College athlete compensation - NIL etc 💰

I’d say with everything that’s about to happen go pro-take the money and most will be able to keep College Eligibility if they don’t start college right away once everything gets shaken out. She’d be smart to delay Stanford to 2021, could pay for it with her sponsorship deal, be “team manager” still train/ get coached by Stanford if she’s hell bent on starting this fall, but I would say we would see NBA D-leaguers, bench players come back to College (especially if they never started at college) if they can all of sudden get paid to play in NCAA. The game is about to get very interesting on every level, top players not rushing to NBA/NFL etc… all of sudden it may make NCAA sports even MORE profitable and entertaining

Looks to me like his name and likeness has garnered him a position in Congress.

Originally posted this in the Transfer Rules thread but pertains to NIL as well:

Article that describes the real winners of this rule change.

Writer of that Greenville News piece making a lot of assumptions. The NCAA has NOT enacted any plan etc that will allow athletes to profit from NIL. Perhaps he’s getting it confused with the transfer issue, which does seem to be on a fast track for change.

how can the transfer issue be separated from the “image” issue?
let’s say I’m a pretty good PG playing at a “mid-major”, e.g., Charlotte. I’m blowing up where I am so I decide to take that scolly that’s offered from a P-5 school since my exposure is naturally greater there and the potential for major income is exponentially greater! Sounds swift to me! And i pull the trigger and transfer to GA Tech (AN SEC TEAM!!!) And I sit because next year they recruit over me.
forget the last part about being recruited over. I’m just saying these two changes combined might very well destroy a lot of 18-22 y.o.s who are open to be talked onto a disastrous path.
I don’t want to get specific in my example, but we have exactly such a player right now. My major concern here is not that we loose him, but that HE could be invited into a disastrous decision.
if you actually have big-time potential, get an agent the day you graduate from high school. and, oh yes… get somebody too tell you when the new-recruiting team is blowing smoke up your ass.
