That's exactly why I posted the info about the endowments the other day. Syracuse is not a poor school. It has a lot of alumni who support the school. Syracuse is at 1.8 Billion while U of Miami is at 1.39 Billion. Syracuse just needs to talk to their alumni who are passionate about sports and get them to buck up before it's too late. That's what Wildhack and Syverud get paid to do.

Right but to say that anyone associated with Miami was not involved with the coordination of the NIL deal is ignorance.
I'll agree to disagree. People (alumni) are showing a willingness to donate the Syracuse's fundraising efforts. In 2022 you need to offer more that the ability to play for a HOF coach in the largest on-campus arena. Every booster (me, you and a ton of people a lot richer than us) need to be involved. Or at least a selected few if they are talking seven figures.
I cant believe that we are actually looking at the beginning of the end of college sports as we have known them. At this point i dont see anyway it can be regulated. The only hope is that the schools themselves will police this but im not sure how.
I think the issue is that the NCAA says you “can’t use NIL for recruiting” but there aren’t any punishments from the NCAA. Schools aren’t going to police themselves lol.
Nobody has policed Duke and UK for decades. Not sure what the big deal is.
If I win Monday's $421 Million Powerball I'll fund it.
So this means he's essentially going to play pros in a development league instead of amateurs until he can start getting NIL deals in college and then move on to the NBA?
It's still a prep school league. He'll be playing against the other Overtime team members and some games against other prep schools. For example, they played Trey Autry's team this past year (and beat the ever loving piss out of them I might add; they won one of their games against Autry 72-25).
Thanks
Yup, it's the NCAA trying to put into effect a policy that makes little sense and is nearly impossible to enforce. I know, that doesn't seem like the NCAA at all.
This K-State writer made an insightful point that player unionization may be the only hope at regulating the Wild West or the NIL era, because the NCAA may be too afraid to act.

Sherm, I think it was you that said somewhere that JB has grossly miscalculated the amounts players would be receiving, saying it would only be the star players.This K-State writer made an insightful point that player unionization may be the only hope at regulating the Wild West or the NIL era, because the NCAA may be too afraid to act.

“This is the new world, ladies and gentlemen. Once the decisions — morally correct ones, by the way — were made to give athletes the freedom to profit from their own image as well as choose to transfer, the barn door was completely blown off its hinges. There is no meaningful regulatory prescription for this that doesn’t impinge on the athlete’s right to market themselves, and no meaningful way to prevent schools from using businesses as proxies to recruit.”
“The long and short of it is this: if the idea of competitive balance is that important, the only — only — solution is the unionization of athletes. That will allow for collective bargaining between the NCAA and the players in order to potentially restrain this Wild West chaos. Until then, buckle up and get used to the new paradigm.”

He is correct but he and his school have been among the biggest cheaters. Maybe he just doesn't like competition.Bill Self: NIL, Transfer Portal ‘Out of Control Right Now’ - Sports Illustrated
The Kansas coach believes movement in the sport is not happening for “the right reasons.”
This isn't much different than sports academies that are run all over Europe and South America looking for the next superstar soccer or tennis player. It's what college sports should be like for revenue sports. Instead the NCAA was laser focused on keeping all of that revenue away from the labor and in the hands of the administrators and coaches.
