I can see this happening over and over again.

"It's a classic con game on a 19-year-old," Hardin said.

The irony of Rashada's attorney's words. No more of a "classic con game" than is the facade of NIL vs. what in all reality it is, and everyone knows it is, pay for play.

This has rather predictably/quickly evolved into precisely what many predicted would happen relative to NIL. That being, an absolute crock where its principle/intent never stood a chance in playing out.

Undoubtedly, more suits of this nature are likely to follow, further exacerbating and exposing the fraudulent nature NIL in its current state is, which encompasses this comprehensive chit show college revenue sports has become.

100% clear as day foreseeable IMO.

And it’s turning off all the fans, you know, the people who actually fund all this stuff. Without fans bases, there is no money and no TV revenue, no ticket and merchandise sales, and indeed no big time college sports. All of this greed, from schools to the coaches to the athletic departments to the players, is really hurting college sports.

And despite all that, this is still better than what was going on before.

I hope this happen 500 times more. Blow the system up.

Jaden Rashada: University of Georgia quarterback sues rival university head coach and others alleging broken promises worth millions | CNN

University of Georgia quarterback Jaden Rashada filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday accusing University of Florida head football coach William “Billy” Napier and others of fraud and failing to pay a purportedly promised $13.85 million name, image and likeness (NIL) agreement.

Gaming the system. Learning curve rising quickly.

Speaking of Georgia…

“An AJC analysis indicated that the NIL deals — and the players’ high-performance rides — have fueled the higher speeds. Last year, my colleagues wrote: “In 2019, before the NIL, Georgia players who received speeding citations drove an average of 54 mph. So far in 2023, the average speed is 79.” “

I hope he wins.

Taking the NIL equation out of it. Contracts law is long settled and he could have a very strong case.

Kirby's a great coach, but he's on the Phil Fulmer track.

Is this because, given the nature of NIL, financial backers are expecting a higher level of accountability? Or are players no longer insulated by the university/team/coach?

You hope he wins.. Yes, that would definitely be a positive for the future of college sports if a high school kid gets 13. whatever million from some random NIL offer. I'm so excited for the seasons to come. It seems so promising.

They're buying Porsche Panameras and faster Dodge Chargers (WHY?) instead of cheap-o used cars.

ivy league football is really pretty good. as is the patriot league and others.

I think the fully grown (mostly) men who make these promises to kids should be held to them. If this is considered a valid contract it must be enforced.

Bad actors always screw things up. Sounds like classic bait and switch.

It would be a positive if scummy boosters and administrators were held to their word.

A pox on all parties, and especially on the creators of NIL.

For a great number of reasons.

 

[newmexicuse]

This is real easy to fix, just have a written NIL contract so that both the student-athlete and the schools (boosters) are protected and take last minute greed out of the equation.

How dare student athletes make money off their name, image and likeness! That money should rightfully be going to NCAA, conference and athletic department execs, and lets not forget ESPN and Fox execs!

No issue making money off nil provided it is what the player would actually receive in the market. Feel the structure of the court settlement will stop pay for play. Now anything involving 3rd party over $600 will have to be reported.

What the players receive is the market. If the market wants to "overpay" then that's the market's fault, not the players.

And NIL is ordered by the Supreme Court. There's no going back even with the NCAA/Congress settlement.

The NCAA (and conferences and schools) caused this mess with their greed and wanting to keep the entire pie for themselves. I don't love what it's done to college sports, but very few people were standing up for athletes. The NCAA can only do what its member institutions demanded from it. Ironically, the athletes' greed is going to break down the system even more. But I'm glad they're getting paid and I love the seething jealousy from "fans" who hate that some of these kids are richer than them.
