NCAA Is Going To Make NIL Into An Even Bigger Mess | Why Jim Phillips Has No Choice But To FIGHT

Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Court filings for the monumental House vs. NCAA antitrust settlement reveal some potentially troubling provisions. As sports attorney Darren Heitner noted, the settlement “allows the NCAA to subjectively decide if an NIL payment is for a valid business purpose and if it constitutes fair market value.” The NCAA will also have the power to determine which donors constitute as a booster and which don’t. If provisions like these are ratified with the settlement, it could open up new cans of worms when it comes to the chaotic NIL landscape.

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break down these details of the settlement and note that it could take up to several more months before the settlement is fully approved. The NCAA listed a handful of unresolved issues on their website. The guys discuss a mailbag from The Athletic where Stewart Mandel explains why ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips has no choice but to “fight” for as long as it takes in court against Florida State and Clemson. But did the commissioner exaggerate when he said you won’t find a more exciting collection of teams than in the ACC?
