A check from appearances that would normally be occurring anyway (TV ads, promos, etc), or a check from the local Dodge dealer running ads with TL in them saying in a deep monotone "Take it from Trevor Lawrence, the new Hellcat is bad to the bone!"
If A and not B, how do you enforce?

One involves zero deviation from their normal routine.
The other involves them taking on additional work and distractions from their two primary foci, athletics and academics.

That's a good point..as a fan of the team, maybe I wouldn't want to see it, if it seems to affect performance. But at least the player should have the choice, just like I had the choice when I was in school to get a job that potentially could affect my academic performance.

I'm coming from a different angle in your case.
Sep 30, 2019, 12:41 PM
|

Most athletic scholarships prohibit the athletes from taking on additional jobs.
In your case, your academic scholarship didn't. Rather than saying "that's how athletic scholarships should be", I'd flip it and say I'd have no problem if USC had made that stipulation part of your academic scholarship, since they were footing the bill for your education.

Sep 30, 2019, 1:49 PM

to pay players to come to the schools. (Against the rules, I mean, not "illegal" in terms of criminal statute.)
This law is talking mainly about companies paying players to use them on advertisements. If schools and boosters are using that to recruit players, it will be apparent, and you could enforce the rule better. That's what I was saying.

It will affect every aspect of the sport. Recruiting especially. Most kids will follow the money, eventually forcing every state to cave and allow this. Ticket prices for fans will go up. Sad.

Why do you think schools are spending millions and millions on facilities? To recruit players! Not because the players need the 3-acre weight room with 4K TVs all over the place for their safety and well-being.

their likeness is on tickets, programs, banners, etc
They are amateur athletes just like college players. That will be next. Lawsuits for high school kids to get paid.
And once you get paid you are no longer considered an amateur, so do the players under this new law have to pay for their own insurance, health care, etc? They no longer have to be covered under a school policy if they are being paid.

not on tickets, etc. That sounds like the schools giving the money, which is not what this thread is about.
But, if some company wants to put a high school player in a commercial, how can I argue that's any different from some random child actor, who gets paid? I personally think a company would be pretty dumb to do that, but it's their money.

Someone owns an apartment complex in town. A star athlete and his family from another town over gets free rent in this complex to come play for that town's high school team. They use the kid on their commercial. Are you ok with this?
BAsically his "pay" for the "endorsement" is free rent for his family.

"gets free rent in this complex to come play for that town's high school team. " This is against the rules, and would remain so.
This is not about paying players to play for a team. This is about a player being able to choose to use his image to make money, if his image is marketable.

compensation comes in many forms other than cash. This will open doors for all kinds of people to take advantage of young kids that want/need money and will be awful for the game. Just my opinion, obviously so it's not worth much.
Not trying to argue, just trying to have a conversation about it. Good day!

rule about players not being able to work exists because it was an easy way for boosters to pay players. (The $1000/week job to turn on the automatic sprinklers.)
In California, it's now OK to pay a UCLA player to appear in an ad for your business. What's to stop a booster from paying $1 million to a kid for the ad? The booster doesn't want the kids likeness - he just wants the kid to play at his school.
Maybe, as you say - they deserve to be paid - but it will definitely completely change college sports...

Big City teams like UCLA will love this when it happens. Just think how many more endorsement opportunities there will be for a player or players in LA compared to Clemson SC.

I suppose the NCAA could say "Sure, go ahead and take the

money" and at the same time say "Your school is no longer eligible to compete in OUR sanctioned events". So players at UCLA, Stanford, Cal, USC would pad their bank accounts by playing schools like Occidnetal, UC Santa Barbara, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, or California Lutheran, and their highlights would be viewed by tens of people on YouTube every week.

Once this law becomes active, players will pay for their OWN cocaine and prostitutes.
Fair is fair.

Won't be long now before the tax-exempt status of college

sports gets revoked...
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/sunday-review/college-sports-tax-dodge.html
"The tax-exempt nature of college sports is not the cause of these problems. Rather, it is rocket fuel for an engine that has escaped the gravitational pull of common sense and decency.
To understand how this is possible, consider the balance sheet of the Atlantic Coast Conference, home of the 2017 national champions in football, Clemson, and men’s basketball, North Carolina. Its corporate sponsors include Toyota, Gatorade and Geico. When the conference filed its annual tax return for 2015, it reported about a quarter-billion dollars from broadcasting games for its member universities, as well as $147 million in other sports-related revenue. Its commissioner earned $2.9 million. The A.C.C. was a huge commercial success with income that would normally generate a huge tax bill.
But no taxes were owed. As the conference explained in its filing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Atlantic Coast and its member schools are nonprofit charitable organizations that place an emphasis on “academic excellence.”
“The Atlantic Coast Conference,” it said, “seeks to maximize the educational and athletic opportunities of its student-athletes, while enriching their quality of life.”"

criticize them. Not that i care. But their tax bill is small because they distribute most revenue to the owners/teams. Those are the entities that pay the taxes. The ACC will not be paying taxes on a quarter billion dollars revenue. They will distribute that money. And god knows the schools dont pay taxes on it.
