Bitching About NIL

[lawdog77]

As stated above, those types of ppl already existed. However now that's a it's legal, you have those types and the new over the table type.

Never said anything to the contrary. My point is that it is still slimy. There are still schools and their boosters breaking the rules

Sure, but that happened both before and after NIL. It is just more visible today and its better for the athletes today than it was previously.

Mmmmm casual racism.  Pretty gross, man.

Your call on that, of course, but I disagree. I was simply trying to convey that stereotyping is wrong, er, 'gross'.

Not disagreeing, just disagreeing with panda who said it was no longer slimy.

It's all above board which makes it less slimy/illegal. Wisconsin wasn't paying players before NIL and now they're offering big money all within the rules of the game. IMO that changes the landscape of college sports when big schools who weren't playing the AAU shoe sponsor game now can spend their big donor money on players.

Wisconsin had a lot of other benefits for their student athletes.  The former basketball coach was very loose with his university spending budget when it came to taking care of players.

Every NIL is an "inducement" if it is part of the decision making process of the SA.

Not only that, NIL is a pay for play arrangement. Players are receiving NIL money in exchange for zero endorsements, participation in advertising or other goods and services. Play for school/team X you get a check every month.

How do you know?

Not anymore than any other big time school.

[panda]

First hand information. Plus the diamond stone recruitment laid out what I said very plainly.

Correct.  Even the clean schools were doing things that weren't "legal"

First-hand information on Wisconsin NEVER cheating? OK.

[The Sultan]

Wisconsin had boosters giving players money. I know that as an absolute fact. I have no idea if their athletic department knew the particulars, but they definitely knew it was happening. One of their highest profile (now deceased) boosters was notorious for it.

It's only coming from an assistant men's basketball coach complaining about how he couldn't go after several targets because they had their hand out for the highest bidder. Probably should've fact checked and cross referenced before posting it here.

Still an inaccurate statement.

Sorry you continue to be blind to the truth right in front of you, but you're just wrong here.

Football players have been priority one during the Alvarez years

Yep.

[wadesworld]

Ah yes.  UW athletic coaches upset that they can't get recruits because they don't cheat and pay players, or they can't get in academically.  A tale as old as time.

The dude believes that Homer is intentionally stepping away from Marquette basketball stuff because he asked Homer in a bar once. Let's just say he's a little gullible.

1. He knows nothing about what's going on in other programs, specifically football.

2. He did not necessarily know what Bo and/or other assistants were doing.

3. There's little reason anybody here has to believe this anecdote of yours anyway.

As always you're technically correct. I forgot about the cheating scandal that happened such a long time ago, the newspaper article is xerox'ed onto the internet lol
