Afternoon, so we'll just look kind of look at the same optics or the same prism up up in the collegiate side These are my disclosures Name image and likeness. This is a new concept. That's sort of taken over Collegiate athletes, you know the idea of amateurism started with instable a 1905 where athletes were felt just to be athletes And can only receive scholarships and aid but could not be could not be paid for their their image started to change in 2015 Ed O'Bannon from UCLA basically sued saying that they were still benefiting from their name image and likeness even after Graduation and they had some lower courts that believed them agreed with them That's that's why the EA Sports Games went away Didn't was not heard by the Supreme Court and that left open a lot of doors for future cases Which is the 121 that came out the Alston case Which effectively went to the Supreme Court and stated that the NCAA was violating antitrust laws and effectively turned over NIL decisions to the states That can only be really changed by a federal regulation. You can imagine in today's political climate that's not real high on the list of to-dos, although they did have a hearing yesterday where you could tell the Legislators really had no idea what was going on with their questions But but that would be the one thing that would change this would be a federal law and maybe in the future Certainly, there's a lot of push from the colleges to try to make that happen But I don't see that happening anytime soon So because of that different states started passing their own laws And and really some law some states were more restrictive, California, Florida was the first California was the first to mention it Florida was actually very restrictive and they since changed it to make it less Restrictive to open things up because they felt like it was giving them a recruiting disadvantage. I Found this timeline which is interesting. You see the kind of evolution over the last 120 years So 1905 incidentally was formed 87 SMU received the death penalty for effectively paying athletes to go there This was the days the Pony Express with Eric Dickerson September 2010 Reggie Bush had a return as Heisman USC had a turn had a forfeit a number of games because of him being paid for his name image and likeness 2014 the O'Bannon lawsuit 2019 California was the first to propose a state law allowing athletes to be able to be To get paid for the name image and likeness 21 incidentally versus Alston July of 21 number of states started coming into effect and really kind of ramped up the the changes in the environment February 22 these collectives started to be come together collectives are effectively groups of fans that put money together to To give athletes to you know for representing the University, I guess the best way to describe it The problem is how do you differentiate these collectives from boosters? Because there that's a very strict rule that boosters can't be involved in recruiting And so they're trying to figure out how that is now March of 22 five-star athletes signed to eight million dollar NIL deal to go play for Tennessee April of 22 Isaiah Wong publicly said he was going to transfer if he did not get more NIL money Just became the ACC player of the year and took the team to the final four So this will definitely change the landscape moving forward May of 22 They finally got together to meet and say we need to mean to kind of figure this out because right now it's a wild wild West and so that's where we are. So how does that affect? Physicians, well kind of you know by definition NIL Can't be pay-for-play Although obviously that's not being enforced or really that you know No one's really looking into that right now and you can't have booster involvement. How does that affect collectives? But the bigger thing is you got to be careful with what you're involved with staff can can help with connections But they can't be directly involved an NCAA violation If you're a staff member and you're directly intimately involved with NIL deal We had our quarterback at an NIL deal this season from Arthrex UF got so worried about my involvement. They took my name out of it So he had a pretty good combine But all my name was taken out of everything because UF was worried about what was gonna happen if they looked like they were promoting Coming to UF, you know that you can be involved with NIL deals Also, you can't be involved in athlete endorsements if you operate on somebody and you want them to do an endorsement for you That's a violation if you're a member of the the team so to speak But I've heard stories of competing groups in town who are not involved with the teams using the athletes to do endorsements So it's kind of a double-edged sword here that others are benefiting but those who work with the team cannot so you got to be careful because the last thing you want to do is get slapped with a penalty by the NCAA It also brings in agents. That's a new world in college football I've dealt with this for years with college baseball, but college football did not have agents now there are agents They get a member. This is a different environment. There's no collective bargaining agreement. There's no long-term contracts It's effectively a one-year deals that are renewed every year And so if you bring in outside influence outside pressures, how does the coaching staff handle that? How do they handle the frustrations if things aren't being followed do they drop the scholarship? It becomes very complicated when you get outside influence in addition medical care. This is not a work comp injury. There's no, you know, there's no Work comp group system all those kind of things anything outside of the primary Physicians, you know, you got you now you're out of network who's handling costs who's handling rehab becomes very very challenging You know UF we have negotiated fees and make to make it more affordable All that goes away if you go outside of the university, so that becomes a much more difficult problem Next issue is a transfer portal. This has also picked up steam in the last couple years This is one of our athletes last year. I had a very complicated chronic bony bank art that I repaired Did an osteotomy repaired him the next day in the transfer portal. I had no idea was coming I never heard from the team that he went to no one asked me for rehab plan I had no idea about his return to play, you know kind of just lost contact, you know And this is a guy that potentially two years down the road I'm gonna be seen at the combine when I when I help out and my name's on it But I have had no interaction with him since he left fortunately did well this season so that worked out Okay, but that's the problem with this thing is there's there's who covers the cost when they leave or when they come in There's there's no set rules all those things who handles the communications Just becomes very very difficult when they're moving in and out just last week I had a guy on the surgery on Friday morning Thursday night He tweeted out that he was leaving to go in the transfer portal like what am I still doing the surgery tomorrow? I have no idea. So it becomes very very difficult when things are people moving around all over the place Conference expansion This may not seem like a big deal because you guys are used to flying all over the country on the professional level But I can tell you that getting from Gainesville, Florida to Pullman, Washington is not an easy trip And so when you expand these conferences the small college towns are the physicians need to go for three four days now for a game You know, it's not easy to get to these places to get back you know, so How do we handle the coverage in that situation? You know now UCLA and Maryland gonna be in the same conference next season or two seasons from now You know that that makes things very difficult for those of you for those who were in practice and trying to manage deal with all that so there's a lot of fallout from that that haven't been really looked into and Then lastly head coaches. It's a different world that you know There are certain coaches that do very well in college that don't do well at the higher level because they are control freaks And they're basically the CEO of of a 90 million dollar company And so you have to do your best to make sure that that that you try to establish a relationship But not feel the pressure to always you'll make the the coaches Happy and let that kind of dictate your decision-making process You know that really the head coach is the is the top of the pyramid at the collegiate level There's a DS and things like that But their job is to keep the head coach happy for the most part and so it makes it difficult You have to kind of work through you're not an employee, but but they can easily tell you hey, thanks, but no, thanks You know, this isn't working out. We'll find somebody else so you got to kind of walk that tightrope to keep the coaches happy and then Once they get they get fired and next coach comes in start that process all over again So, you know becomes a challenge kind of managing that so I think that's something that we have to do kind of a you know on a day-to-day basis So those are the things that the latest things that I've been kind of seeing the collegiate level as the evolution moves forward Hopefully we get things figured out. I mean, I love the sport I love I love college football, but I'm worried about the future because right now there's so many moving parts that Hopefully we can kind of get ahead of things as we move forward. So, thanks
Video Summary
The video discusses the concept of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in collegiate athletics. It starts with the history of amateurism in college sports and how it has changed over the years. It mentions the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit in 2015, which led to the disappearance of EA Sports games. The Alston case in 2021 declared that the NCAA was violating antitrust laws and handed NIL decisions to the states. Different states have since passed their own laws regarding NIL, with California and Florida being mentioned as pioneers. The video also touches upon collectives, agents, medical care, the transfer portal, conference expansion, and the challenges faced by head coaches in managing relationships with medical staff. The assistant is not able to provide credits for the video as it is based on a transcript without specific information regarding the source or creator.
