Does a grownup need to explain to you how the world works?not as much faith in Mateer as there is on these boards it would appear...
They dropped the rule because a court ruled that it likely violates anti-trust laws. Which seems like utter horseshit to me, especially when players are now getting paid to play.I just read about how this happened. Williams was able to transfer because the NCAA dropped their one transfer before graduation without penalty rule. What a crock of shit. Zero rules for this nonsense.
Unfortunately, it does violate anti-trust laws, as other students can transfer as many times as they want.They dropped the rule because a court ruled that it likely violates anti-trust laws. Which seems like utter horseshit to me, especially when players are now getting paid to play.
Other students aren’t getting paid to be there, and didn’t sign a contract to be.Unfortunately, it does violate anti-trust laws, as other students can transfer as many times as they want.
This will be the only way to get these players to stay. Have them sign a 4 year contract laced with incentives for each year and include a massive buyout clause for any school looking to come poach.I hate this ability to transfer, but I get it.
It'd be nice if they could figure out a way better to stay at a school for 4 years, but again... I get it.
Contracts need to happen from the get go is the only solution I can see. Real College athletics is gone
Have to include some performance standards too, to make it reasonable.This will be the only way to get these players to stay. Have them sign a 4 year contract laced with incentives for each year and include a massive buyout clause for any school looking to come poach.
Athletes can transfer as many times as they want as well. They just couldn't compete without sitting out a year on a second transfer. The irony in all of this is it is building a case for the courts to say these aren't really students they are employees.Unfortunately, it does violate anti-trust laws, as other students can transfer as many times as they want.
I'd say more like a Tidal Effect. All it takes is one player to sue and the courts to agree they need to be treated as an employee. Then what? Well look to the other student athletes in other sports such as Rowing, Track, Tennis etc to bring a suit to demand their status to equal that of the football team. And just like that, college athletics no longer exists.Have to include some performance standards too, to make it reasonable.
It’ll end up turning players into employees, which has other ripple effects, but seems like the way things need to go.
I agree, I have wondered about the other sports not getting the same treatment ever since pay for play was first proposedI'd say more like a Tidal Effect.

well, due to the USWNT winning their suit, you're going to see women's non-revenue sport "X" get paid $150k per season just like the football players. Or whatever the amount is.I agree, I have wondered about the other sports not getting the same treatment ever since pay for play was first proposed
What is the ncaa supposed to do? They have been sued into irrelevance, anything they would do will be challenged in court.

Long story short - if there is a way to screw this up any further than it already is, the NCAA will figure it out, and the quickest way to that destination is to make players employees.
this.NIL is independent of the ncaa
