Read this in today's email from the athletics department:
Compliance tip of the week
You cannot use a name/image/likeness (NIL) opportunity as a recruiting inducement to have a prospect enroll at ACU.
Ok...how in the world is the NCAA gonna enforce this? And I don't believe for a second that it is not being done by the larger schools.

As the articles point out, courts have ruled that NIL is legal. Quid pro quo is so vague I don't see any way that the NCAA will be able to come up with anything enforceable. Just one step closer to the creation of a super conference for all of the big schools that is independent of the NCAA. We'll just have to hope that there are enough millionaire members of Cat Chat to keep us competitive.  |

Yep and why I said what I did about the schools that started the issue of college football being big business will leave the smaller schools in their wake dealing with the longer term effects when it is all said and done. Most articles I read talk about DII and DIII to get to what college sports used to be; actual student athletes. The trouble is that most DI, FCS, schools are not in much better shape to begin with. We still struggle with bringing in players that want "the show". Yes, we play money games and get slightly more involved with media deals, but still not the same as the P5 or G5. Our booster money and influence isn't quite the same either. So as the P5 doesn't care, and will manipulate any NIL rule anyway, FCS and smaller swchools will be left holding the bag on how to comply with the limited resources it had all along. Now, we know that DI football is changing and evolving, so that isn't set in stone. Still, I don't see this dynamic going anywhere.
