A CD that matures at the end of the year. I like it.
Oh, and opting out of a bowl game also forfeits the value.
what?
Seems like a positive development, so I will choose to take this as good news.
Does anyone know why Frazier went from Illinois to WVU? That would seem like a downgrade unless there was an expanded responsibilities, title, etc.
Amen- it all fucking sucks. And there are no rules
It's not 'lying around' - but accessible.
It "accessible" by cutting the Women's swimming team, foregoing maintenance on the Tennis Complex, or not paying to resurface the Track.
Its about choosing one form of athlete over another. Choosing the Football or Basketball player over the Non-Rev Athlete. Like that hasn't already happened---the Football or Basketball player is already on Full Scholarship while the Captain of the Swim Team is likely (at best) on a Partial.
Here's the best part---the Swim Team Captain and the former 4* LB (with 6 career tackles) now on his 3rd team in 3 years are just about equal in terms of real NIL value or likelihood of making professional money in their sport.
For some, that's perfectly reasonable, just the "cost of doing business," as they say. For most young athletes, its a shit deal.
Current Eligibility limits: until you can make more money doing something else.
Gundy and Norvell were told they needed to donate back in order to not be fired.
yeah creative financing and donations are not the same as base salary cuts.
Hope we pursue Hansberry. Big body forward with quick feet and not afraid of contact.
no no no...not "never" just after - her covid year, free grad transfer year, hardship waiver for a family member, juco/naia waiver, and any injunctions issued by judges ... after that.
She will stay until she runs out of eligibility.
::channeling my inner DC::
So...never?
are coaches pro bono
Did I say that? No. But they will take paycuts. Hell, you're already seeing it! Brian Kelly 'matching' all NIL gifts with a matching donation to the athletic dept, up to $1m. Mike Gundy and Mike Norvell both agreed to lower compensation leading up to revenue sharing (source).
We're seeing real time that coach comp is decreasing as players take more of that cut.
scholarships going away now
Again, you're putting words in my mouth.
Can we put the NIL money in an escrow account and it builds every year the player is here. But if they leave, the money for that year is forfeited?
Hidalgo is making 1 million a year from ND NIL. She will stay until she runs out of eligibility.
Welp West Texas Oil Money, Mahomes are 2 things we can't compete with. Add them to the list of schools.
In Whit's defense, his directive might have been win more Non-Revs sports.
Good news, what's this, I don't know what to do with this
Head Coach in Waiting? Glad Chester is back.
The new president of WVU has already been chosen and starts this year so i don't know what you mean the current president just won't leave.
Yes - Texas Tech's NIL Collective (the Matador Club) wasn't created until July 2022.
It's revisionist history to believe that the second the Alston ruling dropped, everyone knew what the landscape would look like in 5 years. Maybe you did. But Administers did not. Collectives were a pretty novel idea when they first started.
What did the shovel say to the sand? I really dig you.
What's the best kind of bird to work at a construction company? A crane!
Why should you never buy anything with Velcro? It is a total rip-off.
No. In the American Baller Industrial Complex. , every rule must benefit the player. There can be no reasonable rules that benefit the school giving them the opportunity or anything related to competitive balance. The machine must be fed- and one way.
