More lawsuits to come.
Replying to @samcehrlich
She finds that the revenue sharing cap is a reasonable compromise... and regardless she says that class members will still be able to sue for claims arising out of the Pool cap... which is an interesting interpretation of the release clauses. Very interesting.

And there it is.
ITS APPROVED! Judge Wilken has approved the House.v. #NCAA settlement!

Some thoughts on the Dept of Ed decision: (1) I think it's possible new admin reverses course almost immediately; (2) schools will consider employment of athletes, which is not subject to the same "financial assistance" proportionality requirements; or (3) football and men's basketball will get spun off from college sports/university control
Significant news out today from the US Dept. of Ed, which classifies future revenue distributions from a school to an athlete for his/her NIL rights as “financial assistance,” which “must be made proportionately available to male and female athletes” or risk violating Title IX.

Tyree Wallace has been an amazing client, change-maker, and friend. Today he shares his story with ⁦@jaketapper⁩ on CNN after 26 years of wrongful incarceration and shares the amazing things he has planned for the next chapter!

More on how the NCAA perceives the schools functioning that opt-in and opt-out of the House settlement
The NCAA today sent to members a second Q&A related to the House settlement. The 8-page document is intended to be a starting document. More information will be made available at a later date.

A lot of comments about how no one would play. Simple fix: incentivize them. Get sponsors to put up $50M in prize money that is 50/50 rev share/NIL between school and athletes, that was say $2M for each school for participating, then stair-step up for each win. Eyes would watch
CFP NIT, who says no? 👀

I've seen all the complaints about Oregon's path vs Penn State's path. The flaw is in giving byes to conference winners. The fix is this: Give the 5 AQs, but seed them 1-12. Then Boise, SMU, ASU, and Clem would be seeds 9-12 in that order and would be the 4 road teams in the first round. Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Penn State would be your four byes. Clem @ ND to play Penn St ASU @ Ohio St to play Texas SMU @ Tenn to play Georgia Boise @ Indiana to play Oregon Solves all the gripes of the path to the title for Oregon, who put together the best regular season by far.

A group of senators and the National College Players Association ("NCPA") have issued a joint letter speaking out against the terms of the House settlement which limit booster/collective compensation to athletes. #NIL #CollegeSports #CollegeAthletics
Four state senators are penning letters to their schools reminding them that they would be breaking state law if they comply with a portion of the NCAA’s House settlement that limits booster pay. The settlement’s booster provision is in opposition to laws in 17 states, per NCPA.

The IRS called out #NIL collectives in its FY2025 priorities, although what “smarter enforcement” for non profit collectives means remains to be seen.
The IRS issued its tax exempt program letter outlining priorities for FY25. It specifically mentions smarter enforcement on tax exempt NIL collectives. irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5313.pd…

“I know you’ve been waiting for me to say something crazy, but that wasn’t quite crazy.” Here’s Curt Cignetti at Media Days in July talking about how his team was picked 17th in the conference. There’s calling your shot. Then there’s this self fulfilling prophecy. #iufb

The importance of contracts cannot possibly be overstated when 18-22 year olds are making life-changing decision based on promises. Education and representation need to be a priority here.
Former UNLV QB Matthew Sluka’s NIL representation, Marcus Cromartie of Equity Sports, told ESPN that Sluka was verbally promised a minimum of $100,000 from a UNLV assistant coach for transferring there. None of that money was paid, per Cormartie.

Will we see the first major NIL breach of contract litigation?
UNLV QB Matthew Sluka announces he will not play the rest of the season because of unfulfilled “commitments.” The Rebels are currently 3-0 and in contention for the G5 playoff spot.

Georgia giving its universities a head start on entering NIL deals with athletes while the House settlement remains pending.
The governor of Georgia has signed an executive order prohibiting the NCAA or any conference or organization from enforcing NIL rules or taking “adverse action” against Georgia schools for facilitating or offering NIL compensation to athletes. gov.georgia.gov/executive-ac…
