@DanWolken The value, like mid and minor bowl games, was to get more experience and extra practice for your players to get a jump start for next year but with roster turnover, hard to see much value anymore. Maybe even harmful, players have a more exclusive window to showcase for suitors

@WinterSportsLaw seems identical to when the concept of grant of rights came alone and required you to leave your tv rights ischool left, maybe 15 years ago. It was an attempt to be a super liquidated damage to try to scare schools from leaving. This is another novel concept to tie someone down
@EdLawDude Like the Grant or rights for media rights concept coming 15 years ago to try to create the ultimate liquidated damage result. Seems a similar to the attempt here
@EdLawDude Could ncaa get league governance with out some type of anti trust exemption? Clearly coaches abandon jobs all the time in college vs pro leagues that require their existing teams to grant permission. Absent a unified league, there is just litigation regarding liquidated damages
@WinterSportsLaw Clearly college coaches get out of their contracts and often have litigation or a reduced settlement. Does this not happen in pro leagues with players and pro coaches because of the combination of having an antitrust exemption and collective bargaining with the unions?
@heitner Only way it could work is if they are employees of the ncaa / football league, I think. Too many issues with public employees in many states & one of the big issues will be a salary cap / salary minimum and player portability. Also developing transfer fees for smaller schools.
@PeteFiutak With the transfer portal, wonder if it seen as a risk/ detriment to let your younger players showcase and get more offseason portal interest. Plus again with the higher transfer rate, the idea of seasoning your younger players is diminished, seasons seem more standalone, maybe ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@WinterSportsLaw The business that has the most direct relationship with college athletics and would be most advantageous to its business is tv networks. Seems like the network partners should have NIL deals with conf teams to get better talent and get higher ranked teams which helps tv ratings
@Aaron_Musfeldt@wilnerhotline I thought the same thing, just give a percent of the revenue distributed by the conference to the particular school. I guess the key is the extended grant of rights, most schools would not be worth as much in future revenue if they were not tethered to the bigger schools.
