The NCAA and the schools need to get off off their duffs and start thinking of a way to share the massive revenues with the players in some way that also preserves some semblance of amateurism. There’s just too much money, and the inequities are too plain. The world will change it from without if the sport doesn’t change from within.

What's changed from now and 50 years ago? Just because CFB makes massive amounts of money, now suddenly people want a cut? What if it wasn't making millions? Would it still be wrong? Or are people just seeing dollar signs? The athletes are profiting just as much from the school's brand as the school's are from them. They are also getting free on the job training for the NFL. Plus underrecruited guys like Josh Jacobs are getting big platforms to play in front of millions and parlay that into a starting spot on an NFL roster.
Yes, in the short term the NCAA could rule the California schools who have players who participate in this as ineligible and each week their games will go down as an L in the record books. Could recruits flock to money? Sure. Do they want to be on tv more and play on a bigger stage? Yes.
Long term, the NCAA will wrap this up in courts for years. Congress will get involved and the NCAA and schools have more pull in Washington.

What would have them do? ALL revenues have to be shared equally because of Title IX.
So someone who participatea in a sport that looses money should get even more money thrown their way?

I’m no expert, and I don’t doubt there are many issues to be addressed. And I love CFB. I feel like I’m just stating a truth, though. The sport better change, or change will be forced on it.
And to answer the prior guy’s post. Yes, billions of dollars will change just about anything, especially an allegedly amateur sport.

Then let's just say what's going to happen. Boosters are going to offer recruits "endorsement deals." Then it's off to the races. Go to the highest bidder.
This in no way will reflect "players profiting off their likenesses." And it's very polyanna-ish to think it will.
If that's what people want it to be, then whatever. But it WILL be that.
5 stars - 3 year/$500k contract + $100k signing bonus
4 stars - 4 year/$250k contract + $50k signing bonus
Will be the going rate.
There will be schools even within the P5 that will shut down football. Very few schools actually operate in the black.

The vast majority of athletic departments lose money and multiple schools will be forced to give up CFB because they can't afford the expenditures

Where is the law that made it illegal for college athletes to profit off their name and likeness?
Every single athlete in college football can go an make a profit tomorrow off their image and likeness. They just won't be able to play football on Saturday.

Right. Laws can't force the NCAA to change their record book.
How many kids want to go out every Saturday knowing their game doesn't matter?
Maybe a check is more important to them.

I know it seems impossible, but it’s not. If will explain my reasoning another day when I’m not tired. I promise.

The NCAA is the key thing on this issue. If they make a stand, it will not grow any farther. Its all up to them to make a stand and disqualify the Cali schools that participate in this money grab.
Im sorry but college athletes should not be paid in any way other than what they get now. There is no way to control payments and it would only lead to more separation.

Florid about to get a major leg up in recruiting. Corch Mullens is thankful.
I've already heard rumblings of players in Florida getting ready to go on strike for more money as soon as the law is implemented.
They are also in the early stages of unionizing. Some complaints are that even though an 8 hour work day is pretty standard for employees in the United States, they only want to practice for 30 minutes a day, 2 times a week.

I'm fine with this so long as UAB is one of those schools.

No, the Supreme Court is the key thing on this issue. These players are all adults and have a constitutional right to make money off of themselves. The NCAA is a public institution as are the vast majority of the universities that make up the NCAA. If this goes to court, the NCAA will lose.

Alabama may not get to grab the best of the best recruits any more if Florida and California and some other States.

Does anyone else find this comical and ironic in the midst of what’s transpiring still in college basketball

Not sure how many times I'm gonna have to remind y'all SC introduced this bill within days of Cali doing it. So that's 3 states now.

That is incorrect. The NCAA is the governing body just like the olympics. They decide the rules. If you dont play by their rules, then you cant play.
