House Settlement Approved

It’s important that hoops bounces back. Lot of pressure on Red this year.
Lots of pressure on the SU brand overall as the college landscape is going through the next evolution.

As for Red, this obviously will be a make or break season for him. SU cannot "afford" to have the program and basketball brand slip further from being players in the NCAAT. The goal seems clear.

Actually It's very possible that even with the talent that I think this roster has Red can't coach. But it seems this is the most talented group since Ennis led team went 24-0.
As much as JB should have left earlier, in his prime this group of players would be top 15 and a lock for the tournament.

Too early to tell how well this group of players will mesh together until we see them play. In any case, my senes is that your "top 15" talent is overly optimistic.

What seems clear is that the roster has been upgraded enough to give a clear indication of Red's coaching chops. Since he has already been given the opportunity to try to "play in meaningfully games" at the end of the season, all we can do is sit back and watch how the season plays out.
 

Highlights of the Bill from Ross Dellenger's Posts:

1. Codifies the settlement, grants liability protestion, preempts state NIL laws & includes anti-employment clause. It brings regulations to agents & requires that schools provide athlete degree completion, post-grad healthcare, etc.
2. Prohibits athlete compensation over the new revenue sharing cap and requires that all NIL deals hold a "valid business purpose" and align with NIL Go's fair market value compensation range and the College Sports Commission's anti-circumvention rules.
3. Authorizes an association, such as the NCAA or CSC, to require athletes to disclose deals and aggregate & share publicly anonymized data of those deals.
4. Allows the establishment of a 1-time transfer rule & eligibility standards.
5. Places parameters and requirements around agents, most notably limiting agent compensation to 5% of a total athlete deal. [Coaches told Yahoo Sports that agents are often charging 10 to 20%.]
6. Requires schools to provide athletes with certain levels of academic support & out-of-pocket healthcare for ex-athletes within 3 years of leavaing school; and schools are not permitted to cut scholarships for injury or performance.
7. Requires schools to maintain 16 varsity sports teams, the FBS mimimum, as a way to protect Olympic programs.
8. Schools that earn at least $50 million annually in media rights revenue are not permitted to use student fees to support their athletic programs. [SEC and B1G?]
9. Permits schools to restrict athlete NIL deals if the violate the university's code of conduct or conflict with any existing school agreement, such as an athlete striking a deal with Nike while playing for an Adidas school.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports believes this Bill has a chance to quickly move through committee and onto the House floor. Its fate in the Senate is uncertain.
 
College Sports Commission says NIL deals with Collectives need a valid business purpose. Collectives at some schools are shutting down.

 
List of Universities that opted into the House Case Settlement. Big East did. Metro Atlantic (Siena) did. Patriot and Ivy Leagues did not. LeMoyne did not.

 

Of course the agents and attorneys do not want an antitrust exemption and legal liability shield. They want the Wild West to continue plus the schools have revenue sharing.
Congress may finally step in and stop the flood gates. The house settlement addressed a lot of issues. It gave players revenue sharing and nil based on real business deals not pay for play.
Congress needs to pass legislation using the house settlement as a framework and put in some real enforcement action and penalties for violators.
