NIL’s

Wonder if schools require FAFSA to be filled out when giving an athletic scholarship as the school might be able to collect some of the funds. If so, students might need to disclose that on the FAFSA

Assuming I am reading this correctly, the quickest way to lose a kid is if schools try to get their grubby little hands on a kid's NIL.

Sorry, I meant school getting any of the gov't funds if the athlete qualified, but now athlete might have NIL $ to report that would not get school any $ back

Does the school legally even have any right to know those numbers? I assume that's what they would tell the NCAA if they came snooping around.

Don't think we'll ever 100 percent really know who's being paid what unless some legislator gets some bug up their ass thinking that NIL is more important than literally any other issue they have on their plate.

Request their tax returns 😂
 
Yes they fill this out. The theory is spend other people’s money first. So you try to get as much financial aid as well as academic scholarship money before spending your athletic dept money.
 
This is especially true in sports such as track swimming etc. for example. Say the track coach has 5 scholarships. You multiple 5 by tuition books fees etc. say that comes to 50000 dollars. So the coach has a scholarship budget of 250000 dollars and can divide any way. Ten folks get 25000 each. 25 folks get 10000. So first you try to get academic money and financial aid money and use your athletic money to fill in the remainder. Now its different fir say basketball in which there is a scholarship for each player whereas say track you may have 18 scholarships to spread amongst 40 athletes if you factor in sprints distance plus field events

Wondering if schools will release the $ amount of NIL’s that get paid out each year to their “student” athletes?

It’s not their place since they are not the ones paying the athletes. Athletes can make as many deals with as many sources as they like.

St. John’s has placed some limits in terms of types of NIL sources the students can use (no gambling or adult entertainment for example) as can other schools but they do not and will not limit the amount allowed for many reasons.

Thank God we have the NCAA there to shepherd this forward.

Am curious to how different it will be with Charlie Baker (former Gov of Massachusetts), rather than Emmert.

Baker is the real deal, wonder how much power he has to affect change and what he will do.

The SEC will use this to its (even bigger) advantage, especially with football. Oklahoma and Texas can now jump in the SEC(esspool) without a care and compete immediately.

The interesting issue is what about the Big 12. OK St., and the Texas based schools have a big leg up on all other members.

Does WV, KS, KS St., IA St. along with the schools joining in 2024 lobby their state officials to do the same? How does this impact future expansion for a school like UConn which wants to move there?
