Have heard it is the 20.5 million plus “legitimate “ NIL deals that must pass approval by NCAA for example Zuby does a Mercedes commercial.

yes, but as Kirby Smart said, the NCAA cannot enforce even its own basic competition and academic rules, the NCAA has no staff to actually enforce these additional NIL deals. it will just drive the black market gym bags again to players instead of filling out NCAA paperwork. Even at SJU, with our overworked Compliance staff, can you imagine all the additional paperwork these supposed NIL deals will have to be turned in to the NCAA...its easier to turn a blind eye to gym bags.

Excellent post AH
 
The Univ. of Illinois men’s basketball stars “found themselves in high demand” this season and earned a number of NIL deals as a result, but “not one of those endorsements” was reported to the university as state law requires, according to Clair & Cohen of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. According to records, the entire Illini team reported just $9,100 in NIL deals during the 2023-24 season. The “missing disclosures reflect an indifference to documenting NIL deals across the athletic department.” Athletes from 20 sports combined “have reported earning only about” $1.2M in three-plus years. By “shrugging its shoulders” at Illinois’ reporting requirements, the university is “failing to compile a complete picture of how its students -- some of them still teenagers -- are navigating a relatively new terrain rife with legal, moral and financial pitfalls.” Officials from the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics say that they inform the school’s athletes of their responsibilities but “acknowledge they do not enforce compliance.” In a three-page response to questions, the athletic department “acknowledged students are underreporting their earnings and did not dispute any of the figures in this story.” The statement noted that it is “students’ responsibility to report NIL agreements and said the university has fulfilled its obligations under the law by paying for an app that allows athletes to do so.” It called the state’s disclosure rules -- which the university had advocated for -- “ineffective” (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/4).

Another factor is that kids getting the "extra COVID year" is phased out after this season
It means that we are back to kids being able to play 4 years in college instead of 5 years
This could somewhat reduce the number of "veteran" players in the portal in future years

True, when revenue sharing kicks in, that will be an interesting element of “free agency”. Two year contracts could help overall, but the absence of leadership in college hoops gives me pause on that.

These schools sell their souls for athletics and don’t even generate net profits. Ohio State generated 259 million in revenue in 2024 and operated at 38 mill net profit loss.

Now they have to pay a 20 million salary cap directly?

Must be interesting discussions on how the indirect revenues are attributed...Ex. would Ohio St. have as many students, especially out if state students attending & living on campus or donating back to school?

Can only imagine the discussions that take place.
