President Trump will reportedly sign an executive order to limit NIL money for players
The “Name, Image and resemblance” revolution (null) has reshaped college athletics. Players have more agency than even to earn their market value, earn part of the money they generate for sports programs and ensure their future even in the event of a catastrophic injury, or a failure to be selected in a draft of the League.
This could potentially change in the near future, graceful of an executive decree filed by President Trump. Front Office Sports reported on Wednesday that Trump “actively works” on a zero prescription, which should either establish rules adapted to the NCAA to limit the potential for gaining players, or establish the least of a commission to investigate the compensation of athletes. The final objective in both cases would be to support the schools of the Conference of Power in their lobbying goals to limit high -level players to join smaller programs due to money.
In addition, the legislation would probably put a gain in the quantity of players that players can do via Nile, as well as the athletes of “unprime workers”, which the groups of players have put pressure in several states.
It comes after the decision to House vs ncaaA matter of 2020 settled last year for $ 2.75 billion which sought to increase the restrictions on the sharing of revenues of diffusion rights. The congress worked on its own bill to limit zero spending, the negotiations in progress on a ceiling proposed on the zero payments of the schools. We do not know what would be this amount, but it is admitted that it would be much less than what the programs are currently spending.
He comes in the wake of notable collegial sports figures like Nick Saban denounce the explosion of payments based on Nile and speak to the president of his concerns. It should be noted that, although Alabama (the old Saban team) remains a power in university football, their Nile Kitty is significantly lower than a wide range of schools, ranking 12th in future zero investments, behind Auburn, Lsu, Texas and Georgia – among others.
The impulse behind the legislation appears from the outside as bitter grapes. The traditional powers lose their recruitment advantage by not being able to follow zero spending, which reduces the quantity of recruits of four and five stars on the campus. This would fundamentally represent a change of power in football from the point of view of talents, the schools of ACC Virginia, Florida State, Clemson, Louisville and Northern Caroline with null commitments much more important than many electricity conference schools.
We do not know at that time what a Trump order would look like, although it is widely accepted that it would be fundamentally worse for players and better for institutions with regard to a share of income.
Nothing says “free market” just like a government intervention.
