[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 941530, member: 2426"] I highlighted a portion of your post. The SAa are not officially employees of the athletic associations. If NCAA schools want to make them employees, then they can try non-compete clauses in their contracts. (However, the FTC is currently trying to ban non-compete clauses for employment contracts.) If an NIL collective wants to attempt to impose a non-compete with respect to the sports team, they can try but I seriously doubt it will hold up in court. Also, it would go directly against what NCAA rules there are about collectives. Imagine a student-athlete who took many AP classes in high school and started college as a sophomore. He wanted to become a lawyer. After his first law classes beginning in his second year of college, he changed his mind and wants to study pre-med. If he transferred from a school with a very highly rated pre-law program to a different school with a highly rated pre-med program, he was punished for making purely academic decisions. I remember one athlete who wanted to transfer because a parent was terminally ill, and the closest D1 school was slightly outside of the mileage limits that the NCAA imposed for such transfers. His decision to transfer was to spend more time with his parent before she died. The old NCAA rules meant that he had to decide between staying away from a dying parent or losing a year of athletic eligibility. Think about the previous transfer restrictions without fanboy type reactions. It didn't prevent the poaching and playing time transfers as it was intended. However, it prevented actual [B]student[/B]-athletes from making genuine personal and/or academic decisions without extra consequences. Those rules didn't solve the issues they were intended to solve, but they did cause issues for student-athletes who were trying to do the right things for their lives and for their families. [/QUOTE]
