I think it's more mind blowing that California has teams in the ACC
You know we've jumped the shark in college sports when Pacific coast teams are playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
I bet it was about money.
It was about money, right?
Florida State getting their NIL contract verbiage ready:
njury and breach of contract
"In addition to a breach of any specific provision of this Agreement, the following cir stances create a breach of contract by Student-Athlete:
1. Illness or Injury Impacting Value of NIL Rights. Student-Athlete experiences any illness or injury which is serious enough to affect the value of the rights granted to [school] under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect or limit [school]'s obligations to provide Student-Athletes with medical coverage of injuries sustained as a result of participation in [school] Athletics as required by Section 16.4 of the NCAA Division I Bylaws, where applicable."
A few schools CBS Sports spoke with for this story have language or have considered adding language that allows them to cancel or alter a player's dollar amount if they suffer an off-field injury doing an unsanctioned activity. Florida State features that language within its rev share contract drafts that it's sent to players and their representation.
But nobody CBS spoke with considered the way Florida State wrote the above injury provision as normal if the injury occurred in a football context.
"That's excessive," said an ACC Director of Player Personnel.
It's different from the NFL where athletes are employees and there are injury protections for players if they were hurt in organized activities and a stated process for medical second opinions and injury settlements.
And while an agent CBS spoke with expects Florida State to ultimately remove that stipulation from the contract, the way it's currently written gives FSU full control to adjust a player's salary when any injury occurs......"
'That's not normal'...

I wonder if they would have ever suspended Ty Detmer if he had admitted to premarital intercourse. Maybe for one half against a pansy school or something.
