Looks like schools can now pay players.

That’s the only way we get a salary cap.

And at which point, bag men will become a premium again.

Collective bargaining is the final stop for all this, but that was obvious 15 years ago. The NCAA was greedy and refused to share, now it’s dead. As the saying goes- pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

A good thing about collective bargaining is self enforcement. The two sides will be making deals that could be worth billions, and it is highly unlikely that the athletes will let a handful of bagmen ruin it for everyone else. You spend months in negotiations- agreeing to terms on transfer limits, salaries, pensions, insurance etc and then allow a bagman to pay some player under the table and then essentially void all that work, face massive penalties , and give the schools massive leverage in the next negotiation ? Not likely to happen.

Unions have their own ways of enforcing internal rules, and sometimes they can be unpleasant.

Good bye NCAA!!! By getting rid of the NCAA, the schools could pay players with the money the NCAA has been syphoning off. The NCAA generated $1.3B last year from college sports. Just over half went back to the schools. Eliminating the NCAA would bring at least $500M more back to the schools. There would need to be a new governing body, but it could be much smaller than the NCAA.

None of us have the ability to make NIL deals that make us millions if we perform without doing much next to our regular career.

It has to be capped or the movement from small to big and from private institutions to public ones is just going to increase further and further.
 
Sorry for being uninformed, but we finally have a NIL program that is on point with any school in the country and it is helping us.
Does this hurt that and put us back at a disadvantage because we are a smaller private school? I hope this does not give the advantage back to the SEC and BIG10 programs that have always dominated revenue/bag game.
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Go Canes!!!

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I wonder how the negotiations will work between university and athlete when it comes to collective bargaining or just salary contracts.

Because the universities, I would imagine, argue that a large piece of the value is due to the logo on the side of the helmet, and fans (those who are alumni) would support those schools.

No expert, not even sure if I'm accurate in this assumption, but was just curious.

“As part of the settlement, scholarship caps are eliminated and new roster limits will be implemented. Schools are now permitted to put on scholarship every member of a roster as long as they stay within a newly set roster limit.”

Ummm, so baseball…

This is the real scam. They are trying to get Congress to provide a legal safe harbor to the NCAA, which has been destroyed every time it’s been in court. This would breathe new life into the NCAA’s enforcement arm and allow them to cut off outside NIL money that rightfully belongs to the players.

The legislation must fail. Don’t grant legal safe harbor to a criminal cartel.

I love my canes and UM but we are getting the word “college/university” out of the sports. This is becoming an unofficial minor league. There must be some kind of control/regulation specially in the transfer rules.

I absolutely agree here. If the NCAA and universities want to avoid ****housery, payments need to be capped at a certain maximum, with equality for positions and not what the NFL has, e.g.

AND those payments have to be made official in such a manner that they can be backtracked and publicized.

Public and taxable!!

Unmitigated consequence - double digit numbers of schools drop football. The optics of escalating costs and student debt to finance semi pro teams will be untenable.

That's a good thing, we don't need 250 D1 teams. With any luck, we'll get rid of the September cupcakes entirely.

The NCAA is just a conglomeration of the member schools, the money still goes to them

I think it will be 50-60 teams in one super conference with paid players, then everyone else who was formerly D1 will still have “amateur football” where players get scholarships and a small stipend.

To be honest, it might be more fun to watch the latter. Watching paid college players that are basically pros would be like watching the CFL or XFL- why would I interested in watching a worse version of the NFL? I get having interest as an alumnus, but a lot of casual fans will stop caring.

Who knows- Maybe high school football will explode on tv as it will be the only football that differentiates itself substantially from the NFL.
 
So they want be college athletes anymore. They're be paid employees. Form a Union young men. Get a seat at the table. First thing TV revenue. Get them old *** mofos back for all of these yrs for making a living off you all backs. Capitalism at its best
 
At this point, can we finally rid ourselves of the "student-athlete" moniker
As many have stated. College will now be a minor league level for many of the sports, especially popular men's sports.

Title 9 and the disbursement of "funds" will be the craziest phase

Just an off the cuff question
Is the "scholarship" part of the "payments"?

Welp, goodbye the greatest game ever known. Semi-pro college football, no bueno
