This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Could you elaborate on your objections? by TripleDomer
It seems like the NCAA is agreeing to permit individual NIL licensing under three conditions: (1) no institutional involvement; (2) no use of institutional IP; and (3) market value-capped compensation (https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/committees/ncaa/wrkgrps/fslwg/Apr2020FSLWG_Report.pdf). That seems reasonable to me. Ian Book could be paid to appear in a Basney Honda or Gurley Leep Kia commercial, but he couldn't be paid more than a market rate and couldn't wear his jersey. Likewise, Prentiss Hubb could become an influencer on the social media platform du jour, but he wouldn't have access to ND-produced video.
It appears that the NCAA doesn't think a framework currently exists to permit group licensing (e.g., for use in video games). That isn't surprising to me either.
