NIL Keeps Creating Problems

That policy sucks
lol, keep arguing there is nothing wrong with college football, that NIL is not destroying the game.

And the fans said the forward pass was destroying the game. As long as there is a game on TV almost every night of the week in the fall, and fans keep coming to the stadiums NIL is not destroying the game.
That being said NIL needs some regulations similar to what professional sports deal with so there is some type of control. The biggest is players jumping all over the place through the portal which can be dealt with by the proper use of contracts. This year some schools stepped forward and pushed for the player to honor his contract, if this happens more often players may understand when they sign that NIL deal they can't just walk away with no penalty, which is what's happened in the past.
I don't think the money is the problem as much as the players ability to jump around multiple times chasing the money. The NFL handles this with free agency, college needs to find a way to do something similar.

Rewriting tax code to accommodate NIL for college football players is a bit over the top though.
True, but if the 18 Nebraska players win on their deal, in part because of the Nebraska law that protects players from outside interests, you'll see a lot of states trying to pass something similar.
I think in time the money end will settle down and be straightened out. There just needs to be a way to stop players from jumping all over the place to chase the money.

Not for Mississippi.
When in sports has money ever "settled down"? The NFL salary cap goes up every year that doesn't have covid. The MLB wage scale keeps going up. NIL will follow the same pattern. The money isn't going to stop going up....it never does.
Just saw the Michigan BB transfer had a $7-9 million offer from Kentucky. Only a matter of time until that is common and not the top.
Money going up will not settle down, but if college has some sort of salary cap like the NFL it would slow down the huge amounts offered to one player. Right now for a school it's all about how much money can you get your hands on. If and when I cap comes into play schools will have to start thinking about the best way to spend the funds they have available to them.
This will likely be litigated. It is one thing for states like Texas and Wyoming who do not have state income taxes. This is creating special tax treatment for certain individuals and will face serious judicial scrutiny if challenged...IMO!
I'm not sure it's NIL's fault/problem. It's the greedy win at all cost schools and alumni. This is just the latest avenue to exploit.
The SEC, it just demeans more
The SEC. It probably means more than it should.
