    The House v. NCAA settlement creates a new system for direct university payments to athletes, but it does not solve the existing legal complexities for international student-athletes, meaning they cannot generally get paid through this revenue-sharing model without jeopardizing their visa status. Here's why:F-1 Visa Restrictions on Employment:Most international student-athletes in the U.S. are here on F-1 student visas. These visas are issued specifically for academic purposes and come with strict limitations on employment.Generally, F-1 visa holders are not allowed to engage in off-campus employment unless it's directly related to their degree and/or career development (e.g., Curricular Practical Training - CPT, or Optional Practical Training - OPT), and often requires specific authorization and time limits.The Problem: Direct payments from a university, even if framed as "NIL revenue sharing," are highly likely to be interpreted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as "active income" or a form of employment. This directly violates the terms of an F-1 visa. Risk of Visa Violation and Deportation:If an international student-athlete accepts direct payments from their university under the House settlement, they risk violating their visa status.Consequences of such a violation can be severe, including the termination of their F-1 visa, forced departure from the U.S. within a short period, or even potential deportation and bans on future re-entry. Lack of Federal Guidance:Despite the significant changes brought by NIL and now the House settlement, there has been no clear, explicit guidance from federal immigration authorities (USCIS or Department of Homeland Security) on how these new forms of athlete compensation apply to F-1 visa holders.Without such guidance, universities are in a difficult position. Many immigration attorneys and university international student offices strongly advise international student-athletes not to accept direct payments from their schools due to the immense risk to their immigration status.Limited Workarounds (Pre-Settlement, Still Applicable):Prior to the House settlement, for NIL deals, the limited "workarounds" for international student-athletes involved:Passive Income: Receiving compensation that doesn't involve "work" performed in the U.S. (e.g., a one-time royalty for a group licensing deal on apparel).Services Performed Abroad: Structuring NIL deals so that any "work" (e.g., social media posts, appearances) is performed while the athlete is outside the U.S. (e.g., during summer break in their home country) and payments are made to an international bank account.These workarounds were already complex and limited. The direct university payments, however, are explicitly tied to their participation for the university within the U.S., making these workarounds largely inapplicable.In essence, while the House settlement allows U.S. student-athletes to receive direct payments from their universities, international student-athletes are caught in a legal limbo due to federal immigration laws. Unless there is a specific legislative fix from Congress, or clear interpretive guidance from USCIS that carves out an exception for this type of compensation, international players cannot directly benefit from the revenue-sharing model without putting their visa status, and thus their ability to remain in the U.S. and compete, at extreme risk.This creates a significant disparity and a competitive challenge, particularly for sports with a high percentage of international athletes (e.g., track and field, tennis, swimming, soccer, basketball).Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

  • ANALYST: Texas Tech, Baylor Will Meet in BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP Over BYU, Kansas State for CFP Spot
    2025/06/17
    talking about Texas Tech and Baylor potentially facing off in the Big 12 football championship in 2025! That's a much more plausible and interesting scenario given their current standing and trajectories within the revamped Big 12.Here's a breakdown of why both teams have a legitimate shot and what their paths might look like:Texas Tech Red Raiders: The Rising ContenderTexas Tech enters the 2025 season with a significant amount of buzz and high expectations, possibly higher than they've had in nearly two decades.Aggressive Roster Building: Head Coach Joey McGuire has been incredibly active and successful in the transfer portal. Texas Tech has reportedly brought in a top-ranked transfer class for 2025, adding significant talent, including players projected to be NFL Draft picks. This influx of talent is directly tied to their significant NIL efforts (as previously discussed, the $55M projected spend).Returning Quarterback: The return of their starting quarterback (likely Behren Morton, though the searches mention Jake Retzlaff for BYU, so assuming Morton for Tech based on other reports) is a huge factor for continuity and leadership. A stable, experienced QB is crucial for navigating a tough conference schedule.Coaching Staff Stability: Joey McGuire has established a clear culture and identity in Lubbock. While there have been coordinator changes, the overall vision and buy-in from the program seem strong. McGuire has publicly embraced the "championship or bust" mentality.Favorable Schedule (Relatively): Some analyses (like 247Sports) have noted that Texas Tech's 2025 schedule is relatively favorable within the Big 12, with a combined win percentage of opponents that's on the lower side. This could provide a clearer path to racking up wins.Preseason Projections: Several early 2025 power rankings and FPI projections are already putting Texas Tech near the top of the Big 12. For example, some have them as high as #1 or #2 contenders in the conference.Baylor Bears: The Resurgent Dark HorseThe Big 12 is expected to be incredibly competitive and balanced in 2025, especially with the additions of former Pac-12 schools (Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado).Kansas State is often picked as the favorite due to consistency and returning QB Avery Johnson.Arizona