Great news!

Great news?

Bye bye mid majors

would be really bad for the USA participation in Olys, which is still important

Some mid major schools are super wealthy.

BlooCoug

We’ll see how long they can keep up with the tv deals

GlutealGuy

May 22, 11:02pm

Long overdue. NIL deals between athletes and schools make the most sense.

BYU'01

May 22, 9:35pm

NIL deals? No. Just paying for play or some revenue sharing makes the most sense. Has nothing to do with NIL.

TCuz

He many schools make money on college sports?

Littlerich

May 22, 9:46pm

All sports? Don’t know or care. Football? A lot of them.

TCuz

May 22, 9:47pm

I don’t think this is going to separate football revenue from the other sports

Littlerich

May 22, 9:48pm

How many actually turn a profit?

davidmj10

May 23, 1:31am

Yep, because NIL has turned out to be nothing of the sort. Just pay to play from unlimited outside parties.

zonacougar

May 22, 9:47pm

NIL deals won’t be affected by this. Any group can still pay any amount of

It’s the first step to going where we all knew it was going to go. Progress.

I can see MBB & FB being revenue generators & paying those athletes, but why should athletes that lose money in their

SierraCoug

May 22, 9:46pm

So if the university athletic dept is in the red they shouldn’t pay athletes?

Littlerich

May 22, 9:47pm

If those schools can’t run athletic departments in the black while paying athletes, it’s time to close shop or pare down

Which is the end of college athletics as we know them, including football and

Does Title IX apply to university employees?

SierraCoug

May 22, 10:15pm

Good question regarding whether it applies to student employees

Littlerich

May 22, 10:17pm

No, it will not

BYU'01

First step of the final phase of the end of collegiate athletics

I seriously doubt it. I’m sure plenty of people will say that though

TCuz

Eh, I don’t see collective bargaining rule college sports like NBA/MLB/NFL

BYU'01

Absolutely. The payrolls of NCAAF and MBB programs > many $Ms for a long time

BYU'01

What’s the great news? Are they even bringing in revenue?

Not so sure this is great news especially for the schools. College athletics is

Can't imagine they'll be W-2 employees.

roseyscenario

May 22, 10:13pm

Isn't every other student who works for and is paid by the school a W2 employee?

Tare

May 22, 10:24pm

Yes

BYU'01

May 22, 10:27pm

I would do 1099 deals. This isn't work study money. W-2s could be messy & wouldn't be exempt from PR taxes, e.g FICA etc

roseyscenario

May 22, 10:55pm

1099 would be ideal but I don't think it's that easy given the school is

Tare

May 23, 7:13am

Can't they separate traditional scholarship from compensation for services?

Will they start paying the top students to come their schools next?

Why would unionization be required? The SEC is strong ‘right to work’ country

Stability. If all schools and players are offering the same benefits there is

downtownchrisbrown

May 22, 10:37pm

Why do you need a union to have a salary cap?

BYU'01

May 22, 10:47pm

That’s where this is headed. Unions and collective bargaining. I see it as a

BlooCoug

May 22, 10:36pm

It might allow the schools to claw back some control. I hadn't considered that.

Kajdin

May 22, 10:39pm

For sure. And part of the collective bargaining will regulate the transfer

BlooCoug

May 22, 10:46pm

How will this work with Title IX?

CornfedCougar

May 22, 10:04pm

It won't just be title IX. Look @ the USWNT v US Soccer equal pay dispute.

Tare

May 22, 10:12pm

It won't work. It's a giant mess. All of it. Title IX, NIL, transfer no-rules

Unintended consequences to follow...........it won't be pretty.
