The article discusses Nevin Shapiro, a University of Miami booster who notoriously violated NCAA rules from 2001 to 2009, spending around $4 million on athletes to promote his lavish lifestyle. Shapiro and various coaches express doubts about the new system, which aims to manage NIL rights and agreements amidst growing professionalization in college sports. They assert that enforcement of regulations will be difficult, expressing a lack of trust in the new approach and deeming the system flawed or impractical.
I think it's a flawed system before it gets started," St. John's basketball coach Rick Pitino said. "Totally flawed.
[Enforcement will] be very hard," Kansas basketball coach Bill Self commented. "We have zero trust," Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter noted.
This is not the way to regulate this," Shapiro said. "I applaud them for giving an effort, I guess, but this is not practical.
Shapiro estimates he spent $4 million overall on players while claiming he never paid them directly to come to Miami.
