Scholarship table
Let's remember the vast, vast majority of NCAA sports are huge costs to the schools. The schools do, and at great expense, provide the opportunity and venue for the athletes to perform. The issue seems to be that the NCAA is tasked with treating Duke basketball and South Dakota State swimming the same.

Yes, both Duke basketball players and South Dakota State swimmers should be allowed to earn money off their NIL. The free market will determine how much each gets. What's the problem?
Both players are well compensated; one will make money through NIL the other though not impossible highly unlikely. I am just wondering how this will affect schools like Marquette, where will they find the NIL money to compete with the P5 schools for the best players? Not sure this will end well for Marquette basketball. Hope I am wrong.
Marquette (or any school) will not pay NIL money.
Where you're going to see a lot of success is kids being able coach / personal train / mentor younger players. Parents will pay a premium for a D1 athlete working with their middle school & HS son or daughter. Imagine if you could have your freshman in HS work with Andrew Rowsey for $100 / hour each week?Also, good looking co-eds with nice sized IG followings.
I don't think schools will allow players to be personal trainers/coaches. That's not what NIL is for, unless you want a hologram Andrew Rowsey.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I honestly didnt know college gymnastics would garner so much in NIL. I always thought the college gymnast were the ones not good enough/too old to make the Olympics. Here's a couple articles I found interesting.https://www.athleticdirectoru.com/articles/how-much-is-nil-really-worth-to-student-athletes/https://www.ajc.com/sports/mike-check-blog/volleyball-player-proves-less-famous-athletes-can-cash-in-on-nil/KE47XPNO6JGGREDB32CURVGYMU/https://finance.yahoo.com/news/icon-source-shares-top-nil-130200068.htmlQuestion, can a school put in their scholarship offer a clause about getting a certain percentage of the individuals NIL?
Simone Biles has been the best gymnast in the world for quite some time, and she is 24.
I have been wrong before, and wrong often, but it would be fine to say Andrew Rowsey, MU athlete, landscaper, but I would think MU would be able to put limitations on what type of side hustle he would do (such working as a personal trainer), just for liability purposes in case he gets hurt.
Correct. She did not go to college. She was going to attend UCLA, but instead, she turned pro in 2015.
I hope I am wrong too, but I just think the risk of injury would be too great for football and basketball players especially. The instagram/youtube avenue seems to be where the big money would be. Here's what some NBA players make via instagram https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/these-nba-players-are-earning-big-bucks-on-instagram.html/
I would guess the decision would have been different if she was able to receive NIL money. Did Ledecky have to put her Olympic endorsements in a trust until she graduated college?Edited: I stopped being lazy and Googled. Looks like she passed up $5M per year in order to swim collegiately.
I don't think on their own time, after and before season schools can't interfere, if he gets hurt his scholarship doesn't get renewed. Remember scholarships are on school year basis, and I'm sure athletes can pay an insurance for that and for injuries to any people participating in trainings.
College basketball players take part in non-school-sanctioned pickup games all the time and are far more likely to get hurt in those than in giving shooting lessons to a 5th-grader.
How does NIL affect this?South Dakota State's swimming program won't be impacted one bit because some Duke basketball player gets $20K from Nike.
This would be the perfect use of an athlete's NIL - he or she would actually be able to use his or her talent within the scope of his or her "profession."It would be akin to an accomplished violinist in a school's music department being allowed to give violin lessons in the "offseason," or a math genius being allowed to tutor kids in math.
Although there are some ridiculous restrictions - most notably that the student athlete cannot use his/her name or likeness to promote the lessons - it's actually allowed under current rules.
