Re: Judge grants final approval to House vs. NCAA: What it means for Georgia athletics
@JayDog....I was just wondering the same thing. This issue is so subjective when it comes to "fair market value". That's a moving target, and I see legal challenges coming immediately if Deloitte or the Commission tries to stop a deal outside the school's money. We still have no guardrails or enforceable rules set up even after this settlement which will push us closer to athletes as employees at some point. Lots of legal challenges in the courts currently about antitrust that have yet to be resolved. All of which could change the landscape more. It's a mess. This whole thing is far from resolved.
And so much for trying to move teams closer to parity with the transfer portal. It will be difficult for many schools - including some of those in the SEC - to raise the funds every season and compete with the richer programs.

Re: Judge grants final approval to House vs. NCAA: What it means for Georgia athletics
Mike, do we have anything on the the rules to be used by the “third party clearinghouse”? I’m specifically interested to know if there will be rules to control “rookie” salaries and third party offers to recruits who have yet to play a down of college football. What defines, “legitimate exchange of business services” and who determines what is a “fair market value”? We’ve already seen an escalation in dollar amounts offered to recruits, reminding me of the problems the NFL had with rookies. Will that be put under control in this court ruling?

As Sankey said—"As the journey to modernize collegiate sports continues". If "modernization" means gutting all existing vestiges of ameteur college athletics, then let me have the old days. As I've said, I'm not against college athletes receiving a stipend while in school, but this Wild West Show will certainly get out of hand. Let's go ahead and declare the University of Texas the National Champion for the foreseeable future. Modern day Munson—"How many dollars you got Loran"?
