That's just turning college sports into the straight-up minor leagues.

Worse, there is basically no contract.

Baseball had the system to solve it before NIL, but the greed of colleges got what they asked for.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
This is still silly, but one step closer to players becoming employees under contract, which I think is a good thing

I’d rather universities pay than fans/boosters.

With public universities, isn't that the same thing? fans/boosters taxes go to the university and then to the students.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
y’all doubted me when I said this is what would happen.
Okay maybe one of you did and the rest ignored me. But it FELT like all of you did.

This is insanity. For me anyway. I'm not sure what I'm going to do here moving forward. It's hard to see a positive end-game for the USU's of the world.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
Again, the madness only ends when interest ends. If they want to kill the golden goose then I guess that is what will happen. It is very sad. I was only watching USU anyways. Once that passes, I am free to do what I wish.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
I hate to quit, so I won't. I added a couple football seats for this coming season and won't give up my bball seats...they're too good! I'll focus on having fun with my family and friends. And all you good Aggies.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
Here's what i want to know. How does title 9 work with schools being in control of pay. Won't they have to pay out equally to women's teams? I don't see how that would work.

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
The next escalation is making players employees and having contracts. It’s inevitable at this point.

I would love to have contracts for players. There needs to be more control on this chaos.

Would also be nice to have a successful local business throw a ton of cash into an NIL fund

I wonder how long people will be willing to put out this insane amount of money when only one team can win the natty each year.trevordude wrote: ↑April 19th, 2024, 9:21 amI bet you they don't win the American conference in the next 2 years

Re: Next escalation in the pay-for-play …
It will be interesting to see how the next few years go when these donors don't get the results they expect. I think the rage of building NIL coffers will peak then crash a little. My economic mind says there should be self correction. At least I hope.stwinward wrote:I wonder how long people will be willing to put out this insane amount of money when only one team can win the natty each year.trevordude wrote: ↑April 19th, 2024, 9:21 amI bet you they don't win the American conference in the next 2 years

Or naming rights. I’d like to hear during pre-game player introductions something like:
