It wouldn't forbade it but would make it less convenient. The interpretation of the NIL ruling is what it is though. Sounds like we should just suspend athletics?

From the BPS website: BPS Foundation, a Section 501(c)(3) organization, educates, encourages, and assists athletes in their efforts to engage with the local community through charitable causes. BPS Foundation lifts awareness of what it means to perform in a highly competitive environment by mobilizing collegiate athletes to help teach how hard work, discipline, focus, and continued education can make the young athlete’s dreams become a reality. BPS Foundation empowers these athletes to channel their energy for a common goal: to make the community where they live and play a better place. You really think kids care? Seen Archie Griffin visit many schools for $3k and deliver great talks, and not one HS kid cared. In regards to others, this entire thing is hilarious in the fact so many of you cheered this on when it was getting ready happened, but ignored people when they said be careful what you wish for. BTC - I was getting at the charade of community service and outreach the local papers and the institutional PR machines love to feature. As for NIL, I've been a vocal opponent from the get go for the very reasons that are playing out before our eyes. It's a free for all with "talent" going to the highest bidder. And finally, how much money do you think these cooperative execs and boards are raking off the top? 25% is a commonly quoted figure.

One is the outrageous salaries coaches are being paid and the players having their hands out. Two is the NCAA doesn’t want to pay players and have them be employees and all that goes with it. I think that may become a reality with the new organization the top tier of the P5 may be setting up and breaking away from the pack.

Problem is NIL is a law in 32 different states, there is nothing that the NCAA or any conference could do about this if they wanted to.

It depends what your priorities are. If you priority is restricting earnings to ensure parity and make college sports the best product possible, it's not a good thing. If you think individual rights are more important, it still strikes me as a step forward.

I guess my thoughts are Ohio would do well to define Olympic sports that are focus sports for generating success. Put more resources behind baseball to try and drive more spectators in the spring. Ohio has tried it with volleyball to some success. Basketball and football have a crowded marketplace.

Ohio has tried it with volleyball to some success. Basketball and football have a crowded marketplace. A small amount of the money that is now available to the big programs is being spent on the other sports like softball and baseball seemingly being the main beneficiaries. Not sure which other sports other than ice hockey and soccer as being places where much impact can be made. Ohio’’s overall athletic budget is so small relative to the big boys so it may be hard to find a niche where we can be very successful and if we are, the coaches will soon be bought to go to richer programs.
