New NYS NIL law

[Orangezoo]

Out or not these guys still are happy to toy around with it on social media...

From one side it was.

Maybe there was more to it than has become public.

I'm still not seeing the HOW part of this.

Why can't the NCAA just say, "If you don't comply with an investigation, you're ineligible to compete in our games."

If the answer is that the NYS school would just say, "We are prohibited, by law, from compliance in your investigation, so we will sue the NCAA if it penalizes us," then i guess that's my answer. But, isn't the NCAA a private organization? Can't they invite/disinvite anyone they want?

If states can just arbitrarily make their own laws governing interstate athletics... we have no rules whatsoever. Kinda reminds me of national elections.

The law (as I read what was posted) prohibits an investigation about NIL. It doesn’t prohibit cooperation by a school. In the end, I think your position is correct. The state has seemingly voided part of the contract between the NCAA and member schools. As much as I hate Congress, it needs to get involved in order to have uniformity.

I only have one side of the story, and from his perspective, there was no communication from the chancellor with regard to how he conducted his NIL activities. He hired a lawyer to make sure he didn’t break any rules, but the university shut him down without offering any compromise or anything.

1- Pretty sure the NCAA would say we are a private organization. To be apart of this organization you have to follow our rules. If you choose not to follow our rules, then you will not be apart of our organization. Which may lead to bigger and other issues. But no way can the NCAA allow certain schools to do whatever they want and not penalize them and then penalize others.

2- Regardless of the above, this is the prime example of why you never burn a bridge. You never know when it may be advantageous to keep the lines open for business’s. With this new rule, if it was allowed, would be beneficial for the school to have a relationship with Adam. I don’t care what happened behind the scenes. The foresight of this administration (chancellor) is boarder line criminal. The LA issue is just another prime example of allowing the current outdated, illogical system to continue to hurt young students. Not just athletic students, but all students. No vision or foresight into the future.

The University was one of the main lobbyists for this new bill. It's not like the Weitsman spat happened without the knowledge that they would be pushing this.

Thanks.
I just don’t understand how it’s possible to prohibit an investigation. How does NY tell ‘Baxter in Indianapolis’ he/she can’t look into rules-violating payments made through a bank based in Delaware?

However it works/doesn’t work, this seems like one of those Bannonesque moves that is meant to benefit a set of entities but then actually destroys the larger entity, affecting all.

Didnt he say on this very board that he wasnt going to comment publicly about this anymore?

I believe so. Albeit this is the lawyer passing it along albeit he shared in his story...

It still irritates him. He could have helped bring talent here without fear of sanctions. He also had some really cool celebrities lined up to come to the Dome.

 

[orangefog]

So he lied when he said he wasnt going to comment about it on the board?

I have no beef that it irritates him, but no need to suggest he was done...when clearly he's not.

To be fair, did he comment on it? I think he just shared something that he was tagged in.

Exactly, thank you. That was from another source, he didn’t write that. And, charge your phone.

I mean, he typed that out. He didn't just hit share. For a guy that wasn't going to comment on the NIL stuff anymore, he sure likes to share things about NIL every couple weeks. And that's not my phone, it was a screenshot sent to me.

I was just joking about charging your phone. I haven’t seen any thoughts from AW on his social media regarding NIL. He shares things, because this whole situation is frustrating.

But his personal account literally typed it about the nil…

But they didn't know then if they'd be successful.

But was SU without fear of adverse consequences?

No they didn't, but we can't act like each of these things happened in a vacuum independent of one another.

Wow. That second part especially sounds pretty sketchy. Doesn't it actually place arbitrary unfair limits on an athletes ability to benefit from their NIL?
