Stands for Clempson Athlete Branding. They are building a 12,000 square foot building(under construction) just to house the NIL thingy right next to their football complex. It is being disguised to be used for education, counseling, marketing etc. for the NIL thingy. In reality this is where all athletes, not just fb will go each week to pick up their weekly cash payout. :shock:

Clemson is the first school to construct a building that is dedicated to development of NIL activity. It will not be the last. NIL is here to stay. Congrats to Clemson for doing what it can to make a chaotic situation into something that is more organized and that help the student-athlete. As always, Clemson’s leadership is the best in the business. The founder of Clemson was smart when he made sure the majority of the makeup of the Board of Trustees was not controlled by politicians in Columbia.

Agreed - and here is an article bragging about how CU will, via highly-structured organizations, enable CU supporters to utilize the NIL process to pool their cash and funnel it via NIL ‘opportunities’ to directly, and ‘legally,’ BUY (really only rent) the best Players for their Tigers.

Texas Longhorns, and others, are already way ahead of FUBeAR’s 2nd alma mater on this…which is why you see them using the ‘allow Clemson to be more competitive’ language in this article.

Yep - the ‘whose lunatic fans are willing to spend the most to rent the best humans to enable them to watch their preferred colors of laundry & logo win games’ arms race is on in full force.

Sustainable? We’ll see.

Either way, the Gods of Collegiate Athletics drive another nail into the Fandom Coffin of FUBeAR each time he reads another article like this.

High School players are getting paid too. This teenager is getting paid at least $100,000 to play high school basketball. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/30/maga ... l-nba.html
Yep…this budding athlete offspring of 2 former Texas A&M Aggie athletes decided to commit early to his parents’ rival as the 7 figure NIL opportunities offered by the LittlestLonghorns Foundation amounted to an offer he just couldn’t refu$e…

You’re running out of room for more nails in that thing.

Don’t forget about the high school qb that got 8 million to sign with UT. What happens when the labor board says you have to pay that women’s lacrosse player the same as your Qb? You know that’s coming. All it takes is one lawsuit.

The schools are not paying the athletes. If the women’s player wants to sue the companies paying the QB, go for it. Keep in mind though, there are many women athletes that have already signed huge NIL deals.

LOL - many of these NIL ‘deals’ are equivalent, or at least similar, to “structured transactions” (Think Marty & Wendy Byrd of Ozark fame https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/s ... action.asp). These schools aren’t the ones writing the checks DIRECTLY to the Student Athletes/Employees, but they are receiving the real benefit of the transaction and will be found to have compensated other ‘involved parties’ for playing their various roles along the money trail.

This will all end up in the courts and Title IX violations, among other various & sundry malfeasances, will be upheld. It’s just a matter of time until the Lawyers figure out the landscape and map out their courses of actions.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
