The NCAA has just opened up another tray of Pandora's Box.

OK, so now the schools can pay athletes directly.
1) Who do you pay?
2) Will there be some salary cap on payments, so that all schools have an equal chance at those players whose prime motivation is money?
3) Do you pay starters one salary, scrubs a lower one, and for sure, this is the end of walk-ons. Unless...
What if, now that players are employees, they have to pay their own way through school? Why should the Universities pay their way, and then pay them a salary on top of that? The cost of their education should come out of their salaries, the way I see it.
If there is not some sort of limit put on it, the BIG and SEC will soon own ALL the first class athletes. It just makes sense. If I think I am good enough to play in the NFL, I am going to go to the highest paid minor league team, which is where college football will be now.
Here is some more food for thought. When players leave college, they are not free to just sign with any NFL team. Unless they are not drafted, they have to sign with the team that drafted them, or they don't play. Who is to say that, now that colleges are paid farm systems for the NFL, that that same system is not put in place for high school and Portal Players? Schools would have a draft order, and could only pick players via that draft, until all rounds of it were over. Then, the "Have Not" schools would get to choose from the dregs left over. It could happen.

I’m not even going to worry about it - I’m just going to enjoy the games. If it’s a poor product I just won’t watch. I’ll do something else.

This is where being a South Carolina fan would have it's advantages.

They've always had a poor product so it won't bother them at all.

Salary plus benefits.

All of us have jobs, or had them, with salary plus benefits plus requirements.
Here is your job.
Here are the requirements to keep your job.
Here is your salary.
Here are your benefits. (Will room, board, tuition, books, tutors, etc. be a part of those benefits? Will a bonus for graduating be a part of those benefits? Will academics be totally optional?)
All of this will somehow, someway be negotiated. Probably by colleges setting up a new governing body (outside of the NCAA) with one central office (a commissioner) to collectively bargain with the athletes (who will be in a union).
It'll take a few years.

Good point on the academics. Are they now employees rather than students?***

Not sure you realize they had no choice based on the antitrust lawsuit. There was no good option available, so they did what they had to do.

As disgusting as the NCAA is, they did not have a choice.

Freemarket.
It's just that simple. Sure, you don't offer education with the "salary" and another school does, what then?
Capitalism baby, got to love it!
Let the market sort it all out, sure worked for internet (cable), healthcare, Google, Amazon, and Ticketmaster.

So what is the need now for the NCCA and paying those clowns millions in salaries? Shut down the whole Indianapolis office.

1 and 3 will be up to the school to decide how to manage your answer to #2. Yes there is a cap and the cap is $20 million a year. If I am reading the different articles correctly.

I know the “everything must stay the same” crowd won’t agree with me, but I would welcome a draft in college football. I think it’s overall the better more exciting way to acquire talent in the two models. That’s just my personal opinion. It also puts the schools on a more even playing ground.
As problems arise with the changes the higher ups are doing to look to the road already paved. That road is the wealthiest sports leagues in the world. There is a reason the NFL is structured the way it is and it works. I’m not saying I like that idea but it’s human nature to use what works.

The only way that works is to completely disconnect college football from college. Can you imagine being a kid from SC and be told that the ONLY place you can go play football is UConn because they won you in the draft. The only way you can get a college education is to suffer through playing football at UConn.
Most of the people on here forget that 95% or more college players never play another snap after college football is done. So the FACT is that for 95% of these kids getting a full scholarship and a degree from the college of their choice is what they get out of playing college fooball.

As always, it is called The Law of Unintended Consequences. Or, in modern

terms, you can say that no matter what happens, some shark out there will twist the original intent to suit their purposes, their purposes being, make more money for themselves. Look no further than NIL for proof of just how warped something can become from its original intent.

Lots of negatives for sure. But pay might actually fix one thing. With pay come contracts and a properly written contract can get a kid by the balls and they are not going anywhere, not even to the NFL until the contract is up.

Which is why this road only leads to a players union. I’m all for it though. The players union is the only reason the NFL can put the stipulations they do into play.
