Added to this story last night: The CSC released a statement that negotiations are still ongoing with attorneys. While the CSC’s guidance from two weeks ago - about the treatment of collectives - is expected to be altered, the finalization of new guidance remains undetermined.
Attorneys have resolved a dispute over how the College Sports Commission handles NIL collectives, sources tell @YahooSports, revising its approach to treat them like other businesses - a major move that paves the way for continued collective operations bit.ly/4kVo5od
An early look at Missouri, Auburn’s seventh opponent of the 2025 season. The Tigers rebuilt their offense but with some key portal additions and could field a surprisingly good defense... on3.com/teams/auburn-t…

Attorney Tom Mars, who is representing collectives in potential legal challenges against the CSC, releases a statement on the news:

Pete has it right. With the CSC backtracking on its “valid business purpose” guidance, collective deals will continue as part of player compensation packages & part of recruiting. Team payrolls essentially just grew. Schools that got rid of collectives, time to bring ‘em back.
What does this mean? It means your local NIL collective can still get dollars to top athletes and recruits. Rev share will have a salary cap. But nothing is slowing down a school from building out a $35 million roster.
