    Agreed... still more known then Napier. Texas is still Texas, Sark can point to USCw/NFL experience/Bama. Miami can still point to NFL players.... Mario can pull Herbert out his a$$, he's an alum, it's south Florida, and include the NiL opportunities being thrown at these kids possibly.

    Napier doesn't have a QB he can point to as evidence of development. He can highlight Louisiana players that have made the league, but they're not known players (the San Fran rb maybe).

    Not knocking anyone's concerns regarding recruiting... I'm just not overreacting over June commitments. Let's see how things look in October, after a few games have been played

    This scUM madness just has to blow up. They are being far too obvious about pay for play and I can’t imagine even the impotent NCAA ignoring it forever. Even Saban has called out the Aggies, and right now scUM is making that look like small potatoes.

    I firmly believe Ruiz is pushing this to the hilt because he ultimately wants litigation, only after he’s bought a top-shelf roster. His ilk is so bad for college ball, imho.

    Wouldn't those "paid for roster" be declared ineligible to play for them then?

    Napier is not known. Again like I’ve stated elsewhere. It’s either lack of funding/ collective not knowing what to do and BN is not going to recruit with these guys. My guess is it’s a combo of the two.

    Declared ineligible by who/whom? The NC2A is a useless limp noodle, and he knows it, hence why he’s doing this.

    Isn't the state of Florida in on making the laws that govern NIL in FL...so couldn't the state step in if schools are breaking the law?I am not talking about the NCAA here..but the actual law

    Yes. I’m sitting patiently wondering how this will play out. This should be jail time stuff,not just eligibility.

    I understand that SCOTUS took power away from the NCAA (like they had any power to begin with), but there shouldn’t be any laws prohibiting an organization to make rules you either adhere to, or you are deemed ineligible for rewards and awards.

    Example: sure Miami you can pay anybody as much as you want - knock yourself out - BUT because you violated rule # x and rule # y, you are ineligible for any conference title, any bowl game, or any shot at a national championship. This should be easy - I don’t buy that they can’t do it.

    They do have those rules, but they have no power to investigate the breaking of the rules. You’d think Ruiz bragging on twitter would be enough, but even fbi wire taps are apparently insufficient.

    The ncaa has stated they will not be penalizing players for breaking NIL rules but penalizing the schools only. What penalties they may impose on a school, don’t know.

    scholarship reductions won’t matter as NIL could pay for them
    Bowl bans? Hurts both the school but all players as well
    Recruiting restrictions like no official visits or show cause penalties?

    I don’t really know

    the ncaa has been hesitant to do anything to infringe on the players with NIL and many here have mentioned they are scared of litigation that would be brought due to penalizing the players.

    however, the schools are supposedly still under the ncaa and the ncaa will be less afraid of litigation from the schools vs litigation around players. Still wussies who are afraid of everyone but..I’m guessing they think they like their chances better and putting schools on probation or whatever vs making kids ineligible.

    las always, without any real power to get statements and evidence..how can ncaa really prove anything?

    And yet every now and then they decide to make an example of somebody - of course the target of their choosing. You can’t trust them to be consistent - or rational - certainly not purposeful. They’re still dangerous- that’s the problem, especially for a school who has been on the receiving end of their ‘selective enforcement of the rules’ and paid a very high price while cheating all around us continued unabated

    My guess, those lawyers putting the bill now on nil are just setting themselves up when they legalized agents in the college level (HS next).