State is another strong contender, having won the Big 12 in 2024 (according to one source, implying a quick rise to power).BYU, TCU, and Iowa State are also expected to be in the mix.Conclusion:A Texas Tech vs. Baylor Big 12 Championship game in 2025 is a very plausible and exciting scenario.Texas Tech has the roster talent, NIL investment, and coaching continuity to break through and compete for their first Big 12 title. Their aggressive approach suggests they are truly aiming for the top.Baylor, riding the momentum of their strong finish in 2024 and with key offensive pieces returning, is poised to be a legitimate dark horse or even a front-runner.Both teams have the coaching, talent, and renewed optimism to make a deep run in the expanded and highly competitive Big 12. While they'll face stiff competition from other strong programs, a championship showdown between the Red Raiders and Bears in Arlington is certainly within the realm of possibility.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

  • OOF: BYU to Kansas State, Big 12 Schools CUTTING SPORTS Like Baseball, Volleyball is Imminent
    2025/06/16
    The House v. NCAA settlement, with its mandate for direct university payments to athletes, is indeed creating an unprecedented financial crunch for many Power Four (P4) athletic departments, leading to widespread concerns that some will be forced to cut non-revenue sports. This is not just speculation; signals are already emerging from various institutions.Here's why P4 schools may have to start cutting non-revenue sports:1. The Massive New Expense: $20.5 Million Annually (and Growing)A Sudden Budget Line Item: Starting July 1, 2025, P4 schools can (and effectively must, to remain competitive) pay their athletes up to an estimated $20.5 million annually in direct compensation. This cap is also set to increase by at least 4% each year for a decade. This isn't "new money" being generated; it's a new, substantial expense that must be absorbed into existing athletic department budgets.Competing for Talent: The pressure to spend near this cap will be immense. If a school doesn't, it risks being at a significant disadvantage in recruiting and retaining top talent in revenue-generating sports like football and basketball, which are the primary drivers of conference media rights revenue.2. Uneven Distribution of Funds:Football and Basketball Get the Lion's Share: While the $20.5 million cap applies to the entire athletic department, the widespread expectation (and the distribution formula for the $2.8 billion in back pay) is that the vast majority of this money will go to football (estimated 70-75%) and men's basketball (around 15%). This leaves a tiny sliver of the pie for women's basketball (around 5%) and all other Olympic and non-revenue sports (the remaining 5%).The "Cost of Doing Business" for Football: For schools looking to remain competitive in the football arms race, allocating $15-20 million or more just to football players for direct compensation, on top of coaching salaries, facilities, and other expenses, forces difficult choices.3. Budgetary Strain and Deficits:Existing Financial Challenges: Even before the House settlement, many athletic departments, even in the Power Four, operate with thin margins or even deficits, often relying on university subsidies. The added $20.5 million expense exacerbates this significantly.Michigan's Example: The University of Michigan, a financially powerful athletic department, has already publicly announced plans for $10 million in budget cuts and a 10% staff reduction to help address a projected $27 million deficit for the 2025-26 academic year. This deficit is directly attributed to the $20.5 million for revenue sharing and an additional $6.2 million in new scholarships. If a powerhouse like Michigan is making cuts, it signals the severity of the situation for other P4 schools.4. Roster Limits and Scholarship Implications:New Roster Caps: The settlement also introduces new roster limits for many sports (e.g., football is capped at 105 players). While schools can "grandfather in" current athletes for a period, the long-term effect is a reduction in roster sizes.Unlimited Scholarships: While scholarships can now be offered to every athlete on a roster (within the new limits), this flexibility comes at a cost. If a non-revenue sport historically relied on a large number of walk-ons (who might now be eligible for scholarships but add to the cost), or if scholarship dollars are diverted to pay revenue-sport athletes, it puts pressure on overall departmental budgets.5. The Title IX Tightrope:Equitable Financial Assistance: Title IX mandates that financial assistance (which includes these new direct payments) must be provided equitably based on the participation rates of male and female athletes.The Dilemma: If a school allocates, say, 85-90% of its $20.5 million direct pay pool to male athletes in football and men's basketball, while male athletes constitute, for example, 60% of the overall athlete population, this creates a clear Title IX imbalance.Cutting Women's Sports as a "Solution": To try and balance the Title IX scales without diverting significant funds from football, some fear schools might be tempted to cut women's sports programs, or reduce their scope, to lower female participation numbers and thus reduce the required financial allocation. This would be a highly controversial and legally risky move, but the financial pressures are immense.Conclusion:The House settlement is a game-changer that professionalizes athlete compensation. However, the staggering new financial outlay for direct athlete payments, coupled with existing budget constraints and the disproportionate allocation of funds to revenue sports, puts immense pressure on non-revenue sports. While athletic directors like SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey express hope that sports won't be cut, the financial realities are forcing tough decisions. It is a very real and growing concern that many P4 schools will respond to this pressure by reducing funding, scaling back opportunities, or even eliminating ...
