Will Nina King be the "Rich Duke Alum Director of Duke Athletics" one day?

NC State, which is already exploring selling the naming rights to its football stadium, will soon have a title for its athletic director position.
...
It costs $5 million with $3 million of the gift directed into an endowment to support the position and the remaining millions headed for an existing athletics enhancement fund.

Unlike naming rights for stadiums or arenas, which are often bought by corporations, Boo Corrigan's position at NC State won't have a corporate name. It'll likely be a family or an individual.

And how is that much different than the W.H. Gardner Jr. Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering?

 

[sagegrouse]

This also just shows it's at the whims of the current administration. What if the rules change every four years?? Mayhem....

A leap too far. Requiring universities, which under court order are adopting a pro model for college athletes, to then ignore estimated pro or market salaries and spread the money equally by gender is totally nuts.

Wasn’t NIL and House about athletes not being compensated for schools making $$ off those athletes? So how much $$ does the women’s swimming, track, field hockey, etc players bring into the school? Zero. In fact they lose $$ for the school. The entire Title IX legislation and scheme is not based in economic reality. Women athletes are going to be paid $11M/yr just because they’re women? NIL is most closely akin to commission paid salesmen-no sales, no pay; big sales, big pay.

The entire Title IX legislation and scheme is not based in economic reality.

It was never supposed to be based in economic reality. It originally was about educational opportunity, with a cultural hope that it would eventually lead to more economic and social equality. It was aspirational. Removing Title IX effectively says we don't care about that any more, or at least not more than we care about the immediate payoff.

Perhaps but not necessarily. One can make a pretty good case that its "aspirations" have been largely achieved leaving the law without a compelling purpose.

We could debate how good that case might actually be, but then we'd be violating the rules of the board, so I'll just leave it there.

How true-like almost all federal programs. On the other hand, NIL is about $$. They mix as well as oil and water.

It's just a massive coincidence then, to remove these "aspirational" laws and say "mission accomplished" at the same moma t that those "aspirations" are being assaulted on all sides, I suppose.

This is huge news that I don't think made it to the board. A new P4 conference enforcement agency is being setup - for the $20.5M salary cap, athlete tampering, fair market endorsement NIL deals, etc - designed to level the playing field for all P4 members. Designed to eliminate the pay-for-play booster deals. Notably, Deloitte has been hired to oversee the clearinghouse for all fair market endorsement deals.

They are creating a shadow NCAA!!! Lots of questions. The athletes don't like it and will be challenging it in court.

Will this give teams like UConn and St John's a huge advantage in basketball being outside of the P4? What about ND in football?

Could this be a good thing for Duke basketball? It seems like it could be since no team and no individual players in the country are more legitimately marketable than Duke (Rachel Baker's value becomes even greater).

Would be great if true. Of course, the trick is distinguishing true NIL from pay-to-play NIL.

If the athletes challenge it, I'm guessing they'll win, but it will take time. And I'm only guessing.

Having Deloitte decide whether an athlete can sign an NIL deal, without the athletes consenting to this governance, can't possibly be legal.

I agree with this. Who is to judge whether a $200,000 appearance fee or photo shoot is legitimate or not? And if they think it's excessive, who will enforce the penalty? There's a reason why the NCAA has not been able to manage this.

I do think policing the $20.5M revenue share and any tampering accusations is smart and doable.

But what they are trying to do in professional sports terms is impose a salary cap unilaterally without negotiating terms with a players union.

Illinois joins Alabama and Georgia in introducing legislation to make **athlete** only NIL money exempt from state income tax. I wonder if this will pass legal muster. The student that works in a cafeteria for $15/hours owes state taxes but the star QB earning $1M doesn't? Similarly, the social media influencer in fashion who is a student that gets an extra $30k/year from her sponsored posts owes state taxes but if she happened to be an athlete it's be tax free? That's what IL sponsor (a Republican) is proposing, not sure it'll pass in a blue state though.

Illinois latest state to move to exempt athletes' NIL money from taxes; do other students have a claim?

"As an example, a social media influencer at the University of Illinois would be under different tax rules than a strong safety. Similarly, a student who also collects a paycheck from the University, such as in the cafeteria or in the computer lab, would also not be tax-exempt. "

 

[Maged]

Frankly, I did not understand how tip income should be treated differently from W-2 income. It's a slippery slope from there.

I think it will "pass legal muster" rather easily. The chief constitutional encumbrance on state taxing powers is the commerce clause, not the equal protection clause. States are generally free to execute their own taxing policies based on their own understandings of fairness and economic interests. Whether this would be "fair" and therefore good tax policy is certainly debatable, however.

The chief *federal* encumbrance is the commerce clause. State constitutions often have equal-protection and like language that is even more extensive than the federal versions, however. Not that I expect, e.g., the Alabama Supreme Court to tell the U of Alabama they can't do this...
