More potential NCAA changes

Obviously $1M per year isn't realistic for any college soccer player, although the #2 NIL college athlete is a gymnast. My point is that the decision criteria may go from ability + grades to ability + grades + marketability.

Any discussion around money and college sports is pretty much just for men's football and basketball. Anybody else that makes NIL money in college or youth sports is just a one-off rare exception.
 
Texas AM paid a Female Softball player $1 million to transfer from Stanford.

The money is there for the top players know the sport.

These are valuations based on social media followers. Are any of them getting any NIL money?
 
9000 players in womens college soccer. 1-2% will get paid substantial money beyond a full ride. My daughter gets about $50 a month NIL money. Dad here gives her more than that. :) There will be new contract used between schools and players that replaces current NLI's. Kids will still get signing days, contracts will still be binding for the year. Heck, courts consider signed napkins by both parties as binding. It will just look different. Soccer parents need to realize the big money is going to male football and basketball players. I'm thinking they will try to separate NIL money from any reference to NCAA since Title IX could come into play requiring women get the same money as men.

I'm just happy to see my daughter play every week in college while getting money for school. Doesn't get much better than that.
 
Looks like I'm not the only one that has identified that now that NCAA is a form of professional league that transfer fees can now be applied.

Private Equity is looking invest and is in talks with colleges reguarding sports ownership.

Lasry remains bullish on investing in college sports, even as others are eyeing the sector.

“It's the next frontier. You need to have somebody who's going to go first. And what I mean is a school, not a fund,” he said.

And he doesn’t think it’ll take too long before a school does move on one of these deals.

“It'll happen by the end of next year,” Lasry said. “You'll have had a number of them. ... We're working on a few.”
 
Additional NCAA house details have been defined...


KEY TAKEAWAYS​

  • Under the proposed settlement, each Division I institution does not have to agree to the terms—schools can simply opt out and not take part. Each school is able to decide whether and how much of any benefit it provides to its student-athletes, up to the “Pool” limitations.
  • Each D1 conference can set rules or guidelines for its members on the provisions of the benefits to student-athletes, provided those are done independently and not in agreement with another conference.
  • Once a school pays one student-athlete, they are subject to the settlement terms.
  • Institutions can not opt into the settlement on a team-by-team basis. This means that if a school opts into the agreement, the terms apply to all athletics programs at the school.
  • All student-athletes, even those at schools that opt out of the revenue-sharing agreement, will need to report their name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that are $600 or more, either to their school or the designated reporting entity.
  • All D1 scholarships will be equivalency awards and schools can provide any portion of a scholarship to student-athletes (full scholarships not required in any sport).
  • The D1 Council will adopt legislation that establishes roster limits for each sport consistent with those reported to the Court as part of the settlement
 
My player is in the postseason, finishing up his college career as a four-year starter. He has received several player awards and will receive more, but one big change is the new 28-player roster cap.

Some players will have had offers rescinded, rosters will cut players, and many will end up in the portal. Big colleges will be even more selective, looking for more proven players or transfers.

Going down from 32-33 or more to 28 is going to be interesting so good luck to your players and enjoy the games. Will be hitting the road for the postseason at some point so I can enjoy the rest of it and will be interested to see if my player get drafted.

Congrats! It goes fast, that's for certain. Good luck in playoffs!
 
JUCU (Junior College) no longer counts against NCAA Eligibility.


How long do you think it will be before. NCAA coaches partner with JUCOs for developing promising players? Basically a pool of players they can pull from that are older, faster, better than anything coming out of High School and with 2 years of college credits under their belt so they can take minimal classes.

Any impact D2/D3 regarding talent and scholarships etc - are those schools gonna look to D1 talent pool with offerings?

Not sure what you mean D2/D3 all levels look at all players in the portal for potential players.

The Juco ruling basically means there's another entire funnel for coaches to look at when trying to identify players. What makes Juco interesting is its a cheap easy way to get credits. For 4 year colleges juco players could take 6 credits a semester (at the 4 year university) and be able to play sports the rest of the time. This is because Juco no longer counts against NCAA 4 years of eligibility

Current options.
1. High School / Club Soccer
2. International Players
3. Transfer Players
4. JUCO Players
5. Semi Pro players

All the above on top of shrinking rosters.

I suspect that ruling will be challenged, so we will see what the real outcome will be. But using JUCO for a farm club makes some sense given the new reduced NCAA roster sizes which effectively eliminates walk-ons. I can't speak for soccer recruiting, but on the football side everything is up in the air except for the very cream of the crop players. No one really knows how the roster limits are going to sort out.

The issue is JUCOs are governed by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) not NCAA.

In the modern world NCAA cant hinder the ability for a student athlete to receive NIL. Because NJCAA is different than NCAA why should NCAA count years played in NJCAA against NCAA eligability? It doesn't work this way with other non professional leagues.

To make it work NCAA would need to absorb NJCAA so everything is NCAA. However, at the current time this isn't how things are setup. Also NJCAA is unlikely to merge with NCAA and give up the golden goose that just landed in their lap.

This is going to make jucos very interesting to players. They're "cheap", ok facilities, and can provide 2 years of college level experience for players before playing NCAA for 4-5 years.

If you can get a 4 scholarship that's a free undergrad and grad degree.
