Then if ND locks in a player for 4 years, another school would have to buy out his contract by paying ND.

Maybe that is what is happening, but it seems like they are offering 1 year contracts

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

Can you imagine this board if we had a Nico Iamaleava situation? [LINK] - Curly1918 - 12:50pm 4/14/25 (28) [View All]
- Funny how the kids are getting the negative wrap when college's took Billions a year for decades. - oldirish - 4:36pm 4/14/25
  - A guy who finished well outside the Top 20 statistically wants $4MM. - jakers - 4:02pm 4/15/25
    - He wants to set the market for a top 25 QB, maybe top 5 will want 8 million for 13 games [NT] - holybull101 - 5:12pm 4/15/25
  - Absolutely. I'm less sympathetic to non-FB sports, but football is brutal. Get paid youngsters. [NT] - LanceManion - 11:25am 4/15/25
  - Are the kids acting spoiled or is it the adults advising the kids acting spoiled and greedy? - Clem - 7:02am 4/15/25
  - Truth. And they getting HIT [NT] - KWIRISH - 11:42pm 4/14/25

- That’s a really poorly drafted NIL contract if it didn’t include the possibility of playoff games. - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 3:06pm 4/14/25
  - How would this contract be enforced against the player? - Curly1918 - 3:38pm 4/14/25
    - Hmm. Fundamental question: can the contract go beyond name, image and likeness. - NedoftheHill - 4:07pm 4/14/25
  - Exactly. Weird, huh? Imagine an NFL contract not contemplating the playoffs/Super Bowl. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:29pm 4/14/25
- Congress needs to fix this now. - AlbanyIRISH - 1:57pm 4/14/25
  - They should be able to fix this without government control or "help". [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 3:21pm 4/14/25
    - Seems the only impetus to really fix this will be when it starts to fail to the point that it hurts - TakethetrainKnute - 12:19pm 4/16/25
  - Delete. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 3:20pm 4/14/25
  - why should the govt get involved? [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 2:57pm 4/14/25
    - Agreed. They can't fix their own budget, nor anyone else's. But... they do know how to waste $$ [NT] - oldirish - 4:37pm 4/14/25
  - Some rules would help. A complete set of rules would be best. - ndphysics - 2:07pm 4/14/25
    - NCAA can't do it because the courts won't let them. That's how this all started. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:19pm 4/14/25
      - So we either need a collective agreement between 2 parties or some legislation which sounds silly. [NT] - ndphysics - 3:57pm 4/14/25
        I think that is right. Anti-trust exception/collective bargaining....? - NedoftheHill - 4:15pm 4/14/25
        Either way the whole free agent go to the highest bidder each season shit needs - ndphysics - 7:24pm 4/14/25

        "Nico Iamaleava signed a four-year deal worth $8 million with Spyre Sports Group, the NIL collective - TakethetrainKnute - 4:22pm 4/15/25
        I get the holding out part but should not be able to walk away and sign - ndphysics - 5:44pm 4/15/25
        I agree. The party you contract with has to be compensated if you take your services elsewhere. - TakethetrainKnute - 6:14pm 4/15/25
- If he were a superstar, the consensus would have been to pay him - ndunabomber - 1:27pm 4/14/25
- One man's leverage is another man's BS. This can all be addressed through contracts. [NT] - LanceManion - 1:07pm 4/14/25
