It's destroyed so much already. Why would college sports be any different?

They want tax rev. Not surprised at all.

Yep, the Universities would then pay payroll tax that isn't paid in NIL arrngmts

Part of me thinks this might be okay.

I agree in principle, but in that case you have to cut out unprofitable sports

LSUcougar92

6/2/23 4:20pm

Absolutely, most sports and almost all women's sports would go away

Title 9 would keep women’s sports in proportion.

I am not a Title IX expert, but could cause messes there

Gustav

6/2/23 4:47pm

hmmm the word assistance. Is that official documentation or is that your use. Reason I ask is wages are not assistance

DJROSS

I believe that as currently applied, title IX requirements are that actual

That is a danger.

You mean the U of U has a bowling team?

DJROSS

Bowling is one of the top enrolled majors up there

So then do they charge athletes in non-revenue sports to cover the costs of their sports? What a stupid idea since

ManicBlue

6/2/23 4:22pm

So as university employees they can no longer do side deals? Have to be treated

Huh?

Say Hello to Non-Competes and NDAs and good-bye to NIL deals and transfers

2FarGone

6/2/23 4:27pm

Exactly, we will pay you but as an employee you cant go to a competitor.

Until non-competes are done away with by the Biden administration

Seems like California is the best example of what not to do

So UCLA will be sending capital calls to the players at the end of every season?

Mark Pope is in favor of revenue sharing. It's a good thing.

Be careful what you ask for. Universities have very specific HR police’s for

Nat Gas Man

FB and BB are absolutely revenue generating. 50/50 split just like the NFL is

jvquarterback

6/2/23 5:56pm

Nobody could afford a 50/50 split. Not even TX which generates like$200M

Nat Gas Man

6/2/23 6:29pm

If the NFL can CFB can. Have to cut off the rest of the AD though.

jvquarterback

6/2/23 10:58pm

The highest CFB doesn’t get a fraction of the NFL’s worst team. The financial

Nat Gas Man

6/2/23 11:46pm

NFL is 49/51 and the player portion has been improving. I don’t care what the

You DO realize that the NFL doesn't have to financially prop up multiple other sports for two genders, right?

Profit sharing with proceeds coming from the sport they work. Same as happens in

Pay them what they’re worth. It isn’t hard.

jvquarterback

6/2/23 6:08pm

It's not that hard? Is it the players or is it that they're representing the school? Which is more valuable?

ManicBlue

That's what people don't get. I root for BYU, not Kedon Slovis. His only value

99.9% of AD employees are overpaid.

jvquarterback

6/2/23 9:27pm

How do head basketball and head football coaches in P5 conferences equate to 99%

GeorgeAlbertsgoatie

6/3/23 10:41am

Nice try Brian Santiago. You guys all ride the gravy train MBB and FB create.

jvquarterback

6/3/23 11:06am

If they account like Utah, tax dollars are revenue. So athletes=state employees?

Brandoblueblood

Or will college athletics destroy California?
