The Next Shoe To Drop?

[TheMatador]

Certain schools will likely have boosters that will “sell” thousands of jerseys of each player. Other boosters will ensure that all copies of said jerseys are bought, and therefore everyone will be guaranteed at least a base salary.

You'll start seeing newsreels of tribesmen from Papua, New Guinea and young men marching from Honduras up through Mexico toward our border wearing Duke OL jerseys....

Nothing derogatory against primitives from New Guinea or any other third-worlders.

Salvation Army and Goodwill will do banner business shipping excess to faraway lands where they never heard of NCAA.....although they might worship Nick Saban.

We could use some Maoris from NZ... ..maybe Hedley has some inside sources from his neighbors...

Just hope this means we don’t have to put up with a corrupt ******* like Mark Emmert using his position to make sure his beloved Southern cow colleges win everything by letting them pay players while the rest of us can’t take a kid out for a steak without him sticking his nose into it and invoking some Mickey Mouse rule against it. #### this SOB.

So what? Those boosters are spending the money already.

autograph sessions at big schools Bama, Clemson, OU,OSU, get a donor to pony up 100-150k$
worry about play for pay is big schools advantages will become even bigger.
favor an annuity type plan to get paid out over a period of time

This makes no sense. Those schools are ALREADY breaking the rules and paying whatever it tales. If they pay more, whatever. It’s probably good for everyone if Alabama’s program becomes less profitable. The opportunity for others would be to keep kids home.

think it thru, now they are dropping bags and doing whatever it takes that includes staff, facilities, analysts etc. now it will be above board and same situation will prevail. Bama program will not become less profitable , it will be legal. opportunity for kids to stay home highly doubtful..... why would a kid stay home with benefits a top football school offers far far exceed what other schools can offer
he who has the GOLD makes the rules.... highly doubtful any change in the rules will change the current dynamic in college football.
Top rated players value the $$$$(bags), however they also value current staffs that develops players for NFL are just as key in the process as well. do you really think Manny's staff is comparable in support staff and coaching staff(developmentally) as the big dogs in college football.... not by a long shot. yes players should be compensated for playing time but(pay for pay) it is not some magic bullet that will narrow the gap between the ultimate haves and the rest of the group

 

[Ethnicsands]

When was the last time you saw a Searcy, McKinnie or Romberg jersey? I've seen more Huerta jerseys than all the OL jerseys combined.

Thats great reason to ban college players from benefiting from their efforts.

Maybe all adults should make the same hourly wage, while we’re at it.

Youre being emotional and illogical. The rules were made by the NCAA *caugh* SEC. This is upsetting the apple cart. Deregulation almost always benefits outsiders, and regulations almost always benefit insiders.

In two weeks our players will be a bunch of live action fruity billboard for Adidas to push a new “shaded water” color for a line of hoodies manufactured by six year olds in Malaysia. Got max out those margins.

It’s a ******* disgrace that our fruity live action billboard bodies want compensation. This isn’t an industry. Want to benefit off of your likeness? Here, the U has loaded up a library card; unlimited rentals. Pay yourself with some textbooks on international trade excise tax, entrepreneurial-ship, and the time value of money.

I projectile vomit every single time I consider an organized payroll system, instead of empowering their budding minds with billion dollar opportunities.

Such broad terms.

People can create laws/codes/standards with the intent to meet the minimum possible criteria promulgated by their governing authority. While also at the same time trying to find niche areas of code that aren’t effected by entities of equivalent or lesser stature.

The whole name of the game is to comply with federal law, and then use national guidance as a blue print for legitamicy - laws can’t be changed by guidance and agencies , and they are generally the de facto participant.

Anywell, somewhere in this mess, there are niche’s not directly regulated by law, and some areas may even specifically defer to a non uniform solution.

“Regulation” and “Derefulation” are just words for keen legal eyes finding those protected uninhibited niche that can be shaped legally in our favor.

Well, don't include with your white WONDER BREAD public. Because the vast majority of those public fans come from solid middle-class and upper-middle class existences ( And have the COMFORTABLE life existence. ). And said public fans absolutely cannot relate to the majority of kids whom come from lower-development enclaves wanting to MAKE A BUCK! duh In other words, from across the tracks on the poor side of town! hUh

No one really cares because the "wonder bread public" run the country. So in other words, if you want to get this bill to pass you need to get them on your side. huh.

