no offense but there's pretty much no perfect way to implement NIL. This chaos was bound to happen no matter how nil is implemented. I mean I believe there was a reason why NIL has never been a thing for a while now; because the people knew it was going to ruin the sport. Do I support players getting paid? Yes but I also know that NIL would ruin the sport. I personally dont mind the current state of nil its not my concern. There is also no way to regulate NIL either. You cant put a salary cap because the NCAA really cant do much about it either. You have different organizations involved and there is too many legalities to deal with. You got the nil collective which is different from the university, then you got the university themselves then you got the different conferences who all have different rules too then you got the ncaa which really doesn't do anything, they are just the figurehead.

Contracts are now essential for protecting both players and schools. Even a one-year contract can safeguard the player's interests, while also ensuring that the school retains its investment in the player. Similar to NFL contracts, which benefit both players and teams, a college contract could allow schools to buy out a player's agreement if a better offer arises. This structure mirrors the existing framework for college coaches and provides stability for all parties involved.

I could be wrong on this, but imo I think some teams saw how well he was playing and he probably already knows where he is transferring to next year. Signing a contract will be next in line to stop all this transferring. Bear Alexander has done the same thing now, well a day after the Michigan game. It's crazy.

[@tedbosquez19]

I don't hate the kid but I also don't think UNLV should pay him since he and his family were too moronic to get the commitments in writing. He should sue his representative team for professional malpractice.

[@johnathanwilliams1503]

I workk in a hospital. The stipulations of my employment were laid out in the hiring packet. I knew what my responsibilities were and what my compensation was going to be. Difference is I had to get my college education to get the credentials necessary to qualify for my position. I wasn't told by my employer, "we will pay you to get your education, and pay you to do a job on top of that." If kids want to be "paid" let them jump right from HS to the pros. College is where they take talent and mold football players. Its where kids go to become men. In the meantime they are gifted a free education, free room and board, food, etc. All they need to do is play ball. If they are good enough they will be considered for pro ball, but at minimum they will have a high priced education many can't afford, and a bright future in whatever career path they choose. The minute they are paid to play they are no longer amateurs, now in the adult world, and responsible for their own education, room and board, health insurance, etc etc. I know most may not agree with me, but I'm actually supportive of athletes getting paid, but I don't want to hear about them getting or expecting scholarships on top of getting paid by NIL deals. Nah. You take the cash, you pay your own way; or go to the pros as an 18 year old and get smashed. And if some schools can afford to pay for top talent and others can't, well, we already have the Yankees and Dodgers vs the Tampa and Royals. College ball will be condensed into the haves and have nots. We've already seen a bit of that with the SEC getting the lions share of recruits.

[@mikefalls2405]

The question then becomes, can a UNLV assistant coach, in his/her official capacity enter into a legally binding agreement on behalf of the school? We don't know, yet. Even if he thought boosters or the school were good for the money, that's a no-no, for precisely this reason.

[@BaketballKidMC]

[@DoctorGrove]

The NCAA deciding not to regulate NIL, but only punish behaviors it whimsically believed to be "bad" was always grounds for disaster. Then each State can make their own rules, with the NCAA deciding they don't like some of them. NIL is a ridiculous mess and this will get worse before it gets better.

[@danz1182]

Verbal contracts are binding Matt so long as they can be fully performed within 1 year (there are some other exceptions like a contract for the sale of land). There also in an equitable doctrine called estoppel that could come into play. If you make a promise and someone else changes their position in reliance on that promise you could be estopped from not following through on it.
