It has been for some time now. Inevitable with anything that has that much money circulating around it, and so many hands trying to get some of that money.

Great news. Now we can easily buy players.

This will likely be my last season of watching college football.

So the NCAA wants to have a solution to how you regulate greed in place by Jan of 2021. About a year to figure out what humanity hasn't been able to legislate in my lifetime and far beyond.
The NCAA will say no to anything that smacks of wealth as a recruiting tool. Where that leaves big business and agents and lawyers is anyone's guess.
14 months, better get busy.

If all the Tuscaloosa businesses aren't currently reaching out to 5* recruits and promising them deals, then they need to be shut down.
Alabama (Tuscaloosa businesses) winning these deals has the same odds as Western Carolina winning in Tuscaloosa the week before Thanksgiving. Bama has the passonate fan base but...Jalen Waddle would be at UTx or ATM if this had been in place two yrs ago. Najee is at Stanford or USC along with Tua and I wouldnt blame them. They would be making 6figures of this in those cities with their alumni basees

What amazes me is how naive and short sighted some folks can be about things like this.

Universities give these athletes a platform. Any money the students receive from this should be held in an escrow account by the university, and given to the athlete upon graduation.

What if we aren't being naive nor short-sighted and are instead ok with these "consequences"?

I just think things would work better that way. Most get paid when the job is done.
Also, why not spread the money evenly among the entire team? Afterall, it's a team sport. RBs can't do anything w/out a line blocking. WRs can't catch a pass w/out someone delivering the ball.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but I also think it can open up schools to be more competitive. Joe 5* may be more open to less competitive programs if deep pocket alums are willing to feature them as the face of the program. In other words, kids can be induced to sign with some wanna-be team if the boosters make it worth their while and make them the star and face of the program.
I.E. Oregon has been terrible most of its history but what if Phil Knight opens up the checkbook to feature Oregon players? Suddenly kids don't want to play for legendary Nick Saban they want to get paid by Phil Knight.

But playing football isn't what they are getting paid for.

TIFWIW, just heard on the Mark Packer show, some congressman or NCAA official is going to propose legislation (if players want to get paid) that scholarships should count as income and taxes be paid on that as well. Just heard tale end of convo so sorry for not more details . To me , if there is not an across the board amount of money paid out , then I don’t see how anything can be policed fairly

There's almost zero chance that will pass.

That's correct. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that any amount of money needs to be regulated until any particular football accomplishment has been achieved. Which is why we are now looking at Addidas on steroids.

I get that, but should the the student receive money if they bring embarrassment to the university? What if he's caught breaking the law, or fails a drug test? Should the university withhold the money at a rate equal to the PR damage it costs the University?

Also, should the student continue to get free room and board?
