Happy NIL day!
Today is a day that had long been expected, thanks to laws and executive orders being signed in several states. It’s also a day the NCAA has long fought, kicked, screamed, and begged to not happen in order to preserve some sense of “amateur” athletics.
Last week, word came down from the Supreme Court that the NCAA couldn’t cap what schools could spend on athletes for education supplies, and in the decision it was...strongly hinted...that if further cases about NCAA practices came before the court, the organization would have a tough time winning.
