NIL, transfers, NCAA Policies and where do we go from here

@drgnslayr said in NIL, transfers, NCAA Policies and where do we go from here:
I think the transfer portal concept will start balancing out as time goes by (a few years).
Watch schools like WSU… where they totally missed the early NIL train and now are trying to catch back up.
There will come the day when an organic balance is reached.
Meanwhile… try not to think of adding more rules. It is a great concept. It’s basically “free agency” to players every year!
In the end, it will eventually be good for the player, which will also make it good for the school, which will make it good for the fans, too.
Not to mention the impact COVID and the COVID year are still having on this.

Johnny Jockstrap comes in to play QB as a top recruit to one of the four schools allowed to qualify for the CFP. But he surprises everyone by choosing KU instead of Clemson, or gasp, Bama. He gets an 8 million$ deal because you know, the other guy did. JJ is now a very rich freshman and he starts using some of that money to convince $ome friend$ to come to KU. I mean, just hook em up with a bit of cash, who will ever know? Not like he’s a booster living in the KC burbs, he’s a KU football player, an insider obviously. What’s stopping these sorts of shenanigans from happening? I admit, my eyes glaze over whenever they talk about money in sports so I don’t follow it closely. But this whole thing is changing the two college sports we all follow. Transfers? The worst change to college sports maybe ever.

Warning *take with a grain of salt Vernon tweet alert
Vernon posting that Wichita barnstorming event brought in 100k +. He also says there are at least 6 more stops & he’s expecting bigger NIL news to drop for KU coming up
-
I figure Wichita would probably be their busiest event. Probably won’t do $100k at every event.
Still if this nets $600k and each guy walks away with $60k that’s good money. I have to imagine there will be some creative ways to get guys NIL money with events. I would think that maybe the late night in the phog is an opportunity for that. Would get the ladies bball team some money too…
I just don’t know where the line in the sand is for where the school can and can’t be involved.

@BeddieKU23 I bet he added Remy’s jerseys. After the initial sale, remy sold 2 more I think, to the other bidders. Those are just Remy’s cash. Of course anything they sell of their own belongs just to them.
-
If I had the means, I’d jump on jerseys from Remy, Ochai & McCormack. They gave us some unforgettable moments.
Honestly, they should be auctioning some of this stuff or donate to schools and other charities that run auctions. I think that’s where they might maximize the revenue (although the donations don’t generate anything for the player.)

To me this reads like rich people have found away to avoid paying taxes on payments to student athletes… I mean it was obvious this is where this was heading. But this is essentially a non-affiliated endowment specifically to recruit players. Kind of crazy to say out loud
-
Not only is pay to play legal, it’s taxpayer subsidized!

Looks like Isaiah Wong of Miami will enter the transfer portal if he doesn’t get more NIL money from Miami, according to The Athletic. Same school that gave Pack $800,000. Wild year.

LMAO!

We brought in the biggest gun out there in the NIL arena https://twitter.com/mctait/status/1539035334821953539?s=10&t=zliOsNFrwG71nasQCGBGpQ

Great news
-
The biggest LOL I’ve seen yet from this organization
-
Help with “NIL violations?”
I read that and the first thought I had was something positive about the NCAA. I thought they are trying to protect the athletes’ rights concerning NIL violations (going to battle for the athletes when others were using their NIL rights without approval).
Ha… I should have known better!
-
@drgnslayr That’s funny! Have you been optimistic about pigs flying, too? Or the life expectancy of that snowball in hell?
-
Hahaha… I’m usually not that optimistic. Especially this summer… since grasshoppers have eaten all my tomatoes! lol

Try spraying bifenthrin (generic capture insecticide) on the grass (and weeds) around the the garden to kill the rat bastards before they get to your tomatoes. Will provide 2- 3 weeks control.
-
Hey thanks! Good to know for next year. I think I’m about done for this year. Since they were so bad this year, am I likely to have them back next year?
-
@drgnslayr They are variable year to year —Grasshoppers are typically worse in dry years. They do well in grass and weeds and when they dry down (turn brown from drought) they go looking for something green - your garden!
-
I had high grass near my garden. I’ll make sure that is gone between now and next year!
-
-
Good or bad for us?
-
No idea, but Dan Wolken sucks
-
I’ve learned the hard way to limit my expectation/interpretation comments.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich no post season bans.
-
Sounds like posturing for the release of their verdict on KU.

Am I reading this right?
“We are basically ending harsh penalties that punish today’s players from past school affairs. No more long, drawn-out investigations. This will become law after we stretch out the Kansas decision and then penalize the f out of them!”

I think we’ll see a suspension for Kurt and Bill, but not much else. I’d be surprised if the ban was longer than 10 games.

… it could explain the recent return of Dooley to get some more coaching experience into the program…

It seems to me to be extremely cruel punishment. We’ve had to live under the investigation cloud already for several years… and now punish us for something that is basically legal today. I know I’m repeating myself but… Zion and Duke!

And the most damning evidence that’s public knowledge about KT involves Zion, lol!

My brother got an MIP a week before his 21st birthday. When asked by the judge if he learned anything he said, “I’ll never do that again” (he was 21 by the court date). This feels similar.