At the point where we're paying players based on their perceived worth, college football has no reason to be associated with a University. My only gripe here is that the NCAA takes in so much money and I don't think they give enough of it to the players. That's it. I don't care what some bama QBs jersey is worth and that he doesn't get a cut. I don't care that some kid is known across the nation but doesn't get more than his teammates.

To me the only way is to put all the money in a pot and divide it evenly. Or maybe there need to be limits on what schools can spend on sports. Yeah, I know they'll get around it somehow, but we don't even bother to keep things fair at this point. Save the commie stuff, it's about fairness in sports. The pros have salary caps, and right now college doesn't. So you get a few teams able to buy whatever they want and that's ruining competition.

There is a way to get a more fair and balanced system. Just have to sit at the table and design it.

The salary cap works and they made need to work on a college equivalent.

My main thing in seeing the NCAA dissolve would be hopefully a new governing body that ENFORCES THE SYSTEM’S RULES EQUALLY.

We get good, but not elite players now. If Cane Nation is proactive, I think we can figure out ways to create lucrative packages that even if not sec and Texas money, are enticing to quality players.

We get guys in spite of bags now. This could help or hurt. Problem is no one has even tried to put a plan together for an actual system.

We might be surprised to find that we have more fans willing to pay money for blue chip recruits than we thought. When the leading sports publication was spearheading a narrative of giving us the death penalty over dancing and Pell grants, it’s easy to see why they wouldn’t risk that approach.

There is a limit to even what the big boys can pay. My main concern is would the administration even use it’s clout to develop marketing partnerships with south Florida businesses? There seems to be a track record of the school wanting a team on the cheap and not reinvesting in the program when it was most profitable. If there was a way to show that these parternerships could expose local companies to more customers, who knows what could be created.

Random Thoughts
- this will increase the gap of the haves and have nots
- lots of college sports programs will be cut
- football and basketball are the only big $ generators so the have not schools will cut sport outliers (non revenue generating) and will have to choose a concentration....yes there is tv and conference revenue...won’t last..bottom feeders will be phased out and replaced by elite conferences..
- winner is social media savvy athletes...
- big winner is Vince McMahon’s XFL and feeder leagues...why go to college? Get some
- miss EA NCAA played it for the style of play and team ... not player likeness...buy jersey for style not number associated

This argument is flawed, you have the wrong parties.

Parties:
1. Young athletes off all socioeconomic background, and they all want to get paid.

2. Large swathes of Millenials, aged 18-40, don’t buy the “paid with tuition” argument. Cool beans old timer. The reserve insured student loans, so of course the boomers exploded tuition exponentially and now all of us need to spend $150k just to get the 2019 functional equivalent of a high school diploma. These diplomas are useless. My J.D. cost me a mortgage- the reward? I basically get to start life not homeless. Old timer, your degree was worth a lot, and cost very little. That ***** dead.

3. Very small contingency of old heads near/around the NCAA, raking in tons of cash. This system is perfect for them. Why should they share?

4. And finally, the most stubborn, not even worth a mention because they’ll never change. The super old heads. Life as it was in 1964(when I played Tackle at State) is the same as it is now. You learn about life. And women. And laundry. And probably something about fundamental geometry. Also, there’s 1 tv on campus, and it gets 3 channels. The internet doesn’t exist. We’re reminded about the civil war every time we take a drink of water.

My point: you’ll never ever be able to bring these groups together and appreciate progress in similar ways.

That is not what I said at all. The other guy said the white breads don't want it and it doesn't matter what they want. Those large swathes of millennials in college are White Bread. The guys lobbying are white bread.

Touché. I may have been responding to him then without noticing lol

But for sure the only people who tend to fight progress are the extremely old guard.

Like once people are in the “resistent to progress” camp, they’re pretty much there for life.

That’s not a young mans opinion

not at all, just the reality of situation, the tides of change are on NCAA, and they will adjust to these changes
and develop a plan on seeing players are compensated for their efforts. percentage of jersey sales perhaps
an annuity based on percentage of playing time and being the NCAA sometime in to the players academic performance.
schools will adjust accordingly as well.... think of airline deregulation at first , great for consumers in terms of choice and cost
now airlines have adjusted ( fees for everything, less choices, less flights) and airlines are reporting very nice profits

 

[GojiraCane]

Perhaps we can be at the forefront and have the players sell advertising space on their jerseys. Our punter for instance could sell jersey space to the Australian Bureau of Tourism.
