Isheem Young enters transfer portal
- Thread starter Chipper
- Start date
The stipends are also a new addition that NCAA did a few years back to try to head off NIL. And the fact that they are making more now that they’re allowed to is proof that their value is higher than what the NCAA cartel set it at.
Danica Patrick operated in a sport that had actual fan interest and at a high level. I'm not arguing a basketball player on the US Womens national team has no marketing value without a university brand. I'm arguing the average student athlete doesn't if they're out there 4-5 levels below the major league without "Iowa State University" on their jersey and instead have "Cedar Rapids Thunder presented by Hy-Vee" on their jersey.
Is the WNBA widely popular? Why would 2-3 levels below the WNBA be popular?
Womens college basketball would not have a market without brands that are funded by people actually paying to go to school and often tax payers. College football and mens basketball wouldn't even have it. They'd be AA baseball.
If a hot chick is making money on instagram with sexy photos she's not going to fail or succeed because she's playing minor league basketball in Grand Rapids.
You can change your avatar because that’s never happening again with the way college athletics is trending
Ayo. **** is real at the servers station at Red Robin. One food runner forgets to yell "corner" and this dream I'm living is over.
It's like a miracle we had a glimmer of success after 100+ years before it caved in.
The Nfl's a for profit business but they have a salary cap. This makes it fun for most fans.
This, whatever this is, has zero to keep the fans coming back. And it is about the fans to a large degree. If I wanted to watch a product where the players get paid the most, i'd be an nfl fan.
But i'm saying now that they need to... otherwise it's all about an SEC super league.
What makes college football cool is that it is a national sport. This is bad for the sport, for sure.
Well now that he knows he lost your respect, he’s totally going to stay. Good job.
hmmm...maybe then it'll get back to its original intent, which was an extra-curricular activity for student-athletes.
but how will I be able to fund my vacations and scratch my gambling itch by prop betting?
Just because it’s a funny fact the NFL was actually a tax exempt non profit untill 2015
guessing your vacays will take you beyond Nebraska, since you'll have more money to spend
“You can be anywhere you want in the world, meet different people and learn more than a hundred things in a matter of minutes… all you have to do is READ!”
So how old are these girls at the supermarket check out? Old enough that you won't do jail time?
Let’s do a gofundme to see if we can get Isheem to return.
I am fine with NIL but it should be prohibited until you have been at school for 2 years and have an actual brand or likeness to sell. (Or 1 and a junior for transfers). This would shut down the crazyness
It is not different for the successful female college athlete on social media. They are not successful because of the team they play for. Some of the biggest in that space I know of play for teams with little support. But they are attractive and are good at making material.
Think about it. There is a reason why they are non-revenue sports. Not many people care. But now all of a sudden you think people care, and the successful social media stars are because they play for a team no one supports, rather than why most social media influencers are successful? No, on social media, these female athlete influencers are their own brand.
There is also the fact it doesn't matter, even for the MBB and CFB player, in which they likely are getting NIL due to a brand that has some indirect connection to tax payers.
