    I’m Going to this game, it’ll be my first ever experience watching Texas on the road.  Any recs on where to pre-game?

    Are you in TX? If so I'd catch some games in the state while you can. Once we move to the sec the travel gets far worse.

    Well nobody is saying that. Texas is in a position to say "look at what these guys who were rated similarly to you at the same position made in NIL at Texas." Saying what you're saying above is against the rules. Texas has no reason to cheat. 

    Other than that, why exactly do you think

    What I think is that NIL may change over time and I'm curious what things will look like in 5-10 years. Hopefully the federal government doesn't come in and ruin things.

    He came in hard and popped Hunter in an almost bang/bang play. He could have pulled up, but wanted to get a hard hit in during a game with a lot of chirping.

    That hit wouldn't have caused much of a stir for the majority of the time the sport has been played (1900-2010 or so. )

    NIL is going to

     I just wonder how NIL will change over time because I don't see how it can exist in it's current form.

    Telling a kid if they go to xyz university and they will get $100k a year is payment for services rendered. We can call it NIL or whatever we want, but that only masks what the truth is.

    I always wondered how much of Campbell’s success was due to the three man defensive front scheme that he used to positive effect. It’s seemed to work well for awhile but then teams started figuring out how to attack it better. Many coaches win due to some sort of gimmick. 

    I'm no isu fan, but the defensive changes they brought to the conference were hardly a gimmick - they changed the league.

    Professional athletes, even in leagues with salary caps, are free to make absolutely as much as they can from what is essentially NIL via sponsorships, advertising, appearances, autographs, etc. Paid for by fans or people who want to appeal to fans. Why not college athletes?

    Sorry the responses are not linear . I think I said this before, but I agree with you (in bold)

    I'm distracted because I'm trying to figure out why a poster specifically looked for all of my posts, negged each one of them until they apparently logged off for the day and is claiming i'm a troll called animaltaco or something.

    Sports are different in that it’s not in a team’s best interest to drive all the other teams out of business. That said, even where there’s a salary cap — which doesn’t really have a corollary here — athletes are still able to make as much as they possibly can from their NIL via advertising and appearances, right?

    I guess you’re going to have to help me understand the relevance of what you’re saying to NIL, because I don’t see it. 

    Ya sorry. I had mentally concluded our prior discussion with your response of "I guess we’ll see what happens" and moved into different areas

    The fans and those who want to appeal to the fans, probably. That shouldn’t restrict the ability of people to sell their NIL.

    I agree.

    This is unrelated to our current discussion: I don't participate in NIL. I have the money to contribute something each year, but refuse on personal grounds.

    Many programs, including ours rake in tens of millions each year from TV revenue. The NIL should come from the TV revenue, not the fans. I buy the occasional hat and shirt. I buy tickets, food, beer, hotels each year - all of which support the team. I find it odd that as fans we are asked to do all of that, plus pay the athletes. Fuck that.

    That's just my opinion and I exercise that stance by refusing to give a dime to NIL.

    People might as well argue that programmers, or doctors, or strippers, or whoever shouldn’t be allowed to make as much money as people are willing to pay them\

    I get what you are saying - free market. Sports are unique, though and are governed under special rules and categories. No one is out buying hats, jerseys and lining up to buy tickets to watch their doctor or a programmer perform their duties.

    Every major sport except CFB has a governing body which sets any number of rules (including salary caps, spending limits, spending penalties) and applies them across the board.

    It’s not the sport, per se, though. It’s a market of people willing to pay to use NIL and those willing to sell the right to use it.

    Would you say that fans of a program are the ones that contribute the majority of the NIL money?

    I’d be surprised if even camera-loving morons are stupid enough to try to make this a federal issue. 

    On the one side, you have the free-market people and on the other you have the people who think college football has been taking advantage of the players. Which one of those wants to step up and say “no, stop letting them get paid”?

    I don' think the lack of boundaries for NIL can go on indefinitely before we have a bevy of coaches and administrators screaming that we need to make changes.  If the sport cannot govern itself, then the Feds may step in. You said it earlier but I will put it in my own words - we should never discount the Fed's ability to make shit worse.

    It strikes me as unlikely that a state is going to write rules that fuck its own programs. That, imo, argues in favor of less, not more, restriction. 

    There’s nothing the feds can’t make worse, so if we really want to see college football dead, root for the feds to get involved. 

    I'm guessing that the NCAA won't ever be able to restrict NIL and if we rule individual states out, that leaves the Feds.

    I would be surprised if something isn't already in the works on a federal level to combat the perception that NIL needs to be "reigned in". 

    Perhaps some bills will get introduced but die early, like at the committee level, because they lack support.

    Put in place by whom on what authority?

    The NCAA still controls the portal - I wonder if changes might be made there.

    As far as NIL - each state can pass laws regarding NIL.  I wonder if state governments or even the federal government attempts to step in.

    And one thing I didn't count on with the NIL and Portal environment is the rise of the mid-majors.

    Now we see plenty of teams like Wyoming and Tulane and Miami (Ohio) getting players that are plenty good through the transfer portal.  And it makes sense for those players.  So they can't start at Alabama--go play at Ohio (not State) for a year and see if you can't then transfer to USC or Ohio (yes State) and get the big NIL money.

    The next 3-5 years should be interesting. I wonder if more rules will be put in place for NIL and if they will try to clamp down on the portal.

    I for one look forward to the results of your investigation into whether the guy who always comes back with a username that involves some sort of animal and some sort of tobacco is actually the user @animaltobacco2 and/or @animaltobacco11 and/or @animaltobacco3 ?

    He is now also posting under bbq chips in the same threads.

    No.

    I don't know who animal is, but we are NOT the same user. Not sure how you came to your conclusion, but you are incorrect.

    you are dumb for thinking any player will go to any school based on him setting an unofficial visit alone. add in that its the likely #1 composite player in the class and that he plays QB and it's even more unlikely.

    if you think he's going there, based on what's out there, you don't know shit about recruiting at a micro or macro level.
