NIL.....

So Utah’s collective spends $6 million to give a Dodge truck to each scholarship football player. How ridiculous and horrible! When NIL passed the NCAA should have responded with very simple rules.
1. The school cannot promise or arrange any payments to athletes over and above a true cost of attendance and living expenses scholarship plus training table meals, equipment, medical treatment related to their sport, and training facilities and specialists. Any evidence that coaches, athletic department employees, or university employees have brokered or promised NIL deals will result in severe penalties against the school, program, and persons involved.
2. The athletes are free to broker and accept any NIL deals for themselves.
3. Any collectives must be established completely independent from and separate from the school and its athletic department. The school cannot publicize, support, or have any ties with these collectives. They can have no say in how such collectives choose to distribute money to athletes.
4. The signing of an athletic grant in aid should include that the athlete relinquishes any claims to personally receive income from the school for the sale of numbered jerseys as long as their name is not on the jersey and to media rights income.

This could have strengthened the value of a scholarship. It would have certainly opened up opportunities to be paid for any NIL value athletes have to individuals and companies. Because there would have been no ties to the coaches and schools in these deals, there would be no direct pressure exerted regarding playing time. For those paying athletes the situation should be “buyer beware”.

So, why have the schools rushed to these collectives? Because they want control. They want the cash to flow through them, at least unofficially, and be distributed the way the school suggests. The schools have been unwilling to use a portion of their media rights and sales to fund the collectives; they have begged instead for new money from boosters. The NCAA schools continue to use athletes to make ridiculous sums of money and want to have complete control over what athletes receive. They still don’t get it. The NCAA is an association of schools. What is wrong with the NCAA is the greed of school Presidents, AD’s, and coaches, pure and simple.

Bless your heart. None of those rules are enforceable. You do know that the NIL is technically supposed to be independent of the school, right? *wink, wink*

It's not all of the school prez's & AD's of course, but it is certainly enough of them to destroy college football. Time to blow it up completely and let the 26 or so schools that have fanbases that are fine with giving 18-22 year olds large sums of money to play form their own made for TV league and the other 100 or so schools can reform conferences based upon regional geography.

If the atheltes aren't performing as they should, can a coach take the NAME off the jersey? Or does it become a legal situation?

Possibly a legal situation if he singles out a player (could be racist if the player is black); but he can remove the names off all the jerseys. The coach can bench a player that isn't performing, is injured, or he is mad at though.

how is it that he gets to pick? If he goes in draft and is selected, he either plays or does nothing right?

He can say that unless I am drafted by Team X then I will remain at USC and any team other than Team X will have then wasted their draft pick. We have seen this before with multi-sport athletes (usually baseball).

You can enter the draft and then go back to school? If you don’t hire an agent I guess?
 
That doesn’t seem right. I think if you declare, then you can’t come back… Otherwise you would have seen people with a bad combine opt to go back prior to now.

Elway comes to mind as performing this stunt. More recently Eli Manning wanted to be the number 1 pick, but didn’t want to play for the San Diego Chargers so Dan Diego picked him number 1 and then promptly traded the player to the Nee York Giants for various picks and players.

This was my understanding as well.
 
To me its essentially pulling the corporate sponsorship off the player by removing the name ftom the jersey. Coaches need to get the teams attention from time to time by doing this(hopefully for us tonight). However because of NIL, i didnt know if this was even a possibility anymore.

Can you post the relevant data that you're using to come to your conclusion? I must be missing the useful information in the provided link because I don't see any disclosure of $ amounts of actual deals and certainly not a team level view.
