# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay Except the courts, where the NCAA has been getting absolutely routed over the last few years, have continuously ruled that those kind of contracts were not legal to begin with, which is why we are operating under the model we are now. Once we started down this path, it was only a matter of time before a former player sued with the reasoning that current rulings made the previous operating model illegal, and as such former players are due a cut.
Kris Jenkins, who has had his shot replayed probably more than any other person in March Madness highlights over the last decade, is arguably the best person to bring in the lawsuit that blows it all to hell. If he can prove that the NCAA, conferences, and schools prevented him from making money off his accomplishments for reasons that are illegal now, everyone involved is super fucked.
And at this point, I'm here for it. Burn this bitch to the ground.
Never been, but considering tacking it onto a trip to Iceland in February/March next year, so following. Anyone know what the weather is like in Ireland then?
Sure the fuck it is.. is playing basketball for villanova his birthright? that mind set is the fucking problem. thousands of kids as good at shooting as Kris Jenkins never got that opportunity. Should they sue? Playing for villanova basketball is not a constitutional right. he could have 1. started his own league. 2. went to europe. 3. went to greece. 4. went to the NBA.
"You play by these rules or don't play at all". That's not what an agreement is
Doesn't matter, as you said before there was no contract
yeah, when he played he AGREED to his compensation and it wasn't illegal at that time. So none of this flies.
If all of these are granted and the NCAA and every conference goes bankrupt Im all for it. fucking torch it to the ground- pay the past players billions and the current players get none. money is not endless- fuck all of it I hope VT goes bankrupt paying Michael Vick back pay. Im rooting for it at this point.
CBS pays literal billions to air this tournament. Coaches like Beoheim used making the dance to extend his career by 20 years. Its arguably the second biggest sporting event in america. yeah Kris Jenkins, CBS is gonna show your shot. but the players will ruin this with greed of course-and cbs will be forced by a random judge to use AI generted players for highlights.
Fuck Kris Jenkins. Fuck him- hes not entitled to a fucking thing but life and liberty. Fuck off- he would not have gotten into any major university on academic merit. he used the machine already. fuck you
when was that?
definitely depends on how you do it of course. But for food at a decent, not high end, restaurant it would be 200 to 300 nzd (100 to 160 usd) for 3 ppl. Hotels were overpriced for quality as well.
Tickets to tourist things also were higher than expected.
just what I found. Not the most expensive place I've been but definitely more expensive than I expected.
I honeymooned in NZ and didn't find it that expensive, esp given exchange rate strongly favoring the usd. relative to a thailand or wherever, though -- for sure
next round
1) the most frustrating part of your job that makes you go" why the fuck is this so stupid"?
2) miraculously you have enough power on that time machine for one more trip. This time you can go back and change one moment of time at VT that you think would make a positive impact on your life. What change are you gonna make?
3) Did you pee on the North Pole?
1) nice. good times I'm sure.
2) My advice: Italy, yes. Dolomites to Sicily. Amazing almost everywhere. Germany would skip and go to Poland. Much better. Tokyo and Japan is a definite yes. Monaco unless you got the money or amazing F1 tickets is a pass. Australia is amazing, lived there for a while. And New Zealand is also amazing but expensive. I just got back from a holiday there 2 days ago. Great times.
3) Unexpected 😲
I'm in the same boat and looking at the bracket you didn't miss much.
The courts ruled they couldn't do that already.
Since when did they stop that? im the early 2000s it was standard paperwork every athlete had to sign pretty much the moment they first step on campus. I've seen the form, I've seen players sign it, even the walk ons signed it (which you could argue walk ons is an issue)

# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay That might be worse though. That would mean they forced players to either sign the nil deal with them while prohibiting seeking other NiL deals or take their ball and go home. Thats the antitrust part that comes into all of this. The NCAA would 100% control the price of an NIL deal (scholarship) without any competition
Unless the NCAA can convince that the contract he signed with the NCAA was an NIL contract.

# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay The courts ruled that you can't prevent players from signing NIL contracts.
And he is suing because the NCAA did just that while at the same time profiting off his image
Declan Rice. That is all 😍

# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay Except the NCAA wasn't giving the kid an NIL deal in this case.
How have we been hurdling down a path that a player signing a contract for NIL with the school and ncaa is illegal? The courts ruled that you can't prevent players from signing NIL contracts. So the courts can't say the NCAA can't have NIL deals with players, its against their own ruling.
If the NCAA can't have NIL rights then they aren't televising games any more, there is no match madness. Frank Loria's number is no longer honored in Lane stadium, Kitley's jersey is no longer hanging in cassel, Beamer Way becomes Spring Road again.

# | Kris Jenkins sues NCAA and every major conference for NIL backpay Won't matter if the courts deem them illegal, and we've been hurdling down that path for a while now
Yes they did, probably still do.
No but making all the money off of dedicated semi-professionals who create/are the product is ESPN's birthright apparently
