Not the NCAA's fault that their hand was forced by politicians. You can say that the NCAA should have done something sooner and to a lesser extent, but government could still get involved and have the same outcome.


I think the point is the pols might not have gotten involved if you didn't have millionaire old white men telling 18-21 year old kids they can't get a job (against the rules) or have a formal form of payment beyond their scholarship.

If we're lucky and this thing settles at $50K per kid, that is likely way more $$ than what would've settled things a year or two ago.

Very much this. Show me any other student who is prevented from having a job during the summer to help make ends meet even though that student "has free tuition, food, boarding, etc."

Whether you agree with why they had the stance they did, the NCAA wasn't at fault for not compromising on it just because it led to government getting involved.
