Judging from the article, Purdue has no idea what to do, and will almost certainly be a net loser in the new environment. They are viewing the new situation through the old framework, talking in meaningless high-sounding generalities, having "real-time conversations" (whatever that means) and hoping that the NCAA does something. “NIL is not going away; that is going to be part of our landscape going forward and we’re perfectly OK with that,” Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski told the Journal & Courier. “We believe in it. We support it.“We want to craft a structure and a program at Purdue that provides a tremendous opportunity for our athletes but it’s keeping in the spirit of what it’s meant to be. It allows them an opportunity for whatever commercial value they can present to the marketplace and they need to be compensated for that and compensated fairly.”Bobinski said the athletic department isn’t in the “collective world yet, but there are real-time conversations happening by Purdue folks who are interested in exploring what that might look like.”“We want to make sure we do it the right way and in a way it feels great to the people who participate, but also provides legitimate and stable opportunities for our athletes,” he said.“We want to be as fair as we can and make sure we provide all of our guys to have opportunities to be able to profit off their name, image and likeness,” Brohm said. “But we don’t want to do anything crazy, and I know that’s going on right now.“There are some teams that are taking advantage of it and that’s just the way it is. I don’t think we’re going to get to that for sure because I do think it’s important to have team chemistry to make sure you’re doing things for the right reasons.”Blah, blah blah. Meanwhile they've already lost one key recruit and will most likely lose more, unless there is some other group in West Lafayette actually doing something effective. |

That Miami booster buying a recruit for $800K is everything wrong with NIL.
This is not a case of a player otherwise being exploited by the University piggy backing on the players NIL rights and that player not getting value the University would.
This is a case where the kid is worth something as a business expense, but in fact it is related to the value of his affiliation with the University, and the recruit is essentially ripping off the University for their branding value. A role reversal that may be poetic justice, but still, there is no earthly way that the kid is worth that much money as a business deal.
The excess of any actual value in the business deal is just the booster buying a player. The argument is that it's his money, but it upsets the entire sport and should it become the norm that rich boosters are the reason a program wins, that will ultimately hurt the game. Note that every professional sport has a salary cap. Two reasons to pinch player salaries of course. But also to maximize revenue for the leagues by insuring competition.
A booster who wants to spend $800K to make money is one thing, to spend $800K to make his University successful by contributing to the athletic fund is another, but buying a player just isn't the same thing.

You are also eventually going to have situations where "legit" business owners act as "bag men" for drug money. Not saying anything like that would ever happen in Miami.

Judging from the article, Purdue has no idea what to do, and will almost certainly be a net loser in the new environment......Meanwhile they've already lost one key recruit and will most likely lose more, unless there is some other group in West Lafayette actually doing something effective. On this I tend to agree. The problem is that Purdue not having a group in West Lafayette with the deep pockets of the Miami booster doesn't seem like what college sports is all about. Nothing to do with good coaching, good environment for players to get an education, nothing to do anything Purdue University can control.
Granting that the NCAA has dropped the ball for decades on allowing the Universities to exploit the student athletes to varying degree depending on the university revenues available, the answer to that problem is not to elevate boosters as owners of player contracts to have control over college sports. It converts college athletics into unregulated professional sports.
If you want to enjoy college sports as it has existed, if something doesn't change that's over. If you ever want to see a BSU team make another run in the NCAA tourney, I don't see a regime where alumni collectives or rich boosters play fantasy sports is the way it is done.

No doubt, when it is money talking and no effective legal regulation the door is open to that and other tie ins to corrupt and criminal business interests who can gain control of players and their families. But it's not just criminal corruption that is an issue.
If AAU basketball has issues now, imagine a mafiosa AAU with millions in revenue potentially available. Or. Even if you can control criminal involvement, it is not going to be the best interest of the players that control this new era.

Yep, in fact if I were coaching in a mob controlled shithole, like maybe Philadelphia, I might just determine it was an opportune time to retire. |

I still can’t get by the Purdue AD’s name of Bobinski….
But he is “crafting a structure”. Gotta like that approach.

So IU actually had a BB event this weekend.
That is small potatoes but a large fan base meant they could get a few thousand people out who would pay to fund NIL.
We perhaps should have an even like the "fan fest" to attract students and build interest but I can't imagine any signicant number being willing to pay. We can get a few hundred to a tip off dinner, or to CVC events.
