Commissioners from the P5 have already been lobbying Congress to pass some national guardrails (some exist now but differ by state). Apparently they have been receiving bipartisan support but let’s see if something actually happens.Hens79 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 1:36 pmAll of the above is worthy of discussion. There clearly are going to have to be some rules and regulations to NIL and paying athletes.RalphD58 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 1:19 pmWhen they started paying players I guess. I think if a student/athlete opts for NIL money, they should have to pay back the cost of their scholarship. Players that don't opt in for NIL money get a scholarship. Numbers of scholarships/NIL players per team stay the same. Just a thought and maybe it'd make athletes think twice about jumping ship so easily.
It will be interesting to see if the folks that usually abhor rules and regulations will support some here.
The major objection from some lawmakers is that the Feds don’t involve themselves in the actual oversight. I guess then the NCAA could be the regulatory “agency”.
