Bye Bye, NLI

will be replaced with something much more in the neighborhood of a contract, given the latest ruling against the NCAA and a sort of "payroll" coming to college football

NCAA eliminating National Letter of Intent

Historic changes are coming to college sports. The NCAA Division I Council approved to eliminate the National Letter of Intent program.

Jay Moore and Jeremiah Sirles who is an agent now I guess were talking about this on Big Red Wrap Up last night. It all sounds confusing as hell right now. Public vs private schools. Employee, employer. Benefits? Firing players aka employees. Schools are going to get their 22 million to use to pay players. Revenue sharing. Contracts. Who gets what? Football, etc. QBs get X amount. O lineman, etc. It needs some kind of oversight and regulation. Like the NFL. They all agreed 1890 and Nebraska are all staying ahead of the game and are in good shape for the future.

Don't know how this will play out, but I HATE the current system of NIL and portal transfers.

NIL different then NLI. NLI (national letter of intent) is worthless in today's age of college free agency. NIL will be the bane of college sports until they actually begin to regulate it. It starts with a "salary cap" per university or program.

Not the same thing (NCAA vs NJCAA), but one of my son's juco teammates got suspended for 6 games because he was dumb and signed two NLI's. Literally just a stupid mistake by a kid. Initially he was suspended for an entire season and I was like, in today's environment they're gonna punish a kid for this nonsense? I just want the system to make sense, but I'm afraid that's not possible anymore.

Concur. It cannot get worse than status quo.

Current system is like someone went to the drawing board, dissected several different systems, took the very worst components of each of those systems, and stitched them all together.

To be fair, schools and the entire NCAA are playing catchup to all of this after the lawsuits over the past few years. Once there was a ruling and money awarded it paves the way for an organized system eventually.

Good, that means we can cut players that are dead weight
We should do that anyway, with them getting paid and all. But NLI was basically dead anyway with the new rules. Now, they can eliminate any sort of illusion that these are 4 or 5 year commitments

Ture

The problem is NIL was created for the superstar type situations where universities are reaping huge rewards off of a player. Think Caitlin Clark. NIL was not supposed to be a recruiting tool before kids even step on campus.
