"NBA's G League Ignite Program to Cease Operations After Current Season"

The NBA has announced the shutdown of the G League Ignite team, which featured elite draft prospects, following the 2023-24 season. This decision comes as college athletes now have the opportunity to earn compensation through name, image, and likeness deals, impacting the appeal of G League participation. The Ignite team, initially attractive to draft prospects due to compensation, has produced top NBA players but has struggled this season. The rise of NIL in college athletics has led to the reassessment of the Ignite's role in developing young players, with the team's future uncertain as the NBA focuses on earlier player development.

"NCAA's New Proposal: A Starting Point for Compensating Student-Athletes"

NCAA president Charlie Baker has presented a proposal to allow highly resourced schools in Division I to pay athletes directly through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals and a trust fund, stating that it is just a starting point. The proposal also suggests that all Division I schools should bring NIL compensation in-house through group licensing deals and remove limits on educational benefits. Baker believes about 100 schools might consider opting into a new subdivision, targeting schools in the Power 5 conferences. The proposal aims to address conflicts caused by budget differences across divisions and give schools the freedom to spend more on their athletes.

"NCAA's Evolving Stance on Student-Athlete Compensation Sparks Controversy"

NCAA President Charlie Baker's proposal to allow highly resourced schools in Division I to pay athletes through a trust fund is just a starting point for discussion, according to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey. Baker's proposal also includes bringing name, image, and likeness compensation in-house through group licensing and removing limits on educational benefits for athletes. While some praise the proposal as "directionally correct," concerns remain about creating competitive advantages for wealthier schools. The NCAA is moving towards passing its own NIL rules in January but still seeks federal protection.

"NCAA's Radical Proposal: Allowing Schools to Directly Compensate Athletes in New Subdivision"

NCAA president Charlie Baker has proposed rule changes that would allow Division I schools to pay their athletes in ways not tied to educational resources. The changes would permit schools to enter into name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals directly with their athletes and create a trust fund for athletes at the richest tier of athletic departments. The new rules would also allow schools to create their own set of rules for recruiting, transfers, roster size, and other policies. The proposed changes aim to address gender equity and provide a model for potential federal laws governing college sports. NCAA schools would need to vote to adopt the changes.

"Chicago State Brothers Take Legal Action Against NCAA for Eligibility Denial"

Twin brothers Matt and Ryan Bewley, former five-star basketball prospects, have filed a federal lawsuit against the NCAA after being denied eligibility to play for Chicago State due to receiving money from their name, image, and likeness while competing for Overtime Elite Academy. The lawsuit accuses the NCAA of violating its own NIL policies and federal antitrust laws. The Bewleys are seeking a temporary restraining order and injunction to compete for Chicago State. The NCAA claims the Bewleys were paid a salary that exceeded allowable expenses, while the brothers argue they sold their NIL rights to Overtime Elite. A hearing has been scheduled for the injunction.

"Lane Kiffin's Explosive Rant: College Football's Troubling State and Controversial NIL Debate"

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin criticizes the current state of college football at SEC media days, calling it a "disaster" due to the combination of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights and the transfer portal. Kiffin argues that the ability to transfer immediately, along with NIL payments, has created a system of "legalized cheating" and "pay-for-play," resembling professional sports. He expresses concern about the lack of regulations and the constant roster turnover, suggesting that limitations should be put in place. Kiffin also discusses the challenges of balancing booster commitments and declines to comment on recent NCAA violations at Tennessee.

"Governor Hochul Signs Bill Limiting NCAA Authority and Banning Non-Competes in New York"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed a state law that prevents the NCAA from prohibiting New York schools from facilitating name, image, and likeness (NIL) arrangements for their athletes and from punishing them for rule violations related to NIL deals. Syracuse University played a significant role in pushing for the law, which joins similar bills passed in Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma, raising questions about the NCAA's ability to enforce its own rules. While it remains uncertain if the new law will fully protect schools from NCAA penalties, it does provide an additional layer of protection and could allow for more transparent conversations between coaches, athletes, and boosters regarding NIL deals.

Angel Reese's NCAA success brings in big bucks and fame.

NCAA basketball player Angel Reese, who won't be WNBA draft-eligible until next year, says she's in no rush to go pro as the money she's making through 17 name, image and likeness (NIL) sponsorship deals is more than some top WNBA players. Reese's deals net her an estimated $1.3 million per year, and she wants to spend her newly gained fortune on a Mercedes-Benz. While men still out-earn women on the professional court, female basketball players are starting to bridge the pay gap at the college level.

"SDSU Coach Brian Dutcher's Final Four Run Raises Questions About NIL Sustainability"

San Diego State's basketball program provides each scholarship player with $2,000 per month from the MESA Foundation in exchange for participating in community events and promoting them on social media. Miami, on the other hand, reportedly has a combined NIL deal worth $2.2 million. The question going forward is if either approach is sustainable. Can SDSU continue competing without Miami NIL? Can Miami keep providing Miami NIL?
