Deals are not allowed to be used as an enticement to enroll at any school. Nor can any company participate in recruiting. Only employees of the university who have passed a NCAA test can recruit (which makes you wonder if the statements of Deion Sanders that he helped recruit for Florida State when he was not employed by the school will be investigated). Early report of NIL earnings were under $500.00. That number was skewed because of a couple of very large deals (some of which probably were buss for the companies that paid out the large numbers). Also both Miami (Fl) and BYU are under investigation for possible violations, although in the absence of NCAA rules on most NIL deals, I am not sure what of anything the NCAA can do about it. I'm sure all of the big schools are always on the "up and up". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will become out of control and make things very difficult for lower level schools. Based on this every school will be on probation at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The NIL situation is turning into the Wild West. I don't think the NCAA can control this or have the oversight necessary at the present time. I know UB won't be able to win the bidding war to land QB Caleb Williams. But can we pool our money to get a few solid recruits in here? We just need to outbid the other MAC teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How plausible is it that many, if not most, DI programs will contemplate disassociating from the auspices of the NCAA? The guidance of that body hasn’t exactly made life easy for the vast majority of schools. I would love it if a few schools would have the guts to completely sever their connections to an arrogant, officious, and hypocritical association. There would be an avalanche of schools following suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point the Ivies which turn themselves into knots to curtail the number of deserving Asians admitted to their schools. Who sets the rules? That’s a good question. I don’t have the answer other than to say that the NCAA, theoretically, allows students with SAT scores of 400 out of 1600 to play DI sports. And yet they’ll nail a kid (and school) for getting a free Whopper and fries. It’s absurd. Who sets the rules? Time for someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...Coach Mo and his staff has replaced those that left with different guys that may fit what he wants to do a little more...and we haven't really heard much about them until the last two weeks. This (and, perhaps, the new RB coach) positively impacted McDuffie and he decided to return. Go Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with McDuffie, Cook and cycle in Washington and some other guys we will have a solid running attack along with our new potent WRs.
