“Education-related expenses” they’ll get sued.

Also agree the cost of each athlete has potentially exploded.

This is a Cat 5 hurricane through college sports. Tough to overstate how heavily

Not sure I understand your comment in this context.

You are completely missing the implications here…. There now is no reason NOT

Pretorian

I guess my point was that costs just went up for ALL sports.

What do you mean by making bank?

I hope you’re right, I just don’t see a scenario where schools don’t find a way

Plenty of case law out there suggesting it has to apply equally as far as I know

My money is on CFB team doing what they must to get players rather than lawyers

Pretorian

Probably a good bet.

So they can buy them stuff instead of giving them money to buy stuff

It just nuked most G5 programs and will widen the divide between haves and have nots. Time for another Division.

A new division was a totally viable solution yesterday. Today it's meaningless.

Can someone give me a TLDR? I have no clue what this is about.

Icelandic Cougar

The NCAA cannot require college athletes remain "amateurs". They are allowed

StarMan

6/21/21 8:55am

SCOTUS just ruled that the NCAA can't limit how much "education related"

eBay will be full of football players' laptops since they get 100 every semester

panacablue

AND...courts have already ruled that players can benefit from their own likeness

Basically, yes. Still TBD how that all takes shape.

I think this kills BYU. The BOT will not be cool with upping the arms race.

The one area where BYU athletes could do well is sponsorships

I worry we overstate the fanbase; we don't get the viewers other schools do, so

krindorr

6/21/21 9:44am

yeah that may be true

nc-puma

6/21/21 11:01am

'we don't get the viewers other schools do' What other schools?

ManicBlue

6/21/21 2:54pm

Memphis, UCF, Cincy, Utah, TCU, West Virginia

krindorr

6/21/21 3:09pm

No those schools don't outdraw BYU. It's their opponents that are the draw.

ManicBlue

6/22/21 1:23am

Wait I've been told Independence gives us higher profile opponents than AAC play

krindorr

6/22/21 6:37am

Check the time slots. Makes a huge difference.

ManicBlue

6/22/21 9:22am

Oh absolutely; they get better time slots

krindorr

6/22/21 12:44pm

They put BYU in the late time slot because they can based on location and

To put it all in perspective, how do they each fare within their timeslots?

ManicBlue

6/22/21 3:55pm

Their national games are mostly AAC, BYU's all P5/bowls; no time slot data

krindorr

6/22/21 4:45pm

Again without the time slot data ... apples and oranges right?

ManicBlue

Not a single BYU student athlete will suffer from Hashimotos

I would love to disagree with you. But I can't.

It depends on how education related benefits is going to be defined. Hopefully Congress does that quickly.

Turnpike Lane

6/21/21 9:13am

I doubt congress gets involved.

Kinda, but saying one thing and doing it are two different things.

IceCreamButt

6/21/21 6:43pm

As if the education they received wasn’t devalued enough as it was… pathetic

Pretorian

6/21/21 10:05am

Aren't education related expenses already defined through 529 savings plans law?

6/21/21 10:51am

It is ALSO a consistent ruling based on natural law. But the real caution...

There will clearly be many unanticipated consequences...

lbmango

True. If many schools start dropping sports, the athletes have accomplished

A millionaire could do the same thing with his daughter with no tax consequences

(Private)

6/21/21 11:17am

Not so because the work for pay rule is more likely the law herre.

What's the fascination with natural law? And why do you think it applies here?

GilbertAZCougar

Will athletes negotiate with Agents the terms of support with the school?

It’s possible. How many schools do you think will create dorms like that
