So is there a 20 million dollar cap on NIL payments? I heard that somewhere. - DiscoRick - 8:49am 1/6/26 (10) [View All]
- NIL deals are supposed to go through a clearing house, but programs are ignoring this - NDNEIL - 12:33pm 1/6/26
  - I'd imagine so. Didn't learn their lesson from the committee. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:34pm 1/6/26
- cap is revenue sharing, NIL is not capped [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 9:22am 1/6/26
- The cap is only for funds paid to athletes directly by the athletic departments of the universities. - Baytowner - 9:22am 1/6/26
  - And RALLY is the official collective that one can donate to, correct? [NT] - volgairish - 12:23pm 1/6/26
    - I believe so. - Baytowner - 1:49pm 1/6/26
  - So then it makes total sense that ND can't/won't compete in NIL. For what reason do they do that? [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:30am 1/6/26
    - They want to maintain control. It is simply how they see it ethically - Baytowner - 10:01am 1/6/26
      - So they bring a knife to a gun fight. Seems ridiculous to ignore the reality - DiscoRick - 12:29pm 1/6/26
  - Correct…..so close yet…. [NT] - hipND - 9:29am 1/6/26

Not at all trying to be controversial here but I have a question: - faircatchcorby - 8:28am 1/6/26 (31) [View All]
- A lot of emoting and non sequiturs. - lacan - 3:25pm 1/6/26
- Can't wait to get a piece of that private equity money 🤮 [NT] - humbaba - 1:32pm 1/6/26
- IMHO the rationale for not joining a conference would be akin to black athletes going only to HBCUs - jrdjr84 - 12:37pm 1/6/26
  - Yeah, the committee will just say oops #13 again. Better luck next year. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:42pm 1/6/26
- ND played for the Natty last year and had maybe a better team this year. - NDNEIL - 12:35pm 1/6/26
- Honestly, uphill battle, but I think more large brands like ND need to go independent [NT] - ClashmoreMikey - 12:24pm 1/6/26
- Let's throw away 138 years of tradition because we lost a couple players - Nigel Tufnel - 11:58am 1/6/26
  - I see the tradition as being a Catholic fairh based ethical & elite educational institution. - DiscoRick - 12:40pm 1/6/26
- I think our (NBC) media rating has already stated that. [NT] - whatsamataU - 11:43am 1/6/26
  - Very revealing - WoodstockIrish - 12:07pm 1/6/26
- Re: Not at all trying to be controversial here but I have a question: - Altgeld St - 11:35am 1/6/26
- Im with you in this landscape....time to join the Big 10 [NT] - 81Brown - 10:31am 1/6/26
- Agree - FENWAY - 10:21am 1/6/26
- I believe NBC will dictate ND's move to a conference. - NDblues - 10:13am 1/6/26
  - Look at Indiana's 2025 Schedule. 2 games. Otherwise pathetic. [LINK] - Hensou - 11:27am 1/6/26
    - Look where they are and look where we are.So! [NT] - whatsamataU - 11:44am 1/6/26
- Greedy powers that be have managed to destroy the wonderful game of college football!!! [NT] - irishslovak - 9:17am 1/6/26
  - That and anti-trust laws. [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:27am 1/6/26
    - Yep [NT] - irishslovak - 10:16am 1/6/26
  - Disagree, the last two seasons have been exciting, entertaining and full of surprises. [NT] - NDQuebec - 9:22am 1/6/26
    - So is the NFL. College football was exciting without the $$$ angle... [NT] - irishslovak - 10:18am 1/6/26
      - College Football WAY better IMO with NIL. 12 teams + more Parity + better playing teams [NT] - KWIRISH - 2:39pm 1/6/26
- Personally, with NIL and the portal, it seems tradition is out of the window anyhow. - DiscoRick - 8:51am 1/6/26
  - Tradition is never out the window at ND. Joining a cartel is kowtowing to espn. [NT] - Hensou - 9:00am 1/6/26
    - Well, we're playing BYU instead of USC. - DiscoRick - 9:18am 1/6/26
      - We have a Texas deal signed. Miami is in the ACC. We are finishing up a home and home Just had tOSU. - Hensou - 9:48am 1/6/26
        Yeah, I get it. Fight the good fight and all. It just seems inevitable. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:36pm 1/6/26
        It may be more likely that the conferences will explode. [NT] - Hensou - 1:22pm 1/6/26
        That'd be ok too. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:54pm 1/6/26
      - This ^^^^^. It would be so much more fun to play these teams. But I wonder how much it would cost to - NDQuebec - 9:27am 1/6/26
        You'd think they'd just pay the revenue to the conference. - DiscoRick - 9:33am 1/6/26

- Illinois State blew it in the final 2 trying a FG. They had a WR who couldn't be stopped. Use him. - ELP - 11:14pm 1/5/26
  - I also saw some questionable coaching calls during the D3 title game Monday night. . [NT] - ELP - 11:22pm 1/5/26
