NIL changes coming

Starting a separate thread on this.

If the House settlement is approved following a court hearing on April 7, NIL as it exists today will change. Schools will be allowed to provide money directly to student-athletes through revenue sharing, with an annual cap of $20.5 million. Third parties who are “associated entities or individuals” (certain boosters and all collectives) will be allowed to provide NIL money to a student-athlete only for the actual business use of the student-athlete's name, image or likeness, and only at fair market value rates. Student-athletes will be required to disclose all NIL deals with third parties that are greater than $600. If the NIL deal is with a booster or collective, an entity will determine whether the amount paid exceeds fair market value. If it does, the NIL deal would be void, but could be renegotiated to a fair market value rate. A student-athlete would be able to appeal the decision through a neutral arbitration system.

This means that if the settlement is approved, big boosters and collectives would not be able to fund “pay-for-play” NIL deals, as they do now.

According to the Sports Illustrated article linked below, the Power 4 conferences have agreed to create a separate entity that would serve the following functions:

“First, it will oversee a cap management system, ensuring schools stay within the $20.5 million annual revenue-sharing limit. It will additionally establish an NIL clearinghouse, run by Deloitte, to assess the fair market value of NIL deals and prevent schools from using booster-backed collectives to bypass the cap. A new investigative and infractions unit will police violations, including tampering and salary cap circumvention. Penalties will include fines, revenue-share reductions, and suspensions for coaches and administrators. The power conferences believe this structure will prevent the chaos and unchecked spending wars that have defined the NIL era thus far.”

Basketball Huskers Advance to Crown Semifinals With 81-69 Win

Huskers Advance to Crown Semifinals With 81-69 Win
Huskers.com

Brice Williams’ 28-point night led three Huskers in double figures, as Nebraska advanced to the College Basketball Crown Semifinals with an 81-69 win over Georgetown Wednesday night.

Nebraska will face Boise State, a 100-93 winner over Butler, in Saturday’s first semifinal. Tipoff is set for 12:30 p.m. (Central) at T-Mobile Arena and it will be carried on FOX and the Husker Sports Network. Ticket info for Saturday’s game is available at collegebasketballcrown.com/schools/

Williams, who is averaging 29.0 ppg in the two games in Las Vegas, hit 8-of-14 shots from the field, including five 3-pointers to match a career high, as Nebraska improved to 19-17 on the season.

After Georgetown (18-16) whittled a 19-point Husker lead to 10 with just over five minutes remaining, Williams hit consecutive 3-pointers in a 31-second span to push the lead back to 76-62 with 4:18 remaining.

The Hoyas eventually whittled the lead to eight, at 77-69, with 2:43 left after a Austin Montgomery dunk but could get no closer as a basket from Andrew Morgan and two Williams’ free throws provided the final margin as Georgetown did not made a field goal in the final 2:30 of the contest.

Juwan Gary added his second double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds while Morgan provided a strong effort off the bench with 12 points and nine boards for the Huskers.

NU received contributions throughout its lineup as Nebraska’s bench enjoyed a 25-14 advantage with Connor Essegian (seven) and Ahron Ulis (six) giving NU’s bench a lift. Sophomore Cale Jacobson added seven points, six boards, four assists three steals and two blocks in his first career start, finishing a team-best +16 in a career-high 36 minutes.

Nebraska held Georgetown to 39 percent shooting and enjoyed a 40-31advantage on the glass against a short-handed Hoya lineup. The Huskers also converted 11 Hoya turnovers into 14 points.

Nebraska jumped out to an early 12-5 lead as Williams had six of his 10 first-half points in the first 3:12 of the contest. The Hoyas responded with an 8-2 run of their own to pull within 14-3 after a Jordan Burks 3-pointer at the 11:18 mark

Georgetown was within 16-15 before the Huskers ran off seven straight points in 1:36, building a 23-15 lead after Connor Essegian’s 3-pointer. Leading 23-18, two straight Essegian baskets started a 9-0 Husker run to stake Nebraska its largest lead of the half at 32-18 with 3:13 left and the Huskers took a 34-24 lead into the break,

Nebraska got the second half off to a quick start, as 3-pointers from Gary and Williams sparked an 11-2 start, as Williams scored five straight points to give NU its largest lead at 45-26 with 16:17 remaining.

The Hoyas would not go away behind the play of Malik Mack, who scored 23 of his team-high 25 points in the second half to keep Georgetown within striking distance. As a team, the Hoyas shot 50 percent from the field and 3-point line in the final 20 minutes in mounting a comeback.

Just Pulled The Trigger On Tickets For The First Time In A Decade

Haven't been since Miami came to town. I got soft, and at the at home viewing experience was too easy. But I'm forcing myself out to a game this year. Decided to do Oct 4 against Michigan State.

Not posting for high fives, just curious what the parking scene is like these days. I can pre-purchase a "parking pass" but I'm always so hesitant to do that shit off stubhub. I did that for a concert once and pre-paid $100 for a parking pass that was going for $20 the day of the event.
