Oh wow. Big news

Great news.

I'm afraid this will force us to get into a major conference, or kill our sports programs

Hank Rearden

I'm in the "kill our sports program" camp. We won't pay our coaches, we most definitely will not pay our

This has nothing to do with schools paying athletes

The issue is big market teams have an advantage

Yep, this will be the case. Just going to become minor league NFL

Maybe. Nobody in LA seems to care about UCLA while plenty of people in Alabama

It’s the school brand as well as the market

Bingo. How much a player will get paid will be #1 recruiting concern.

Hank Rearden

10/29/19 12:03pm

You mean just like it has been for decades.

messi

10/29/19 1:15pm

Only big names and starters will really earn anything most likely.

The Llama

10/29/19 12:05pm

yet every quality HS recruit thinks they will be the big name just like they expect to start as incoming freshman

Hank Rearden

10/29/19 12:07pm

True, but maybe see more transfer situations than we do even now.

The Llama

10/29/19 12:09pm

The players that have multiple P5 offers will have to factor this in

I would think majority of this money would be coming

It’s all about the teams brand, not the individual players

No way. It helps them.

You think BYU will have "advertisers" that can compete with the big boys?

mudpupper

I think only top player's will really get paid, most athlete's won't ever see much, if any money. And I think there...

BengalCougar

Disagree. BYU has an insane fan base, Jimmer could have made millions in college

Right. We'll give them a lot more socks and step up from a used jetta to a new Sentra

Who is going to pay the BYU players though? I want to believe this but I find it

I don't see BYU having a problem with it, it doesn't cost them anything.

So all the people who were against the law are now mad at the NCAA?

Baron

This doesn’t seem like the best news for BYU.

Even for non starters. They’ll be able to consolidate even more talent

YIsForBrigham

No, it just means EA Sports pays more to players and less to the NCAA

Good for California for forcing the NCAA's hand.

We’ll be the best supported FCS team in America.

gwalker

10/29/19 12:02pm

BYU doesn't have to do anything. Just get out of the way.

Doogal McCougar

10/29/19 12:02pm

Yeah, BYU is going to shut down it's athletic program because players are allowed to make money.

Doogal McCougar

So how does this effect BYU?

It was expected, and predicted. The NCAA had no choice.

It's gonna be peanuts for most kids, and very few will get much of anything. Pro leagues will still dominate.
