Who is your brother?

Very dangerous game if a school gets a rep for not paying up.

12/14/22 2:12pm

I think a lot of schools are doing it. That’s why the portal is crazy and A&M

BYUheaven

At what point do our now, non-amateur, college athletes start to sign contracts?

JupiterJones

12/14/22 2:44pm

How would that change anything exactly? If you're "under contract" to play at

Kajdin

12/14/22 3:07pm

Then you sue the school for breach of contract.

Cougarclaw

12/14/22 4:40pm

As this progresses, I don't see colleges wanting to dish out the dollars to kids

Yep. Except pro sports regulars all this stuff. I'm guessing they all went

Pro sports regulate endorsement deals?

No, I mean salary caps and free agency regulation.

Right, which is meaningless in this context because those deal with salaries,

CrimsonCardinal

By that logic, The Ute board is about male anatomy and ED. (mainly referring to your quote)

I would agree but for a few reasons…

Can you all use some of that money for a west concourse bathroom?

Mabuhay Coug

12/14/22 5:04pm

Because the word gets out and then you can't lure anyone, even with ready money.

12/14/22 2:23pm

Not even pay for play.

12/14/22 2:13pm

I really struggle to believe that. If true its a massive failure for Utah.

If the SCHOOL is promising this, it's supposed to be illegal. I don't know why a

Right, but they can make it so simple to fulfill agreements for cash etc.

I wouldn't be surprised - based on my meeting w/ uu/Whitt about NIL in October –

Criddle said on his show he’s heard they’ve raised 4 million

Benfica1

12/14/22 2:42pm

Most of the local sports media are Ute fans

I'mBatman

12/14/22 2:58pm

That's the thing. The NIL isn't for the schools to "raise". The whole ruling was the individual players
