the feds and college football - 82lsju - 05-08-2025

Quote:Former Alabama coach Nick Saban is expected to co-chair President Donald Trump's commission into college athletics, a source confirmed to CBS Sport's Richard Johnson. The news comes after Trump met with Saban to discuss potential name, image and likeness reform. Additionally, Texas businessman Cody Campbell, founder of Texas Tech's Matador Club NIL collective and chairman of the Texas Tech board of regents, will serve as co-chair alongside Saban.

I may be one of those feds if it's short for "Fed Up" to the way college football is evolving with roster turnstiles every year.

what I find amusing in the pairing is that Saban appears to be "go back to the old ways, NIL and transfers are bad" where Campbell has fully embraced NIL

Campbell paying Stanford's former pitcher a Million a year of course he does.

Campbell also paid David Bailey recently too iirc.

University of Kentucky turned it's athletic department into an LLC. They don't have to bother with collective NIL, instead cash from donors goes to LLC and straight into the athletes pockets. 

Also with the LLC being a separate entity from the university the athletes may not have to bother with classes. I don't think this will hold up with NCAA.
