That does not mean the NCAA will do as the NFL does with its players. Singing autographs and the NCAA allowing them to sing helmets and jerseys are 2 different things. This is the beginning of the end of college sports. Whats your thought process on how point A (players can't sign helmets) ends up at point B (end of college sports)? Asking in a non sarcastic way. As for the specific point about copyright infringement and the schools having more negotiating power with the Nikes and Adidas' of the world that you've discussed in the last couple posts. Sure, maybe they can't sign jerseys or helmets, and yes sure the NCAA might flex their muscle with their equipment deals, but that's where the market comes in to play. It will be intriguing to see how that goes because the different schools have different equipment deals. For example, Alabama is nike, Texas A&M is Adidas and Notre Dame is Under Armour. However, the athletes can now take a picture with a kid and sign that or have a photoshoot with giantlegacy and sign those and sell them. They can get in local commercials or host training camps. Smaller brands trying to make a name might pop up and endorse them (think Big Baller Brand)... Basically there's alot of avenues that open up for the players to make money that they were previously prohibited from doing, and its a whole new pool of business that can be generated that ultimately should help the economy.

Dabo Swinney: If they want to 'professionalize' college athletics, 'maybe I'll go to the pros'"Who knows what's going to happen down the road? I have no idea," Swinney said. "I just try to be great where my feet are. That's my focus every day. Who knows? They may do away with college football in three years. There may be no college football. They may want to professionalize college athletics. Well, then, maybe I'll go to the pros. If I'm going to coach pro football, I might as well do that. I may get a terrible president or a terrible AD one day. I don't know. I have no idea what's down the road. But I know what we have at Clemson is special, and I wanted to make a commitment to the university. That's what the message of the contract was." Swinney in 2019 Time to see if he is bluffing. I do think that he is a great college head coach though. I like Dabo.

Here is another unintended consequence.... Top high school QB Quinn Ewers may skip senior year, start getting NIL money nowIn another sign that the NCAA allowing players to cash in on their names, images and likenesses will change the sport of football, the top high school quarterback in the country is considering leaving high school now rather than playing his senior season so that he can start making NIL money immediately. Quinn Ewers, who is widely viewed as the best high school quarterback in the country, may not play his senior season at Southlake Carroll in suburban Dallas. Instead, he may go directly to Ohio State, where he can start making NIL money now. If he stayed in high school in Texas, the state’s rules would prevent him, as a high school athlete, from accepting any NIL money.

I don't think there's anything unintended about the ruling happening here. The intention is to reduce regulations on these people's ability to make money. Also, a kid going to college a few months early doesn't seem like an overall bad thing to me.

And they will be making NIL money that could be in the millions? That's got messy all over it. I bet there will be some parents taking advantage of that. Time will tell.

Most top players leave high school in the spring and early enroll. From a moral perspective, it's not like they're dropping out of school, they're still going to the next level of education. And then from the business perspective, because I think you gotta frame it in your head as this is their career and livelihood. The genius kids skip school at 12 and go to college so they can get their degree quicker and get making money. These athletes career is well, athletic entertainment. If you have the ability to make high level amounts of money, then why should we (the people or the government or an organization like the NCAA) be able to stop you? ...I told you I sound like a republican alot.

There is the first big domino to fall as far as recruits.
The #1 recruit chooses Jackson State over FSU largely in part to the huge NIL contract and Primetime.

UNC QB Drake Maye Received 2 $5M Offers to TransferNow, college football needs a salary cap. My guess is he is going to make a ton of money at UNC this season, and a better chance to be a top QB in the 2024 draft.

Too much too soon, no education and no clue what to do with money.

Rampant tampering, inducing of college football players has coaches unsure about best path forwardIt's one thing to recruit players out of the transfer portal but quite another to do it when they are firmly on a team's roster Jeff Traylor was about to name names. A perpetrator from a Power Five school, the UTSA coach says, used an NIL offer hoping to persuade two of his players leave the Roadrunners. The players in question had not entered the transfer portal. All the participants shall remain nameless, but Taylor came darn close to outing the sources of his frustration only to ultimately remain silent. "You know what the narrative is going to be: 'The coaches are going to leave. Why can't the players leave?' That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you shouldn't be messing with someone's kids not in the portal," Traylor explained CBS Sports. The UTSA coach's exasperation took form a couple of weeks ago when he posted a tweet asking the NCAA how to report "Power Five schools who are trying to poach our young talent."
