Agree with the pay to play issues but disagree that it will be a title 9 issue. To your point will a few schools do something shady and have it be a title 9 issue? Yeah probably. Will it have an issue with with NIL affecting title 9 as a whole I don’t think it will but respect your viewpoint.
Isheem Young enters transfer portal

And, your goin see players get in (real) trouble with the IRS.
Just got done playing golf in Cedar Rapids. Anything new? Everyone still pissy?
I doubt it. The new NIL bagmen will be quite versed in tax law and player finance management (at least the portion of the kid's finances that come from them). These kids won't have to do any work to get their taxes paid...
Everything that put us behind the richer ADs will just get amplified. The gap will widen. But that's probably not as disturbing as ESPN creating a Super Conference whose only logical conclusion is a Super League. In ESPN's defense...this seems to be what Americans want. Once we relegated the traditional Bowls and deemphasized the sanctity of the conferences tied to those Bowls; in search of "One True Champion", it was only a matter of time before the rich would feel the need to consolidate.
This isn't going to end well for ISU, but we're not alone. Once NFL Lite gets formed there will be many teams outside that group of 32 Super League teams. Who knows, maybe the resultant CFB programs get reformed back to a structure more like the 1970's. It'd be nice, but it won't be as compelling nationally...and will the process crater a bunch of ADs along the way? I don't know, but I DO get the sense that I PERSONALLY, will lose interest.
I'm sure they will be waiting their to provide audit support once the IRS comes knocking too.
The IRS can read social media just like anyone else. They know what sort of numbers are being thrown around at these kids. Trust me, the IRS can't wait to get their slice in what was once an underground market.
Ellis Hobbs might have been the only defensive back where it seemed like he was key leader and best overall player.
Why wouldn't they?
Like I said, the NIL money will get managed so long as the kid has value to the program. I presume tax issues with players will be on par with the NFL and to my knowledge the NFL isn't rife with tax cheats, at least not cheats getting caught...
Well thought out and appreciative. Clearly no hard feelings. Just a personal decision, and I cannot blame a guy for that.
I would guess he's going to have some huge opportunities for sure.
A little interesting he mentions his position coaches but not coach Campbell. I wish Isheem luck. However, who has been the last transfer out of Iowa State in basketball or football that has had a lot of luck? Wes Johnson and now Bolton are the two that come to mind for basketball.
"I would like to thank Coach Campbell especially"
Seems honest and heartfelt, a few punctuation/capitalization errors but avoided the dreaded "apart of" / "a part of" mistake that 90% of athlete statements contain. 8/10
