College athletes and compensation - NIL, Alston v NCAA, etc šŸ’°

Read that article. The way the contract was written he was never going to see all that money. Of course, a moot point anyway since he ended up at Arizona State.

Iā€™m still expecting some schools to bounce from D1 because of this. At some point itā€™s going to hurt their academic reputation and theyā€™re going to cut bait.

Wouldnā€™t be shocked if they just go D3.

Difficult choice but Iā€™d lean Cal because the place is full of faux ā€œrevolutionariesā€.

Here is your 7 degrees from Olivia Dunne. Oliviaā€™s teamate is Haleigh Bryant from Hough ( Cornelius) and Haleighā€™s Mom is one of our own. A former Niner softball player whom my wifeā€™s sister played with at Charlotte. Haleigh is one of the top gymnasts in the country. Big time talent.

Bryant made her NCAA debut in a meet against Arkansas where she recorded the highest all-around score.[9] She earned her first perfect ten on vault in a meet against Missouri on March 3.[10]

At the SEC Championships Bryant won the vault title and helped LSU finish second as a team behind Alabama.[11] At the NCAA Championships semi-finals Bryant won the vault title alongside Anastasia Webb; additionally she placed fifth in the all-around and on balance beam

As always, good stuff:

Weā€™re going to have to create an Olivia Dunne thread since Iā€™m guessing that these NY Post pieces have nothing to do with NIL! :wink:

We could have a generic one for her and all the other instafacers if we could just come up with an appropriately funny titleā€¦she has her Zoolander blue steel look down. Wonder if she has to stretch for that too?

clt says she is winning the NIL game

I think @NinerWupAss said it best:

Why even have eligibility at this point? If they arenā€™t amateurs and it isnā€™t tied fully to education, then why should anyone have to leave after 4 years?
