The ballooning NIL seems unsustainable. Huge salaries of NBA players are repaid in owner revenues. A large portion of NIL comes from donors that receive nothing but some grovelling and good seats for the games. How long will the Gabe Cupps of the world command $1M?

The shiny new toy syndrome will eventually wear off with any team if the donors pump in  huge cash and end up with Mike Woodson type results for any length of time.

Not really sure that's right. 

Which part? The football part is - they can play any 4 games and still redshirt.

The NCAA doesn't have a great recent track record for winning lawsuits and part of the reason for that is how inconsistent they are in both their rules and enforcement. If they were to get sued in court by Goode, they'd almost certainly lose.

Definitely hard to be patient when we are all anxious for some information, but it will all come together in due time as shown in this tweet.

I just look at it like it gives me another month or so to enjoy IU basketball news.

I don't think Luke should win, tbh. He knew the rules.

Which NCAA rule gave Cam McCormick 9 years of eligibility? Nothing in their rule book that's for sure.

It was obvious that it was a brain fart.

I misstate things all the time.  Brain is thinking two sentences ahead and my verbal or written comments lag and everything gets mixed.

Your many postings are always appreciated.  And you cover lots of related and unrelated subjects.

    Thank you and others for posting with or without flubs.

That, plus, who in the heck looks for perfection on a sports blog or fan site?

Donations for NIL are often just rounding errors from investments for the ultra wealthy. It's all just bragging rights and power to them. The money is largely insignificant to large donors. The ultra-wealthy's piece of the pie is growing fairly quickly historically in this country, so I can see NIL increasing steadily correlated to the wealth gap just as easy as it contracting due to losses. This is play money.

Are the rules or the law what is important? I get where you're coming from, but the NCAA seems to have been acting illegally and largely unchallenged for a long, long time.

Just not my cupps of tea. He and his people pushed his own agenda. The only thing I ever heard was that he wasn't the greatest with other students. But nothing team-wise. 

So Cupps (no pun ;)   and Gallo was hated by the students??  And the students had to put up with Gallo for 5 years.

You should have just said in the first place that you just didn't want him to win. Your opinion, however, does not have an effect on the chances he would win a lawsuit against the NCAA. His chances of winning are very high, so high that the NCAA will probably grant him another year to avoid a lawsuit.

To this point, no one that fits Goode's profile -- playing ten games in the second half of a season -- has been granted a redshirt.  Saying his chances are 'very high' is a false narrative.  Marcus Domask had a stronger case that Goode did and hired lawyers as well.  Didn't get an extra year.

That wasn't my opinion though? I said I don't think he should/will. I want him to win. 

All year, even this week, lotssss of posts have stated he won't get an extra year... now all of a sudden it's morphed into he will, without a doubt, get an extra year or the NCAA will be sued. Not buying it.

Posters are complaining about the NCAA rules, and compliance.  Wondering about who is to blame for the NCAA decisions and compliance.  Is it true that we...the universities...are actually the decision makers?  If that really is the case, is it true that our universities are to blame?  (I have seen the enemy...they are us.)

From the browser and AI, I get this: 

The NCAA's highest governing body, the Board of Governors, primarily composed of university presidents and chancellors, makes key decisions, while the NCAA President, currently Charlie Baker, leads the national office and provides counsel to governance leaders. 

 

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the NCAA's decision-making structure:

• NCAA Board of Governors:

  This body, consisting of university presidents, chancellors, and independent members, provides strategic planning for the Association, adopts policies, resolves core issues, initiates and settles litigation, and provides final approval and oversight of the NCAA's budget. 

   
• NCAA President (Charlie Baker):

  The NCAA President leads the national office staff, provides counsel to key governance leaders within the NCAA membership, and serves as an ex officio member of the Board of Governors, with a vote only to break ties. 

   
• Divisions and Councils:

  The NCAA is structured into three divisions (I, II, and III), each with its own council and committees responsible for setting rules and operating guidelines. 

   
• Association-Wide Committees:

  These committees, comprising representatives from all three divisions, make recommendations that can impact the entire Association, such as those related to health and safety, fairness, and expanded opportunities for student-athletes. 

   
• National Office Staff:

  The NCAA's national office in Indianapolis provides support to the governance structure, acting as guides, liaisons, researchers, and managing public and media relations

Can we couple that with when DDV and WVU started having commits roll in?

You did not say "should/will." You literally said "I don't think Luke should win" which is an opinion. If you meant "will" you should have used that instead.

Did Domask actually sue? I really think the NCAA would lose if it went to court.

Edit: he also played 10 out of 26 games. I'm not sure how that is a stronger case. Luke is under the 30% threshold just at the wrong time of year. Domask was over that threshold. So they would be making different arguments.
