Take away all their free stuff, pay them, and then make them pay for all the stuff they were getting for playing a game.

The NLRB GC issued a memo. Doubt this changes anything. Guy will be gone in November and the Trump appointment will trash this memo.

Misleading title. Private institutions only. Big whoop! So the Vanderbilt athletes will have to claim their tuition costs as income.

The problem is are you going to pay the 2nd string kicker the same as the starting QB? If you do, then people will hold out. There is no good system for this other than increasing stipends.

College football will be going away within the next 10-15 years with all of this.

If you pay the men you have to pay the women too.

Agreed. If you pay the football players you have to pay everyone. I played sports in college & we practiced/worked out every single day just like the football players did.

Does LeBron or Watt pay for their apparel or training? NO. Finally end this farce of amateurism and "free" education. These athletes aren't going to college to play school.

LOL, No they don't. You didn't read all that did you!

Not at the same rate as men. There's a loophole.

If one exists it will be closed by something like Title IX.

"I think it's a complete canard," Kessler said of potential Title IX implications related to his suit. "Title IX says nothing about the issue of compensation. Title IX talks about giving equal opportunities to participate in athletics, which this case wouldn't change one way or another. You'd have the same opportunities, except in those two sports (football and men's basketball) the schools would be free to treat the athletes more fairly given the revenue being generated. It's really no different now than the head football coach at Alabama, I'm sure, makes more money in salary than all of the female coaches at Alabama put together. That's not a Title IX violation." The only compensation issue addressed by Title IX is scholarships, but the law also requires equal treatment such as promotion, said Donna Lopiano, president of Sport Management Resources and former CEO of the Women's Sports Foundation.
Coaches salaries will go down and players go up. I have zero problem with this. college football wouldn't be any different than what it is now.

Then separate athletics from higher education.

That's why college football is so great and why it's more popular than the NFL. People feel a part of the university. The pageantry and history of college athletics is what makes it great. If this is the route they eventually go then do away with CFB. Create a minor league football league with no attachments to universities that feeds the NFL and then watch college campuses crumble when they lose that revenue.

IF they take a pay check, then like every other employee in the country, they have to pay taxes on it; as well, taxes on the value of their education, room, board & medical coverage. Social Security taxes taken out as well.
