If you are an NCAA athlete, you need a new board name!

If the cost of doing business goes up that much, there are a lot of programs which will be unable to continue operations

Congress will solve that problem.

I don't think that's a likely outcome

Indy Coug

I don't see how it's avoidable at this point.

They don’t have to pay players, they just can’t collude to not pay players

Correct, which means if even one school decides to pay players, there's nothing

MyTwoCents

6/21/21 4:30pm

Only the big schools, the smaller schools that can’t afford too, can keep going

While true, it makes even smaller that small chance that a small school had to

Not even Bama has that kind of money

That pitch worked 0 times in the past unless it was another P5 school that will

Perhaps you're right. But I think it's more likely they'll spend less money on

Do you want a nicer locker room or an extra $20k a year?

Joe Banks

No they won’t. NFL teams make a lot more money than any one college team and the

I’m willing to bet that programs who’s entire athletic revenue is at most $230

You assume donations from boosters will stay the same. Why? If necessary to

Just like a minimum wage artificially deflated jobs the opposite is true

Perhaps, in the long run.

They need to divide the division right now

What would the point be?

That’s just it, they wouldn’t.

This could have been done at any point - no Supreme Court decision needed

Club sports are subject to Title IX as are intramural sports

ABCoug

This is something that could easily be amended with legislation or worked around.

Rolling things back in a woke world?

The question that comes up though now is equity

Impact on women’s athletics?

BlackHawkCoug

6/21/21 5:08pm

This is likely to hurt all non-revenue generating sports. Not just women’s.

Zastava

The Olympics focused for a long time on a model of amateur-only; theye still OK

It'll change, be different, but it won't cease to be; that was my point

I struggle to distinguish this from leagues with salary caps and max contracts
