Patrick Mahomes is EMPLOYED by the Kansas City Chiefs to play Quarterback, but when you see him in a State Farm Commercial, thats an NIL deal. The problem with college is that athletes DON’T sign contracts to play football, they sign NIL agreements with their schools to avoid triggering employment law. That distinction is why revenue sharing exists, buyouts are murky, and enforcement power is almost nonexistent. 🤷♂️

How does a $17.5 billion industry still have no rules? 🤯 Nearly all of the revenue in college athletics is driven by a small group of football programs, which is why league-style governance and collective bargaining will actually solve enforcement and cost control.

The problem with the transfer portal is that there is no firm, enforceable transfer rules. And every time the NCAA, a conference, or a school tries to enforce transfer rules or any other rules (ie. eligibility), it creates more legal exposure, not more order. That’s because real rules require congressional action (the creation of new laws) OR an employment model with collective bargaining (which works within the current law). College sports has neither right now. So what you’re seeing isn’t chaos. It’s a system operating without enforcement power.

The term “student-athlete” wasn’t created to celebrate education. It was created to save the NCAA from paying workers' comp to the family of a player who died on the field. Walter Byers, the man who built the NCAA, admitted it was a legal shield. I don't use the term. I call them COLLEGE ATHLETES. Because when you strip away the "hyphen," you finally see the truth: We are operating on a 70-year-old legal loophole that was never meant to protect the player. It was meant to protect the money. That’s why at Athletes.org, we’re moving past the myths.

2 years ago at SEC Media Days (the last time I was invited to be on Paul’s show), I was pleading for leaders to step up & create a fair legal model for college sports. 2 years later… we still need leaders to step up & create this model. There is indeed a cost of doing nothing!

The NCAA is bracing for “blind transfers,” where a player transfers without ever entering the portal. 🤯 👉 With the spring portal window gone, the NCAA expects more of these moves and is discussing major penalties for schools that take them, including a 6-game head coach suspension, fines tied to the football budget, and loss of roster spots. But how can these penalties be enforced when the current contracts do not employ players to be athletes? They are just NIL deals… 🤷♂️ Thats’s why at Athletes.org we’re building the first players association for college athletes, because the only way to fix this is to give the athletes the seat at the table that they deserve. 🤝
