Parents take heed, dont internalize your children’s athletic performance

Inevitable (and needed) course correction + a lot of guys are betting on themselves in a “weaker” 27’ draft

The full picture of how NIL reshaped the NBA Draft. Early-entry numbers climbed from 2016-2021, peaking at 363 when COVID forced seniors to declare to keep draft eligibility. Alston hit in June 2021, kickstarting the NIL era. Five years later: 71.

Media literacy is down the drain man we’re getting multiple think pieces on a fake tweet from a satire account…

I am rapidly coming to believe the European soccer transfer model should be adapted for NCAA D1 hoops. Mid- and low majors have to get some kind of compensation when they lose half of their teams to the portal in two weeks:

@anthonyraia_ A union is an employers worse nightmare and they know thats what comes with giving employee status lol

@MoorePaco And they won’t try collective barraging because then they lose all power

@anthonyraia_ Hence why the NCAA can no longer truly fight it legally and need executive action, because the courts have provided precedent at this point that a lot of what they were doing was anticompetitive.

@anthonyraia_ The players profiting are just taking advantage of an obviously flawed system that was flawed for a long time. Scales have been tipped and people just dont like the optics, but theres no valid/legal pathway to limit earnings without collectively bargaining.

If you are generating large amounts of revenue, you should be able to negotiate your free market value. Its not comparable to the vast majority of students on scholarship who will never play on a broadcast, sell a jersey or a ticket or bring in sponsorship opportunities.

While I agree the overall system could benefit from some guard rails, this is the mess the NCAA created. They could have avoided this long ago by making athletes employees, but they wanted to be greedy for as long as possible. Amateurism for the sake of amateurism is silly.
English
The conversation about limiting NIL earnings WITHOUT collective bargaining is simply uneducated. The only reason that professional sport leagues can do that is because the players, through a union, collectively agree to anticompetitive practices such as a salary cap and draft.
