Cap Hill House Committee Meeting on NIL
- Thread starter NYShoreGuy
- Start date
I don’t want the Federal Government anywhere near NIL/P4P. They will only make a bad situation worse, and there is no reason they should be involved.
I think we will see some federal regulation that will establish a universal set of rules, but this is not going to do anything (in my opinion) to close the gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’.
I don’t think they are going to impose a salary cap of any kind. It’s an unfortunate reality but a fanbase that is unwilling or incapable of funding a competitive high major payroll will have an extremely difficult time competing at that level.
Congress is just going to ensure that UNC can compete with Texas, Ohio State can compete with LSU. This isn’t about maintaining a competitive balance between the 360 D1 schools.

The only way a salary cap would be instituted would be if it were part of a collective bargaining agreement.
The only way a CBA is hammered out is if there is a player's union.
Otherwise, it's restraint of trade or collusion.
I wonder if standards could be imposed by accrediting groups. Run an athletics program inimical to higher education, lose your accreditation. Amateur sports seem better for academics. Big money leads to big corruption, instutionally and often individually.
Someone has to govern in and I'd sooner rather trust the government over the NCAA, no? What are the alternatives?
Yup, and that's why any governmental involvement is just grandstanding and/or farting into the wind. It's all for show.
Accrediting groups ultimately answer to their members. They won't put themselves out of business by removing accreditation from major universities. They're no different than the NCAA in my view.
No way, I trust neither. Why should the federal government get involved in a private membership organization? And what could they ever pass that would pass Constitutional muster?
That means athletes are employees which means no international players as that violates their student visas.

Yes that's true, I'm sure. But at some point the academics need to get together and figure out what higher education consists of. They need to look at principles. Sadly, marxist theory seems to rule the day in academia.
