NCAA Commission to Study Efficacy of Salary Cap
Indianapolis, IN (UT) - Sources within the offices of Recruiting and Competitive Balance have indicated that the NCAA is prepared to launch a comprehensive study to determine the need for a salary cap. And while the earnings of coaches have indeed escalated, it is not these payments that the NCAA is seeking to investigate and control. Rather. multiple sources within the organization have said that the study will instead review the immense payments by boosters, alumni, coaches, and mentors to college athletes. "The spending has gotten out of control", said one member. "We're now seeing some student athletes making in excess of professional players." Another unnamed official said, "It has the potential of upsetting competitive balance. College football has thrived for years with the familiar brands of Alabama, LSU, Clemson, and Georgia. What's at stake is an undeserving program illicitly spending, leaping ahead of the pillars of our sport and ruining it for everyone."

The NCAA is, amazingly, correct about this. But why now to care? Is it because someone in the organization finally realized that having one team from the southeast play another team from the southeast almost every year in the championship isn’t good for a national sport? If so, you have to do a lot more than limit payments to players. Though its a good place to start (and push those payments right back under the table).
Frankly, I think a salary cap on head coaches would be more impactful But that will never happen because coaches won’t allow it. Just limit what the kids can receive, right?

The FBI has LSU’s basketball coach Will Wade on tape talking about the “strong-***” offer LSU made to a recruit through middle man Dawkins and yet Wade was reinstated after a brief suspension while the school looked into it. NCAA has this MF on tape and what did they do? Not a f*cking thing. What did LSU do? They gave this f his job back. SMFH.

No, its because California/Florida just passed a law that will allow their respective universities to earn money from their likeness in the coming future.

This is the perfect time for all schools to get out from under the NCAA's thumb and develop something more reasonable and more in line with providing fairness, and more in tune with the student athlete's reality and needs.

You don't believe someone who's fought tooth and nails against reasonableness, and fairness....to suddenly change and fairly manage what they've been so against in the past

Sounds like another way for the NCAA to crackdown on the smaller schools while they allow the Bama’s of the world to do what they’ve been doing.

Absolutely. This article was all about keeping lesser schools from rivaling the SEC and BIG. Why don't they just split off from college football and become a semi-professional league all on their own? The NCAA is **** bent on destroying the game of football for the majority of colleges not in the two favored conferences.

No tf it hasn’t. And since when has Clemson become a familiar brand?? Lol. Didn’t Clemson JUST do this? Lol.

Sports in general thrive off a parity. Yes, u need some villains from blue blood programs, but it’s fun seeing underdogs get its turn to slay the dragon. No one wants to see the same 4 teams EVERY CFP!
