It appears as though the proposed House v NCAA settlement will go into effect for the 25-26 season.

- Football rosters will be limited to 105 as well as scholarships increasing to as many as 105 if fully funded.
- Athletic departments will have approx $20.5M to pay to student athletes
- Name Image and Likeness (NIL) will likely have some guardrails to avoid pay-for-play

The vast majority of the $20.5M will go toward football (probably $15M of the $20.5M).

My question to @DMoney and the insiders is will this be good, bad, or neutral for Miami football?

This has the potential to go back to the $EC cheating with under the table cash again if the NCAA is too strict on the collectives ... everyone will be playing with the same "salary cap" but then Tenn will be back to handing out McDonalds bags.

This part. I don't like it. It's the same in theory to everyone just offering 85 scholarships as "compensation". The NCAA want control over NIL, Supreme Court already weighed in that you cannot restrict it. We will see how that plays out going forward and what "guardrails" are allowed to be put in place. But yea, essentially dark money will be back and NCAA will pick and choose who they enforce the rules on.

Will wait to hear what others say with a legal background on the details, but on the surface, smells stinky to me.

Schools will be able to spend a maximum of $20.5M in additional money.

But here's the problem. Schools aren't required to fully fund revenue sharing. Its an "up to" number. Not a minimum or set in stone requirement.

So yeah.. the max we can spend is $20.5M. But there's no guarantee Miami will commit to spending that much.

This is why getting into the B1G or SEC is so important. The additional revenue sure wouldn't hurt.
 
@DMoney can we please have your take on this? I remember you doing a podcast about this and stating that the NCAA was trying to do away with NIL but clearly, they lost that battle a few months ago when the judge sent their proposal back to them and said you can’t limit NIL which is against the law. so is this proposed settlement a good thing and it doesn’t limit NIL correct?

I’m still waiting for the dust to settle a bit. The concern is that someone like Tommy Tuberville may be able to push through some legislation favorable to the NCAA and limiting to the players.
 
For someone that practices law, how is that getting pushed through? They are going to start monitoring Livvy Dunne’s money now?

Meanwhile some nerds are making $1M for winning a video game tournament at 13yo

Exactly! The problem is, the players have no one to negotiate looking out for their best interest. In theory it’s the ncaa, but we all know they only want power and control.

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where any legislation makes things better for the players. If I were the athletes I’d fight like **** against any regulation. Let free markets determine value.

Any idea of a salary cap that doesn’t involve a percentage of television revenue should be a non-starter.

That piece of **** said Indiana bought their team.....so ironic coming from him
 
Tuberville can try but the Supreme Court has been very clear any arbitrary caps on Name Image and Likeness will not fly. Justice Kavanaugh already dressed them down pretty bad.

I mean think of it this way, would you be in favor of a government agency acting as a clearinghouse determining what your Name Image and Likeness are worth? That is un-American as it gets. No way Justices like Kavanaugh, Thomas, or Roberts even entertain those arguments.

What gonna happen is revenue sharing is gonna happen in addition to NIL. The schools who care will remain the same, the schools who don’t will remain the same but gap will grow between them.
