As long as you’re not flogging porn, liquor, drugs or Rx meds, it’ll be pretty hard to screw up that bad
It's easy to imagine violations relating to an appearance that the athlete and his/her school are both endorsing product x. It could be as simple as an athlete wearing school colors in an endorsement. I don't know where the line will be, only that it'll likely be crossed at some point. But I don't think the response to those instances will be to find the athlete ineligible, it'll be removing the endorsement.
I know many do not like FRL but they had a compliance officer from Okie St. on yesterday and it was a good segment on how they are handling it and then also check out Baschamania's recent episode with Tony Ramos as he posed a lot of good info and questions that their staff at UNC still has.
That's basically the point -- it would have to violate some other existing NCAA rule that was outside the Supreme Court ruling.
Which is why school compliance offices will vet the deals.
Deakin has another year of eligibility remaining---are we sure he is shopping for RTC?
He hasn't declared his intentions to return to NW, to transfer or to be done college wrestling either way. The "right" answer to give right now is he is either going back to NW or done with college wrestling and looking for RTCs. I have heard nothing about him actually considering transferring to PSU. We know he's at State College right now but he has also been at Nebraska and Princeton ... obviously just getting a feel for the programs. He can't transfer to Princeton and wrestle for them obviously.
I'll say this as speculation and I apologize if it gives people false hopes. Bottom line, Deakin obviously isn't dumb. He knows PSU has a need at either 157 or 165 and he knows certain things will be said to him obviously if he does trek to State College and here he is. I have no doubts he's at least thought about it if he's still here.
So you think once the school approves a particular deal, all questions about its interpretation are answered? I'm sometimes called on to defend or exploit an ambiguity in a 100+ page contract in areas of business that are far more settled than here, where there's going to be media deals with actors who are heavily regulated by multiple non-party entities (school, NCAA, both operating in this context pursuant to state and federal law), institutions who would prefer to not have to police this new environment; simply hiring compliance people doesn't immediately solve everything either b/c this will all be new to them too.
One reason the NCAA was so strict about its guidelines is because enforcement is easier when the answer is always 'no,' but now the answer is 'sometimes.' There's going to be a lot of play in the joints, inconsistencies, hypocrisies, cries of foul, and different schools will interpret the rules differently, because no one quite knows what this will look like, and some athletes will either be careless about adhering to the terms, or interpret the terms differently than the school. The ambiguities won't involve a 30-second car dealership ad, it'll involve their social media accounts.
As long as offending athlete is agreeable to forfeiting any monetary gains to the NCAA for questionable deals all will be good.
Or, paraphrasing Tarkanian
If one of the Alabama or Ohio State football athletes enter sketchy territory the NCAA may put the hammer down hard on Alabama St or Youngstown St to make their point.

Sheesh, it sounds like schools are going to need more Assistant ADs…. 🤔
Sounds like we need someone to start a rumor?
@thefanswin can you start this for us on a nee thread seeing as (1) you love transfers and (2) you enjoy starting pointless threads
Hardly. But I do think that, with 460k student athletes, the NCAA will pursue eligibility only in the most blatant cases. The NCAA's typical pettiness would be begging for lawsuits that they would lose.
They also need to tread lightly in regulating such activity, to not get sued for violating the Supreme Court ruling.
Most likely the NCAA will delegate a lot of this to the states.
I agree with everything except I don't understand how the NCAA can delegate anything to the states, other than the states will pass the laws permitting it. But the types of violations that will arise are way too small-time for states to be policing, so it's still going to be on the NCAA and schools to enforce.
I keep my mouth shut when it comes to law around here. Theres obviously some bright people here that gets it.
Now if anyone needs me to troll a site (HR in particular) or needs advice on how to do so hit me up.

It sounds like he's considering it. It might be easier to build his brand first as a college athlete than a RTC athlete.
His tweet implies he is planning to wrestle in college next year. He wouldn't have to worry about the NIL at all if he was done.
SPitt loves to be first anything
Probably asking for a NC

LOL Maryland. Because so many other schools to root for in that state.
Jaydin Eierman, Schalles Award
I'll have to look up the Schalles Award, is that for the best 2nd place wrestler? 😉
That’s the funniest post I’ve read on here all summer, lol
