Awesome! Really and truly the way it should be. This eliminates pay for play. Too damn bad the NCAA doesn’t make a ruling like this - although even if they did they would only selectively enforce it
I get it conceptionally, but allegedly the university doesn’t control NIL. So how can the university ban it for first year players. Also if a business wants to pay nil to a freshman how can the university stop it without creating the same issues the NCAA has had in trying to regulate these things. Reality is that Boise State isn’t competing for the kids who are getting nil out of high school. So this is a way to appear virtuous without actually changing anything. Basically a marketing tool to try to turn a weakness into something positive.
Reminds me of the scene in Jerry MacGuire where the entire firm applauded him but knew it was a death sentence to his business.
UF required it at the beginning but now just recommends it. If you report it, uf will help you work through the tax stuff. Not sure on boise’s stance, but imagine legally it doesn’t really matter what their stance is.
