2025 draft prospect thread

You brought up coaches as though it was equal to the players switching teams annually. Signed contracts and non-compete clauses are not unusual things.

The game is changing because of future medical expenses and litigation regarding past trauma. The viewing audience would love to see people getting their heads knocked off.

Big money programs will have all the talent. When a player has been missed out of high school, they will transfer to a big money school. The games will be pointless except for ten teams annually.

No, the point is freedom to do so.

So, you agree, the game because of all of these changes is becoming a less watchable.

Four years is a long time, and guys will go where they get starts and exposure. Plenty will opt to mid-majors etc., we've seen a variation of this before.

Are coaches free to nullify their current contract and go to another team? I don’t think so (serious question)

I always found it less watchable.

They will go where they are paid the most.

College coaches (if there are no opt out provisions) can buy out of their contracts to work elsewhere, but they usually have to pay the school they're leaving. These buyouts are designed to provide financial security for both the coach and the school. So, it can be done!

So,let's clear up a few things about NIL deals/contracts and perhaps give you a bit of comfort about these young athletes moving around.

NIL deals can last for a variety of lengths depending on the specific agreement between the athlete and the company, with no set time limit; they can be short-term (a single event or season) or long-term (multiple years) depending on the terms of the contract.

Key points about NIL deal duration:

• No set timeframe:
  Unlike traditional athlete contracts, there is no mandated duration for NIL deals under current NCAA rules, allowing flexibility for both parties.
  
  
• Based on contract terms:
  The length of a NIL deal is determined by the specific agreement between the athlete and the company, which could be based on a specific campaign, a set period of time, or performance metrics.
  
  
• Renewal options:
  Many NIL deals may include renewal options, allowing for the continuation of the partnership if both parties are satisfied.
  
  
• State and school regulations:
  While there is no national standard, individual states and universities may have regulations regarding NIL deal disclosure and length.

(NIL) As of now, the NCAA has stated that the current rules are temporary until Congress has the opportunity to create national laws allowing for clearer regulations
