SEC & Big Whatever Discussing Potential Revenue Sharing With Players

Inevitable. Encouraged that this may move faster than I would have thought.

 

Saw CBN on the tour. His opinion is 1- the current nil situation will only be a couple more years and then it is headed to revenue sharing 2- the college football playoff may separate from the ncaa 3- the sec and big will make the decision where it all goes. Nothing we haven’t seen forecasted by some on the forum but interesting to hear his opinion.

 

I assumed there was a lot of planning behind the scenes. Sounds like he has heard the word. Endure the chaos until the new CFB is born.

 

HAIL NO, we cannot let the B1G control the SEC... trick the SEC into making these kids employees... and all that crap that comes with UNION employment. If the SEC Commissioner is even remotely entertaining that BS then he needs to be FIRED!!!

 

No doubt it is coming from coaches, athletic departments, players and agents. Train well down the track. Station empty.

 

It's this against the law, so there is one road-block. We'll see how that goes.

 

He needs to keep up with the times and keep the sec the undisputed top conference in college football. Aragon’s can reach the outside looking in real quick. Money wins every time. We might not like it but the richest conference will win the most games.

 

It’s a rule really, not so much a law. It’s made by the schools who keep all the money from football and do as they wish. Title 9 is a law but tgat has to do with public money given to schools. I’m not law expert but if you run things as a business instead of state subsidized entity, things are a bit different.

 

That seems like a path that it may start down. Collective bargaining agreement is the word I’m waiting to hear along with contracts. As long as championships can be bought, fans will grow tired of it. I guess naivity of the real state of college football had enough fans believing Saban went on a completely unprecedented run on the up and up. Reality of what was ha is finally setting in and fans will realize their team never had a shot in the first place.

 

It is the law, actually. Right now most states prevent payments directly from the University athletic depts.

 

Virginia law will allow it beginning in July and other states will follow. I am not sure a state law is needed though if it is actually a revenue sharing agreement at the conference or ncaa level (not a lawyer and no recent hi express stays).

 

I say let the NIL work itself out first before we try and re-invent college football... again. Let the trial lawyers pay for the NIL like they do at Ole Miss..

By the way, what do you call an entity that gives college football players a reliable steady flow of income? I call that an Employer.

 

But do they prevent a conference, a private entity, to make the transfers directly to players?

The problem, at least as I see it, is who is negotiating what the players get? Each player....unlikely. The only way this will work is with a player's union, so expect that to be coming next.

 

Not sure how this helps, under the table "NIL" will still be a thing and of course players transferring every 6 months will still be there.

 

Isn’t that for “public,” schools

 

Not if contracts are established

or if certain schools align. You can transfer out of the real schools I guess.

 

Revenue sharing, pay for play, is almost here. Does anyone understand just how it’s going to work? I don’t pretend to have clue, except that schools will then be directly paying players.
Will everyone get the same amount?
Who decides that?
Will it vary from school to school, conference to conference?


Schools Scramble to Prep for the NCAA Revenue-Sharing Era.

“The final, but perhaps most important question for how to implement revenue-sharing: how to raise money. Even the richest athletic departments are claiming they’ll need to raise additional funds to pay their players starting next year. Some, like Tennessee and Arkansas, are implementing fees on tickets and/or concessions. Others are simply soliciting donors, hoping the appetite to pay players directly will continue.”
