I propose new rules for the portal/decommitments if NIL is signed.
1. All NIL deals must be public record, in a centralized database. Anything not included in the database results in immediate loss in post-season eligibility and forfeiture of wins in which the player involved was a member if the team.
2. NIL differences must be based on a sliding scale determined by remaining eligibility.
So, new commit must be offered a minimum of 2x that which they've agreed to at their first committed school; 1.75x after 1 year; 1.5x after 2 years, 1.25x after 3 years, 1x after 4 years.
3. Additional 10% to the NIL to which the player was already signed.
4. Coach departures result in 50% lower differential if that coach is hired at the new school to which the player transfers; 25% lower if not.
5. NIL hard cap. Valued at 1.1/n of the median combined NIL valuations across all schools in each sport, where n = number of teams in the Division that sport plays.
5a) any percentage over results in a fine of 50% the overage, to be divided among all remaining schools in that sports division.

I propose something very radical.... you sitting down... After you graduate from high school, you have 5 calendar years- stop there- so If you graduate in june of 2025, you have until june of 2030 to be eligible to play college sports- PERIOD. Your fucking coach leaves, your grandma is sick, you blow out your knee, you graduate with 6 degrees, you want to transfer 4 times, you miss 2 years with injury, you played in NAIA or JUCO, You wanted to try minor league baseball, the NBA G league... the clock is 5 fucking years. Period. After that time frame, you are not eligible to play college sports- no matter how many injuries you have or majors you find that aren't at your school or if your coach is fired every year. Period.

How so? It was constitutional from 1900-2023. What IS very unconstitutional is denying admission to an academically qualified non athlete student while granting admission to an athlete that does not meet the same academic standard. While we are talking about the consitution here.

A suit in Virginia that athletes get preferred admission to a state school based on- anything- would win in court. Yes, we should open that can of worms. You can't have it both ways... You can't get into Stanford in the bottom 3rd of your class because you can run fast, then turn around and claim any rules are unconstitutional - can't have it both ways.

I do not like that. I'll take 5 years from first attending college and participate in NCAA athletics as the trigger to begin the 5 years.
I do not like the above because it incentivizes those with aspirations to delay HS graduation/completion in order to recover from injury/train for a year, etc.
It is not necessary to complete HS in order to begin attending college. You would see people begin to game this system in order to avoid HS officially ending in order to avoid the clock ticking on eligibility.
We want to incentivize finishing HS, not the contrary.

But needs to go out with everyone and limited to 5 years.
Currently there are people playing for too many years and with the NIL, the problem will get worse. Some of those not able to get absolutely PAID in the "Professional" leagues will be able to get BANK in college sports.
Gotta get a grip on that now, rather than later when it looks partisan.

That's too bad, we could have used him.
Good luck to him.
As much as I detest Penn State, who can blame the kid?
$$$
And a greater possibility of winning a team championship.
Which he brings.
Always seemed too good to be true

Make it so Number One.
Sounds unconstitutional

Well then it's unconstitutional to prevent people from playing high school sports
you should file a lawsuit and get back to your glory years

fine by me 🤷
We can certainly cap the number of eligible years at five.
This is more a means to stop the NIL collective from throwing more money at eighteen year olds than the United States Department of Defense
That is coming. Why? The coaches actually want it.
Maybe this is the ticket. The DoD subsidizes NIL equally for P4 teams, and the kids who got bags but didn't make it pro have to serve!

This was my exact thought. Honestly DC's proposal is VERY good in principle but it just needs this minor tweak.
I mean I, for one, wouldn't want to lose those hilariously old balding BYU players who started their college career after completing missionary.
They already do this. They call it a Grey shirt where a kid goes to a prep academy for a year rather than straight into college.

That's the end.
