Arthritic is a good description of the whole NIL fiasco.

Schools probably funnel money to the collectives via some back door already

Guaranteed. Imagine an SEC school building a $100 million facility, getting bids

What do you mean? Collectives are just getting started. Why do you think a small school's data has anything to do with

We should embrace and assist in the demise of all NIL related organizations and activities

I’m not convinced our ownership will ever allow BYU to compete in that way to

Bluforever

11/30/23 9:27am

Our ownership has zero control over NIL. They can't stop us from paying the players.

HarlemCoug

11/30/23 9:50am

Oh yes they can.

Bluforever

11/30/23 9:58am

How?

HarlemCoug

11/30/23 10:03am

they can stop players from getting money from beer company or gambling company.

cwilke1

Who’s the we? I’m not going to start giving money to players are you?

EMAC

Of course I have and I'll continue to do so. Why wouldn't I?

HarlemCoug

There are ~130 FBS teams.. only a small % can support a true collective for NIL.

TheLost

11/30/23 9:22am

That small % are the power brokers and decision makers of college sports and are happy to see other competitors drop out

The racket has just begun, agreed

Well said! Who wrote that for you?

thirdgencoug

Because every other school is doing it, and if you don’t, you will fall behind.

LeGrandBleu

11/30/23 11:10am

You would donate an amount you can afford because you want more wins. And you realize that if everyone else had $100

HarlemCoug

I make $15/hr so no donating from me. As much as I love sports, the idea that

"with no return" isn't accurate. Sure there is no cash back but no one thinks there should be. If you had millions to

HarlemCoug

Agree... your "return" is your satisfaction level in the teams results

Das_Countach

11/30/23 1:07pm

Exactly. We need to get more $$$ into the collective. They are doing amazing things. They have millions

HarlemCoug

They are counting on the people who just funded a $76M buyout on a coach

Collective/NIL feel very different than Cougar Club, etc., to me.

Madam Pattirini

11/30/23 9:18am

Collectives should come with strings attached. Like you can get a player to show

ryebrye

11/30/23 9:29am

Wasn't the idea that players could promote goods and businesses?

Agree with this. Without BYU (or any university) their name, image, and likeness

The biggest part of the whole NIL thing everyone loves to forget.

Mitty

The lack of loyalty from the players is not what college fans are used to.

So by not not paying into NIL we are trying to "stop it" and thus are immoral?

I have no problem with NIL, I have a problem with pay for play

CameronG

11/30/23 10:59am

Yup, and the way NIL is set up and unregulated... it's just pay for play

Baloney. Nothing immoral or illegal about amateur sports.
