The onus of paying the kids needs to be put on the school, and get the boosters out of it.


The courts have made it so that can't happen.

Even if schools start paying players, the courts made it so NIL contracts can't be regulated. Boosters will be able to give more money to players in that scenario and there's nothing the schools, conferences or whatever replaces the NCAA can do about it.

Because of that, no regulation for pay to play is possible because boosters are outside the system. School payments can be regulated, but not booster payments through NIL.

End result: those with boosters willing to pay will get more recruits, which will only lessen parity in the sport.

I don't think you're reading them correctly.

If you fix the sport by making the players employees, the impetus for boosters or third parties to pay goes down significantly.

Pay the players, make contracts, institute a draft. Then the NIL is only used for actual promotion.
