How much of his contract is guaranteed? Bc this could get extremely humorous.
Haven't looked at it yet.

Too busy kicking homeless people out of my way as I find the next place to drink a $9 beer in San Diego.

Walk over there to that homeless camp, pull your pants down, wipe your ass with a fresh $100 bill, put it back in your pocket, pull your pants up and stroll away whistling.
Be funnier to wipe my ass with it then throw it on the ground and watch them fight over it like a group of pigeons getting tossed a single cracker.

See, that would just be mean. Have some compassion, your heartless POS.

I assume teams in states with no income tax are already there. Tennessee, Florida, Texas,
Saban got Georgia to introduce this. Read an article on it the other day. I fucking hate it. Wanna make peoples taxes go away? Start with people who need it. This is just gross imo.

Texas is already a no income tax state though, right? So they already have this in place

I'm not a fan of making an exception for state income tax for NIL though.
Yes exactly. My point was just that they shouldn't be tax exempt from taxes that the average person pays. But yes Texas has other taxes in place so no "State income tax". We pay it though just in different ways.

They're gonna have to align the portal and NIL, and then put some barriers on both at some point, because the current model just isn't sustainable long term. The pendulum swung from the schools & coaches having all of the power, to now the players having it all. It's gotta swing back to center, where the players can make some money & have some options to transfer schools under certain conditions (their coach leaves, for example)...but they're bound to fulfill a commitment to whatever school they sign with.

3 things I'd implement immediately:
  • NIL individual cap
  • NIL overall team cap
  • 1 non-qualifying transfer for a collegiate career. More than that and they sit out a year AND are inelligible for NIL monies the season they sit.

0% chance any of that happens in the current climate. No legal standing for it.

There is only one resolution: make athletes employees and have a CBA. It's really not too big of a deal for the major CFB programs. But like every single decision that's been made around the top CFB teams it fucks pretty much everything else.

I don't know the legalities - I'm just approaching it from a common sense perspective.

Couldn't the Big 4 form some sort of coalition that has binding agreements?

They should all be smart enough to see where this is going.

Around 40 teams could which is where this is heading imo.
