There will still be a need for the Deacon Club to continue to fund the basic scholarships for Wake athletes.
Ohio State football coach Ryan Day lobbied heavily for the change, saying Ohio schools would be at a recruiting disadvantage without it.
DR is right. People thinking this was just going to be about a few players earning money off their tiktok or IG accounts are wrong. There are going to be fundamental changes to college sports.
A young rich turd named Schottenstein in Columbus, OH had been lobbying the business community and government officials for the state to pass NIL legislation for months. (Schottenstein of the Schottenstein Center where the basketball Buckeyes and Columbus Blue Jackets play.) He regularly posts pictures of himself having dinner with Urban Meyer and Ohio State football players in pretty tight-knit settings. Ohio's NIL law went into effect July 1 joining a bunch of other states, including FL, GA, and other southern states. They know what's up. They're going to start paying players directly.
Legal pay to play is here.

I guess the traditional Deacon Club as an arm of the athletic department will get cut back greatly. In its place, it seems, would be a new private entity. Who is looking for a new job? Seems like there will be CEOs of these private organizations for all P5 schools quickly.

The Blue Jackets don't play in the Schottenstein Center. They've got their own very hockey centric venue downtown in Nationwide arena.
Columbus is a big city in a football mad state. Of course local businesses are going support Ohio State football. Lots of big businesses in the city to funnel money to the players for NIL. Unfortunately, I see Wake getting left way behind the football factories and the major markets like LA, New York, Atlanta etc. I hope Wake and other similarly situated schools are able to adapt to be able to compete on this level.
There are roughly 800 colleges and universities in the U.S. who compete at some level in football. If Wake is either forced out b/c it can't compete for top-tier player$, or if (ideally) it decides on its own that "big time" no longer fits its academic mission, we can still have a competitive program, just at a different level. I think this will all sort itself out over the next 4-6 years.

Yeah, no big deal. I look forward to leaving the ACC and having Elon become our new big rival.
Ah yes, this is completely different than what happened in Alabama, California, or every single other state that has passed NIL. When Michigan football hasn't beaten tOSU in 3512 days, fans will grasp at straws to make them the boogeyman.
This is the problem with tOSU fans. The post had nothing to do with Michigan at all. It's simply an article I saw about a guy I know related to pay for play in college sports that I decided to post on a Wake Forest message board about Wake Forest sports. I even placed the article in context saying other states had passed similar legislation.
Get a grip.
