Subject: PS Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:37:51 04/16/25 Wed In reply to: Bengal 's message, "Re: Xaivian Lee has official visit to National Champion Gators" on 15:08:40 04/16/25 Wed I don’t mean to suggest this will, if it happens, do more than slow the decline of Ivy sports in Division 1 sports where NIL is heavily used. It might slow down for a bit the decline of a couple of Ivy teams. As far as Ghost’s comment, we will see how things develop. I will note that what I am talking about has nothing to do with University trustees or Presidents, as I think my post made clear. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

But any kind of significant policy change will have to be cleared at the highest level, look how long it took to get the playoffs done. Now you're thinking of NIL $$? Yikes.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: PS Author: M3 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:14:14 04/16/25 Wed Gifting players money is legal What the University thinks about it is irrelevant Suppose Mr Lee is given 1 million $ by an anonymous booster (alumni/ae) or other interested party? What could Princeton do? Revoke his/her financial aid? So what , kid has lots of money Kick them out of school for doing something that is legal? There are several attorneys on this Board and I would be interested in hearing their comments. NIL is not illegal and the University cannot prevent people from outside the University for paying players not to leave. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: PS Author: Lurker [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:27:46 04/17/25 Thu Schools have nothing to do with NIL. I am surprised we have yet to see it. $2M per year for basketball, $3M for football should guarantee IL titles for first-mover. Perhaps the fact that this advantage will be short-lived has kept it from happening. My guess is that half the league would swim in the NIL waters once the ice is broken (to mix my water-based metaphors). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: PS Author: sparman [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:45:29 04/17/25 Thu With the understanding that the landscape keeps changing, and that rules are undoubtedly more honored in the breach than by observance, under current rules NIL technically cannot be used to pay someone simply to attend a school. The student is supposed to be providing an agreement to promote something in exchange for use of his/her name, etc. This limitation will almost surely change under the proposed House settlement, but it is still the current rule. Also, there are various state laws that may apply. https://www.investopedia.com/nil-and-the-ncaa-8599762#:~:text=College%20athletes%20can%20now%20make,schools%20from%20paying%20their%20athletes.
