It just suspends a rule that everyone was ignoring anyway.

Thanks for clarifying

I believe the only thing that would help schools out from players transferring out after a year is that in the contract they sign they would have to repay all of the money if they leave for another school. If they leave for the NBA it would be like any normal player forfeiting his eligibility.

[The Sultan]

How can anything be required to be repaid if it was by a third party for some service performed?

[rocket surgeon]

this is going to be the demise of "amateur" ncaa b-ball and probably football as well.  these guys are bouncing around like wack a moles.  how can one expect a coach to manage teams year to year under this type of duress?

some kind of contract NEEDS to be signed at least...a lot of time and energy goes into recruitment and retention of players as it is

this NIL thing seems to be making the rules as they go.  it has allowed what was once "under the table" negotiations to be continued in broad daylight

next up-salary caps and luxury taxes and hmmmm

Right. It was always going on, so why will this suddenly end college athletics?

The playing field won't be even!

You can do almost anything under a legally executed contract.

A separate but relevant question, would anyone sign that agreement?

[WhiteTrash]

Some people need to pump their brakes. This is a preliminary injunction from an Eastern District of Tennessee judge. This issue is on the 10 yard line with 90 yards to go before the issue is settled.

Agree.  Feels like this issue will ultimately end up in SC.

So I'm sure you're on board with players being able to unionize as an alternative, right?

[rocket surgeon]

  just saying...i feel sorry for the coaches who don't know what kind of team he's going to have from season to season.  unionize?  no, don't like that one either. 

all i'm saying is, if you're going to pay these guys, get em in a contract to provide some semblance of know ing who your core team is going to be

if they want to be paid, shouldn't the "school" have some say in the matter?  hell, do the players even have to go to "school" anymore?

Coaches get paid to manage their rosters.  If they can't handle it, pay someone that can.

You mean the same type of "contract" that allows a coach to jump from one school to another without any consequences?

[rocket surgeon]

  ya know, i didn't think of this one-thank you!  except, coaches are kinda professionals already, as opposed to "students", but i think ya got me there jabs

[MU82]

Yep. Also, major-college football and basketball hasn't been "amateur" for quite some time.

  just saying...i feel sorry for the coaches

Nope. Contracts and loyalty mean little to most of them.

[WhiteTrash]

You mean the same type of "contract" that allows a coach to jump from one school to another without any consequences?

I think you mean without significant consequences.

Millions of dollars change hands between schools every off season in buyouts.

Zero consequences for the coaches. They preach loyalty and accountability ... and then just bolt for bigger bucks.

Schools ain't paying buyouts
