Won’t be an issue once these new laws are passed though.

I said they aren’t today. That was wrong. I also said they will be legal under the new laws. That was correct. Booster payments aren’t bribes though under today’s laws. They are illegal because they defraud the universities.

Looks like we are both partially right. Yes, booster payments are illegal today, but only because they are against NCAA rules. Under these new laws, which will force those NCAA rules to change, it will no longer be illegal. Also, the crimes the people in the Adidas scandal are being charged...

Settlement agreement between who? The states and the NCAA? If so, the players would just sue and win.

Don’t see how that could or will be limited by any court.

What makes you think payments from boosters will still be illegal? It’s not illegal today, it’s just against NCAA rules. However, with these new laws, booster payments will be opened up because it’s nearly impossible to distinguish boosters from non-boosters.

Except that it’s not. Nothing stops these kids from signing deals immediately after their senior season is done.

Wrong. They won’t do it that way. They will do it through appearance fees and speaking fees. Booster clubs will contract with recruits to come speak at a booster meeting for huge sums and there is literally nothing illegal about that and nothing the IRS can or would do about it, except of course...

Even if the XFL could ever become a legit league and started drafting kids right out of high school, it would have virtually no impact on CFB. CFB exists and will continue to exist because of fans that are rabid about their school. That’s not going anywhere.
