maybe someone should start a thread about that...

And when Duke sees ISU doing that and gives them school expenses north of $1,000,000?

i'm sure that (s)he doesn't have any factual info about ISU's financial books that could validate a suggestion that we have enough money to run with the big dogs.........just computer access to RBF.net to make imaginative statements about the enormous wealth that ISU is sitting on.

I'm gonna copy and paste this entire article from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune because they have a paywall. Kind of an interesting story about a kid going to a "small" school who just signed a couple million dollar endorsement deal. His dad is a somebody, that may have helped, but an interesting story nevertheless;

Hercy Miller, the former Minnehaha Academy point guard who will play at Tennessee State next season, announced that he has signed a $2 million contract with a Los Angeles-based company called Web Apps America.

Company founder Marcus Brown said in a phone interview that the deal is for four years and that the recent NCAA ruling surrounding athletes being able to profit off their name, image and likeness opened the doors for the partnership.

"We have been thinking about it, we brought it to his attention fairly recently, not too long ago," Brown said.

Miller, who is the son of rapper Master P, confirmed he signed the deal to TMZ on Friday and said he plans to use part of his earnings to give back to others.

"I learned from my dad, I'm going to start off by giving back to the community and everyone around me," Miller said to TMZ. "I have a camp July 21. I'm doing a camp. I'm giving back to the kids and giving out school supplies."

Miller also noted that he's going to get a Tesla, but lease it, not buy.

In the same TMZ interview, his father said the company reached out to Hercy because of his decision to sign with Tennessee State, a historically black university.

"You know what he worked so hard, this is a blessing. They say when you do right blessings will keep coming to you," Master P said. "He's been doing right. He's an A-student. That's why this company did this. They wanted to get with a student-athlete from a HBCU and when they researched him, he was the top athlete when you pull up HBCU."

Brown, who said the company works on mobile apps, websites, augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D-animation and other technologies, is looking forward to working with Miller. The company website said its mission is "to enhance your brands user experience.''

"We've been around for like 10 years," Brown said. "Now we're creating brick and mortar stores. We just opened our first flagship across the state from Apple in downtown Los Angeles. We're excited to be working with Hercy, it's going to be fun."

Miller, who transferred as a junior to Minnehaha Academy for family reasons, is the oldest of the Miller brothers, and his brother Mercy played for the Redhawks last season a freshman.

Hercy scored 45 points in three state tournament games this year as Minnehaha Academy won the Class 3A title.

BYU football sponsor to cover walk-on tuition

The BYU athletic department helped broker an NIL deal with Built Brands that will pay at least one year's tuition for every walk-on member of the football team.

www.espn.com

Walk-ons may be a loose term going forward. Looks like future "Walk-ons" at power schools may be the current mid major scholly players. Will the NCAA limit further the number of walk-ons? Are only advantage in the future may be playing time versus too much competition for playing time.

This is the first of many scenarios where the "haves" will be able to manipulate the system versus the "have nots"

For Bradley or ISU? Loyola could be in an even better position moving forward for MoVal dominance. I can see ISU getting outbid in the future.

Deion flips No. 2 recruit from FSU to Jackson St.

Cornerback Travis Hunter, the No. 2-ranked recruit in the nation, flipped his commitment from Florida State to Jackson State to become the first five-star high school football prospect to sign with an FCS team since ESPN started its rankings in 2006.

www.espn.com

Need to find some local businesses to pony up some money so we can land some top 50 recruits.

It’s hard not to hate was has become of all sports these days (pro and college). From a fan perspective, I say screw it all and support HS sports...and only HS.

Until it happens at the high school level ... I doubt many envisioned getting to this point when the College Football Association was formed in 1977.

The schools that formed the CFA banded together because of what they viewed as obstructionism of the NCAA by smaller schools. "People were just fed up with the NCAA's parochialism, power grab, etc., but also they wanted more money, they wanted to maximize and they wanted their fans to be able to see them on TV," said James Ponsoldt, a law professor at the University of Georgia.

The CFA was formed by schools from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Eight Conference, the Southeastern Conference, the Southwest Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference, plus independents Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and the service academies. Schools from the Big Ten Conference and the Pacific-8 Conference did not join the CFA.

I didn't read this article so apologies if I am being redundant but this was my concern all along with NIL. Lane Kiffin confirmed it yesterday. "Kids are going to go where they get paid the most." It's as simple as that. Now, are they getting "paid to play their sport" technically no. They are being compensated to promote products. Some of those things may be legit like, who was it, Tua's brother (?) who showed up in a Dr. Pepper commercial. Other will be big booster business owners who would like to bring a kid on as a "spokesperson" for their brand. They'll do one "public appearance" and be set for four year or until they go to the NFL draft. How the NCAA didn't see this coming or thought they had a way to police it is beyond me.

My question is what about the other players on the team. Say a start QB commits to X school and signs an NIL deal for 2 mil. He better make sure part of that goes to his oline or I think he might spend some time on his back that season. Then, technically, that Oline is being paid to play, which is against the rules, right?

I understand there is so much money involved now so players deserve their fair shake since these old white dudes are making millions off of them. Call me old school, and I might have been naïve at the time, but I miss when college athletics were armatures playing for the love of the game versus trying to find the next best thing.

Isu could solidify itself if they chose to do so but they choose not to.

ISU can’t afford to buy muller out! How in the heck are going to buy an athlete? Lol
