still not sure how a dad being his sons boss falls under antitrust. i know in ferentz case, state law prohibits a employee boss relationship to exist and thats why brian reported to the AD officially. i mean maybe, in a very loose definition if iowa has a antitrust law, they could be sued for the hiring process. but that sounds iffy.....

Potential issues with the employee model

- Start date
It may prohibit true competition
im skeptical that would be a win in court as the whole coaches hiring process is subjective.
That is dependent on the AD. Barta allowed for Brian. We allowed SF leeway for his entire staff. New AD, that changed.
If there was corruption between AD and HC it would have to apply
It's not the antitrust stuff that's the big issue, how do you compensate employees across the board and force a school to hire people it's going to lose money on?
I'm not sure there's a fix here.
That's about what we have with NIL right now. But I don't see why a "search" firm couldn't be used.
There won't be an ncaa that governs football, imo. I think they break from that.
Thats why I think there'll be some kind of two tiered system. Amateur and professional. You can't share whats not there. Making money is paramount to NIL. If NIL is somehow tied to a university then the expectations of those profits the universities expect to receive returns.
If a player is their own entity separate from the university there is no leverage against, more a partnership for, and then comes the meddling from other schools and third party NIL deal makers and payers.
My take is fans don't want the player uni partnership to end obviously and to protect that above all else is again paramount, to use that against the potential corruption.
Moving to employees while maintaining that partnership while separating profitable professional from amateur non profit is no easy thing.
by giving them antitrust exemption......

I'm not following, how does that work?
Talk to Major League Baseball.
What is MLB's antitrust exemption? Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley using baseball's century-old golden goose as political cudgel
MLB’s exemption resulted from a 1922 Supreme Court ruling that stated that the business of baseball did not constitute “interstate commerce."

I provided a league that has an antitrust exemption…relax.
I'm asking what that has to do with cfb. I know league's have AT exemptions.
I don't know how that applies to cfb with employees and other non-revenue generating sports.
Bigger issue is for the athletes themselves.
Now with NIL each athlete has the right to individual negotiations for NIL.
As "employees" and the addition of potential "unions" each individual will have to conform to what the group gets negotiated for them.
With of course a 10% rake off for the "Big Guy" (Union).....
Finding out that they are "employees" is not good news for college athletes, now that NIL is so wide open and with the Transfer Portal in place.
Oh, by the way, can "employees" just "leave" their place of "employment", i.e. that is how does this effect the Transfer Portal use? Inquiring minds want to know.........

I'm not sure this is correct. Wouldn't they still be allowed to have their own NIL deals. Professional sports people negotiate their own. Not to mention there is no guarantee they will even belong to a Union. The Union would have to first organize or fall under the umbrella of another established Union but not all states require participation in that Union. They can opt out.
