BYU Built Bar
In general terms, I think it’s very positive for the non-scholarship players. However, looking at it from a competitive level across the NCAA, BYU essentially expanded the number of scholarships it can offer (some of which would stay at BYU but would have contributed on the field to the Aggies previously). I’m also troubled that this deal would be illegal in some states. I don’t believe the NCAA is functional, and I know there are some bad actors out there (Baylor). It’s only a matter of time before some teams are paying gray shirts, or taking advantage in a way that further separates the top from everyone else. Good job BYU, but this isn’t a positive for college football.

Re: BYU Built Bar
I was reading a Boise State fans take on this and think it might be worth adding to the discussion. Will top programs start offering extravagant NIL for top players with resort living, cars, and cash. You can save scholarships for further down the depth chart while the top recruits don’t need a scholarship because they have piles of cash.

Re: BYU Built Bar
I'd like to see more discussion of how this would be illegal in other states:
But of course its no surprise that the local media is kind of ignoring that part.

Re: BYU Built Bar
I guarantee teams will try and get players with fat NIL deals to "walk-on" saving scholarships for other kids.
Related, with the top of the P5 likely leaving the NCAA eventually for their own thing, they'll probably also probably remove roster number limitations. If they want 150 players on scholarship and can get a good enough player to take that 150th scholarship, they'll do it.

Re: BYU Built Bar
Yeah, this is getting into pay to play territory. But we will not get that level of reporting from the media to talk about that. Rather we will see everyone talking about how awesome yBu is for this.
But I think it is the beginning of the end here.

Title 9. This could be a way to drop the women's sports that universities don't want to pay for. Drop athletic scholarships for football and men's basketball and fund them through NIL.

Re: BYU Built Bar
Why would Ohio State/Alabama/Texas use their scholarship when it could be used on a project. Sure the recruit would take the scholarship if offered, but Bryce Young is close to seven figures according to Nick Saban while having attempted 22 passes in garbage minutes. Does Alabama need to offer their starting QB a scholarship, or can they use that for the 3-4 star project at DT and let the NIL money pay the way for highly rated recruits.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑August 13th, 2021, 10:30 pmBut why is it mutually exclusive?

Re: BYU Built Bar
Valid arguments. Think it will depend on the kid I think. Some kids will go to alabama even if they are third team all their career while some will still want the opportunity for playing time.

Re: BYU Built Bar
Of course it’s only my prediction, but in general I think the star recruits will want more, not less. Maybe Alabama wants to give the 5* recruits a “well maybe you’ll get picked up in a NIL deal” but we’re giving the scholarship to walk-on level players.Full wrote: ↑August 14th, 2021, 7:28 amWhy would Ohio State/Alabama/Texas use their scholarship when it could be used on a project.

Maybe some will forego the scholarship their junior or senior year to help build the team more. I just don’t see athletes whose whole point in even having nil was wanting more, will suddenly take less.
It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it plays out, I sure don’t know- and only have my predictions

NIL money will come with an extra bump to cover any fed or state tax obligation. The net amount will be equal or better than scholarship value.

I don't think it would apply in this situation. The way I understand it, NIL deals are between private corporations or sponsors and the student athlete, outside of the scope of the school itself.

Re: BYU Built Bar
I believe this is a title IX violation since the school brokered the deal. We'll have to see if anyone thinks it is worth a challenge but I think title IX would force the school to broker deals for an equal number of walk-on scholarships for female athletes

Re: BYU Built Bar
Title IX also seems to be fairly strict. It’s not enough to try to have equal opportunities, you have to have equal opportunities to play and learn. Even if BYU tried to argue they tried to facilitate equal deals but couldn’t find takers, unequal is unequal.
On the same token imagine what happens when a business pays a football player $50,000 for an NIL deal but then pays a women’s soccer player less for the same work- and for the sake of the example have similar numbers of followers- I don’t know if that violates equal pay laws, but it’s not going to be a good look for that business. Rapinoe and Gloria Allred would wreck them.

Re: BYU Built Bar
Title IX could prove unintentionally problematic for the NIL deals, especially if a school helps facilitate it. Unless a state's right-to-know law applies, how would we know who is being paid what in these deals without either side publicly announcing it? If a right-to-know law applies, then anyone could find out how much each student's NIL deal is worth at each public school within the state. But whether that applies will depend on each state's law. Private schools, like yBu, are not subject to that same disclosure requirement.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑August 17th, 2021, 11:14 pmTitle IX also seems to be fairly strict.

If I am a business entering into a NIL deal with an athlete, I am strongly considering including a confidentiality clause regarding the amount of the payment, at least while there are so many unanswered questions this early. Do I really want a softball player knowing how much I am paying a football player? Probably not unless I am forced to disclose it.
