How WIll the NCAA Enforce New Compensation and NIL Rules?

[FloridaCuse]

Group of 10 athletic directors in charge of enforcing new rules under college sports lawsuit

Ten athletic directors are taking on the biggest lift in college sports, figuring out how to enforce new rules that will come into play when terms of the landmark lawsuit settlement reconfiguring their industry go into effect this summer.

The Group is tasked with coming up with rules and mechanism to enforce the $20.5 million cap on athlete compensation and the ensuring that the future NIL payments are legitimate and not pay-for-play. IF the House Case Settlement is approved by the judge in April, the new system and these compliance rules will take effect on July 1.

As the article states: "Among the group’s toughest chores will be finding appropriate sanctions for those who violate the rules."

They will only enforce the rules on teams that are not in the top of the sec and the big whatever number

There are only three ADs from the sec/big (for now) so I am not so sure that they’ll be able to throw their weight around.

Monumental shift: Power conferences, not NCAA, to control policing athlete compensation

A committee of power conference administrators took significant steps this week toward the creation of a new entity that will govern the evolving professionalized aspects of college sports.

The courts have already ruled that they can't make rules that are different then the states have already made. And unless the federal government steps in the court ruling will stand no matter what that judge says.

Congress will need to pass preemptive legislation codifying the settlement.

The Commerce Clause may be imposed. While States rights are very important, the Commerce Clause allows the Federal government to step in to smooth things over between the States and maintain some semblance to a fair system. This is not to say that this always works or is always fair, just that the Feds can step in.

With major college sports and conferences crossing State lines, the matter can fall squarely under the Commerce Clause.

And Senator Cruz, Chair of the Commerce Committee, has said he intends to draft and pass legislation on this.

If it's fair and reasonable for SU, then I am good with it. Though, with UT and TAMU covered under the SEC, I am not sure it will matter, time will tell.

Saben coach K Jb and many others are on board with solid rules and governance. Hopefully their thoughts are listened to.

On paper the framework sounds good. In practice, the SEC will go back to bags of money, some winks and nods, plausible deniability for coaches and schools, essentially what was in place prior to the NCAA losing its spine.

I'd rather have that then the current situation by 100x

Agreed, and there are always going to be programs that look to sidestep the rules regardless

Agreed.. this was my 1st thought as well. It’s not just the SEC though as many of the BIGxx will do bags as well and even schools in the ACC and Big12.

We used to have an auto dealer owner on the bench. I wonder why?

Any major program took care of kids. SU actually had a bag man. Forget the guys name

Because, there was a time...when very young adults knowing how fortunate they were getting a full ride at an institute of higher learning, et al, along with playing a game they loved, being truly grateful getting that surprise $100 bill in a Christmas card.

Especially when you could go spend it by hopping into the SUV that your impoverished aunt somehow just leased for you to use on campus...
