NFL, NBA, MLB all have salary caps.
Those are private organizations that have decided to become union shops, and therefore have a collective bargaining agreement. This settlement is the first time U.S. history that such an agreement has simply been put into place for a collective of people, merely by the decision of a federal judge. And it's the first time that collective bargaining agreement has put into place that automaticaly includes those at federally funded instituions. There is no precedent for this. And if this stands as-is, then you can bet the big corporations will soon be scrambling to find a judge that will do the same for them - even in non-unionized industries, and just dispense with that 'union' nonsense altogether.
This would save them billions by being able to just have third party, that they themselves are paying, decide whatever pay scales makes them the most profits that year. We'll see....

My favorite part is how FCS has to chip in for FBS athletes.
Haha

bullshite. Ask James Gatto, Merl Code, and Christian Dawkins.
Just for clarity here, Code and Dawkins were convicted of fraud, not for doing - or paying someone to do, autographs or commercials, which is ofcourse completely legal. Gatto was convicted of bribery, again not anything to do with commercials or autographs.
What's very strange about these cases is that the accused were not allowed to call in exonerating witnesses (athletic directors and coaches from the schools involved). Without the ability to mount a proper defense, their legal strategy had no hope.

Now as an employee or contractor there is a paper trail required for many people in this food chain.
If there is a paper trail, then all taxes will be paid. Period. The only way to escape that certainty is death, or being rich enough to afford a tax lawyer to loophole your way out of perhaps some of it. Hell even in death, there might be an estate tax involved.
This House settlement is trying to skirt around a lot of state and federal laws, and even a couple of Constitutional amendments. But I haven't heard of it attempting to make any of the money that will be changing hands somehow federally non-taxable.

I don't know if this is the absolute solution, but it's a tool to be used in slowing down the money drops because after all it is about the money.
Those bagmen could make a thousand drops of a million dollars each, all in U.S. pennies if they like. If indeed those transactions are recorded and traceable, then as long as the IRS gets its cut, they could care less about the amounts or how often.

And yet those are "situations".

At this point im almost down for eliminating all scholarships and banning recruiting. Kids can get legit NIL deals if they have them. Have some rev-share to help athletes pay for tuition. Kids pick the school they wanna go play for and try out for the team. You get one transfer then your eligibility is done if you do it again

The settlement pays athletes backdated to 2016.
Any chance we can get that pushed back to the late 80’s?

It would rightly be called an anti-trust exemption, struck down, and voided.
Remember NIL? It's what started this whole thing.

Bad move. Our athletes were not "poor"
They need to be "hungry" again.
I had to pay 10 dining dollars (out of 300) just to eat one time the same great food Bama players ate all times of the day.

It's a giant clusterfrick that's driving me away from college sports.

It's the guardrails and stop signs that get you home safely at night. For the last 4 years, we have been throwing money at the players without conscience, and we better get some rules soon.

This makes no sense. Why are they even getting paid over and above what the scholarship provides for and the many perks for being on the team. This solves absolutely nothing. The college game is ruined.
You think football and basketball players didn’t get paid before NIL?

This so-called settlement won't stop anything b/c you can't stop someone from receiving NIL which is based on their likeness. Furthermore, Deloitte has no power to compel a party or athlete to provide a copy of their NIL contract. How will Deloitte even know about every NIL contract? And, to try to cap NIL contracts is going against capitalism and won't stand up in court. Furthermore, to try to force collective bargaining onto a business is flat-out illegal and that's what this settlement tries to do.
You thought we had litigation before just wait.
