Can we change the name of this thread from “NLI” to “NIL”?

The first money earned by an athlete should go towards paying his tuition.

The first money earned by an athlete should go towards paying his tuition. First of all, his or her tuition. Second, would this apply to all scholarship students, like the ones taking jobs on M St. to help with expenses? Wouldn’t that defeat the entire point of allowing them to work? What you’re saying is abolish scholarships for all students. What would be the point when the school, like all schools, has a long history of subsidizing attendance? If the school continues to profit from student athletes, shouldn’t it continue to subsidize their attendance? Your curmudgeonly, Grinchy suggestion would undermine the whole point of NIL rights. I really don’t get it.

All. The only problem with that would be that it would give public schools an advantage. Why should a “student” earn money utilizing the school’s platform and go to school for free? Why bother making basketball players attend classes at all? They should devote all their time honing their craft and maximizing NIL dollars. You can see why schools like UNC have fake classes for athletes. The UNC campus is littered with athletic fields. It looks like IMG on steroids.

The first money earned by an athlete should go towards paying his tuition. This is so dumb, no offense. Just evil. Again, ALTHETIC SCHOLARSHIPS AREN'T A HANDOUT. These athletes bring more value to the school than the cost of their tuition, for one, and they bring more value than other students, particularly non-athletes with no discernible skill. Your prejudice against the value of athletics is especially odd considering you spend everyday of your life trolling sports online.

You can see why schools like UNC have fake classes for athletes. The UNC campus is littered with athletic fields. It looks like IMG on steroids. Why? Because they’ve earned it. People who work hard/smart for what they want in life are rewarded. Not always, but that’s the way of the world. Value is valued. And stop acting like every college athlete is forced to go to class. Clearly you know none, but it might surprise you to know some of these kids actually love going to class, crazy concept eh? Stop harmfully generalizing because you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. How about you go find a college athlete or two to talk to to find out how things really work before you keep besmirching these kids over and over. They are student-athletes. They can focus on sports and school at the same time and excel exceptionally well in both if they have the discipline (not that they need to do that well to have an enriching experience). The two aren’t mutually exclusive and for you to keep suggesting all athletes don’t want to go to class and that they should prioritize athletics just reeks of high school movie level understanding. It’s corny.

There always seems to be something fishy going on at Louisville, and you would think it would have a really negative impact on recruiting, but it never seems to. It will be interesting to see if the local product Rice, still commits to Louisville as has been rumored. It doesn't sound like the Hoyas are still in the mix on Rice anyways, but I think he is considering other schools beyond just Louisville.

Sorry if someone has already answered this, but has Georgetown issued any statement or policies regarding NIL deals? Has the Big East? NIL has changed our world. We cant afford to keep our heads in the sand. If our players don’t start getting good NIL contracts, then Georgetown might as well drop to Division II. Georgetown is supporting all student athletes in getting NIL deals. When it comes down to it, it is on the individual to secure the deals.

And it can’t be an individual who provides the sponsorship. Must be a corporation of some sort.

Having not researched this - are there rules in place to prevent a rich alumnus/booster from simply creating a corporation or LLC with the intent of paying out NIL deals? If so, the "individual" limitation would largely be illusory.

Not exactly a LLC for NIL deals but it is a large company with a very tight relationship with a university.

Didn’t that guy in Miami (not Uncle Luke) do just that … think he had an existing business but created a new one specifically do do NIL for players at “The U”.

It takes about an hour to create a Delaware LLC with an expedited fee.

It's basically going to be the wild west for a few years. But really this just hurts the Blue Bloods (who had a monopoly on the best players) so I think either way it helps us by brining more parity to the game.
