Nothing in particular stands out but I can see something happening.What in the rule could be misconstrued?

It's easy to imagine violations relating to an appearance that the athlete and his/her school are both endorsing product x. It could be as simple as an athlete wearing school colors in an endorsement. I don't know where the line will be, only that it'll likely be crossed at some point. But I don't think the response to those instances will be to find the athlete ineligible, it'll be removing the endorsement.What in the rule could be misconstrued?
I know many do not like FRL but they had a compliance officer from Okie St. on yesterday and it was a good segment on how they are handling it and then also check out Baschamania's recent episode with Tony Ramos as he posed a lot of good info and questions that their staff at UNC still has.It's easy to imagine violations relating to an appearance that the athlete and his/her school are both endorsing product x.

That's basically the point -- it would have to violate some other existing NCAA rule that was outside the Supreme Court ruling.It's easy to imagine violations relating to an appearance that the athlete and his/her school are both endorsing product x.

Deakin has another year of eligibility remaining---are we sure he is shopping for RTC?The bald brothers said that Deakin has been shopping around at RTCs and he's currently at PSU.
He hasn't declared his intentions to return to NW, to transfer or to be done college wrestling either way. The "right" answer to give right now is he is either going back to NW or done with college wrestling and looking for RTCs. I have heard nothing about him actually considering transferring to PSU. We know he's at State College right now but he has also been at Nebraska and Princeton ... obviously just getting a feel for the programs. He can't transfer to Princeton and wrestle for them obviously.Deakin has another year of eligibility remaining---are we sure he is shopping for RTC?
So you think once the school approves a particular deal, all questions about its interpretation are answered? I'm sometimes called on to defend or exploit an ambiguity in a 100+ page contract in areas of business that are far more settled than here, where there's going to be media deals with actors who are heavily regulated by multiple non-party entities (school, NCAA, both operating in this context pursuant to state and federal law), institutions who would prefer to not have to police this new environment; simply hiring compliance people doesn't immediately solve everything either b/c this will all be new to them too.That's basically the point -- it would have to violate some other existing NCAA rule that was outside the Supreme Court ruling.
Which is why school compliance offices will vet the deals.
Sheesh, it sounds like schools are going to need more Assistant ADs…. 🤔One reason the NCAA was so strict about its guidelines is because enforcement is easier when the answer is always 'no,' but now the answer is 'sometimes.' There's going to be a lot of play in the joints, inconsistencies, hypocrisies, cries of foul, and different schools will interpret the rules differently, because no one quite knows what this will look like, and some athletes will either be careless about adhering to the terms, or interpret the terms differently than the school. The ambiguities won't involve a 30-second car dealership ad, it'll involve their social media accounts.

I'll say this as speculation and I apologize if it gives people false hopes. Bottom line, Deakin obviously isn't dumb. He knows PSU has a need at either 157 or 165 and he knows certain things will be said to him obviously if he does trek to State College and here he is. I have no doubts he's at least thought about it if he's still here.
Hardly. But I do think that, with 460k student athletes, the NCAA will pursue eligibility only in the most blatant cases. The NCAA's typical pettiness would be begging for lawsuits that they would lose.So you think once the school approves a particular deal, all questions about its interpretation are answered?

I agree with everything except I don't understand how the NCAA can delegate anything to the states, other than the states will pass the laws permitting it. But the types of violations that will arise are way too small-time for states to be policing, so it's still going to be on the NCAA and schools to enforce.Hardly.

They also need to tread lightly in regulating such activity, to not get sued for violating the Supreme Court ruling.
Most likely the NCAA will delegate a lot of this to the states.

Reading between the lines, does this mean he’s planning to use his eligibility?
It sounds like he's considering it. It might be easier to build his brand first as a college athlete than a RTC athlete.Why should he
His tweet implies he is planning to wrestle in college next year. He wouldn't have to worry about the NIL at all if he was done.It sounds like he's considering it. It might be easier to build his brand first as a college athlete than a RTC athlete.
LOL Maryland. Because so many other schools to root for in that state.

I'll have to look up the Schalles Award, is that for the best 2nd place wrestler? 😉
