Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL)

The funny thing about NIL, is some of these schools can throw all the money in the world at players, but outside of the Yankees and Red Sox in Baseball, next to no team has ever “bought “ a championship. And imo, all were going to see is the same teams win and get to the CFP and win their conferences. You can pay for all those players, but if you have subpar coaching, those players don’t mean much. I can see some of those Texas programs crashing and burning, same with the FL schools.

The transfer portal importance isn’t seen by fans yet, as we’re still used to traditional HS recruiting. Bama has a chance to win another NC this year, and it ain’t mainly due to their HS classes, but getting Williams in the portal as well as To’to’. MSU literally turned their program around in 1yr and earned Tucker a massive extension based off of several big transfer portal wins(Walker being the big one).

But if your coaching staff can’t develop quickly,and have a scheme simple enough for transfers to pick up, getting that talent doesn’t matter. And also factoring in getting a mercenary who hopefully gels with the team and doesn’t throw off chemistry. And this is what a guy like Day is worried about. Day is still a young coach with a semi young team, and an alpha transfer can throw chemistry off and screw a team. But with the amount of transfers, good teams should be able to fill holes that they couldn’t with HS players. This may be where guys like Pantoni as well as analysts earn their pay checks.

Ask John Wooden and Sam Gilbert if money can’t buy a handful of NCs.

That was in the 1960s! UCLA had little competition, since then, almost every team has boosters. That example is no different than when the Yankees and Red Sox could out bid every team.
Your comparison will be true if a team like aTm or Tejas is in the CFP next year(doubtful). Until then, both teams spent a lot of money to be no better than what they've been for years.

Who would have ever guessed? i.e. a NIL evaluation algorithm.

Travis Hunter's NIL valuation soars after historic flip on National Signing Day

travis-hunter-nil-valuation-signing-day.png


As National Signing Day began on Wednesday, Dec 15, Travis Hunter’s Instagram following hovered at 193k followers. His NIL valuation was $393k, with a $3.3K Instagram post value, $567 TikTok post value, and $126 Twitter post value.

On3 NIL Valuation is a proprietary algorithm that sets the market on the actual monetary value of the athlete based on numerous factors – it is not an equation of actual deals or how much the player is actually earning. In many cases, these athletes could actually be undervalued or overvalued in real deals.

The valuation attempts to set the actual market value of an athlete, removing booster-led collectives, which struggle to accurately base deals around actual athlete valuations.

On3’s NIL Valuation tool will be officially released to the public on January 5th, 2022, but is currently available to On3 staff behind the scenes in prerelease.

Nick Saban, Kirby Smart both call for increased NIL regulation in college football: 'You're going to have the haves and have nots'

Alabama football coach Nick Saban and Georgia coach Kirby Smart both called for increased regulation on name, image and likeness (NIL) deals for college athletes during their joint College Football Playoff news conferences Sunday.

Without more regulation, Saban and Smart said the same teams are going to continue to dominate college football.

Right at the top of that list are Alabama and Georgia, who meet Monday for the national title for the second time in the past five years. Alabama is vying for its sixth national title in the past 11 years.

"You're going to have the haves and have nots, and the separation that is already there is going to grow larger," Smart said. "The schools that have the capacity and the ability and are more competitive in the NIL market are going to be schools that step ahead on top of other schools. So I don't want [recruiting] decisions to be based on that, but ultimately a lot of young men want to make their decision based on that."

Alabama was ranked No. 2 and Georgia No. 3 in ESPN's 2022 signing class rankings. Texas A&M, another SEC school, was ranked No. 1. SEC schools have won 11 of the past 15 national championships.

Saban said the NIL rules were a "positive thing for players" and that their ability to earn money wasn't a "bad thing." But he is concerned about how the NIL rules are being used to lure players to schools.

"I don't think that was the intention," Saban said. "I don't think that would be the NCAA's intention. I think we probably need some kind of national legislation to sort of control that to some degree, because I think there will be an imbalance relative to who can dominate college football if that's not regulated in some form or fashion."
