I am AGAINST the new California Fair Pay to Play Act (long)


Oct 2, 2019, 9:17 AM

Proponents say "Player X is 'only' getting roughly $100,000 of value over 4 years (tuition, clothing, meals, stipend, top facilities and body care, fame, etc), while the college is making millions".

Why is the focus so narrowed down to specific players "only" getting so much (which is actually a lot)? Then say the college is getting "millions".

Seems to me that these athletes all think they are Lebron James or Tom Brady. News flash, they are not. There is only 10-20 players nationwide that normal people could name off the top of there head without being a die hard fan of a particular school.

Also, do they not realize the sum total impact that is necessary to keep this thing going? Just on the football team alone, if every scholarship athlete (85) gets $100,000, that equals $8.5 million! This does not include all the other costs associated with the football team such as coaches salaries (which I think are bloated, but its market value unfortunately), buses, planes, uniforms, equipment, band, stadium upkeep, salaries of misc staff, concessions, you name it.

Then multiply that by every other sport. Then the college awards regular students academic scholarships, there is thousands of staff and professors to pay.

I just don't think these colleges are making as much as they think they are making off their "sweat" and "backs" (similar to slavery).

If there is so much money in the pot, then why is every college $200 million in long term debt?

I understand the players argument, this is a way for players to potentially profit during this time. I get that and understand the struggle many families go through.

I don't like the out in the open bidding war it will create. College football will never be the same.

That is my two cents. I am sure there are other opinions on this...and things I am not considering.

Should endorsements be allowed for a player's likeness there will be regulations that would likely prevent a player selling a jersey for $1M.

Well if they made a cap on how much a player can make off of a jersey then boosters would just buy multiple jerseys to satisfy the player.

I think it breaks down to 2 groups....


Oct 2, 2019, 9:32 AM

Group A: A VERY limited set of star athletes whose names are used to additionally promote the school. There is something wrong about the availability of a Clemson official Jersey with TL's name and number on it and none of the proceeds for that shirt benefit TL. These also tend to be the players who get broadcast stories and interviews because the fans hunger for a story on the hero. Sure if they can get drafted this is a positive for them, but the school benefits from the additional coverage.

Group B: Every other athlete. These folks are the traditional true student athletes because they do their work behind the scenes for themselves and the University with little to no recognition.

If we want to keep Group A truly amateur there must be a concerted effort to eliminate discussions of individual players and remove their names from broadcast and forbid anyone from making money off of their likeness. Not sure if this is possible.

So it's a terribly difficult situation. Without defining what puts a player in Group A (needs to be paid) and Group B (still amateur) this is just going to turn into a mess and schools will simply hire professionals to make up a "Clemson Football Team"

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I think it breaks down to 2 groups....


Oct 2, 2019, 10:09 AM

An easy fix is to put away money earned for each athlete until graduation.

When the athlete graduates, then he or she can do what they want with the money in their individual account.

This can be done for every athlete even though we know the amounts will be very different for some than others.

The other idea is to allow each high school athlete to make a choice when they sign with a school.

Option A: Receive athletic scholarship and rules remain unchanged.

Option B: Choose to forgo the athletic scholarship to be able to earn money on your own. This means having to earn enough money to pay for: tuition, housing, food, medical, and everything else that is currently available for free to athletes.

There are still a few holes in that idea in terms of regulating that rogue booster, but I would guess athletes would have a hard time accepting the responsibility to count on themselves to earn everything like the professionals that they want to be.

In your group A, the law could say the schools cannot benefit financially and close that, no TL Jerseys for sale. Sucks for the fan who wants one but it protects the players right to his image. You could argue jerseys are walking billboards for that player as well... its all nuanced.

Fix the players ability to work a legit job or get compensated because they cannot work (athletic schedule is pretty much 24-7). It's preset simple, you could use local government per diem rates or the NCAA could establish the rates based on the cost of living per school.

Pretty sure the school just started a womans softball program on the backs of the football team success, facilities and growth on the backs of the football teams success, players benefit, school benefits... that will get destroyed if there is pay to play.

Hope the NCAA responds by kicking all the Cali schools out and no playoff games... buy-buy Rose Bowl and the death grip they have on the bowl season...

Every coach has the same earning potential. If they progress and choose to continue to move up in the ranks, then they can get what the elite coaches receive.

This is not true for players. The best offensive lineman in the country on any given year would be capped at hundreds of thousands if not a million dollars below the QB that he is allowed to sit back and toss TDs.

And that's only the beginning of the difference in how the players' values would not apply in the same way.

Re: I am AGAINST the new California Fair Pay to Play Act (long)


Oct 2, 2019, 9:38 AM

I put this on another thread earlier.
The players already get (I estimate) around $250000.00 to attend and play for Clemson for 4-5 years. Tuition, room and board, best food money can buy, healthcare, and probably the most expensive benefit... Television coverage to showcase their skills. That last one is totally priceless!!! They get to travel and see the world for free and get the best tutoring money can buy. This doesn't even include the facilities they get to take full advantage of.
As Dabo says, "They can't have it both ways."

But then people say that amount doesn't take care of everything else like cars, gas, dating, fun, etc.
The players are being given stipends already to help with some of that. How much is enough?
The question is not, "What do we do?"... It should be, "What should we do?"
If the parents can't afford to send their kids to college (even with everything being paid for), then they should simply not send them at all. That's the way life works. Better learn that now. This is not a Socialist country.

I agree that college athletics is a socialist system, and though it doesn't work out economically, I think it works better here. If we turn it into capitalism, I think we end up with oligopolies. Colleges will consolidate their money into revenue generating sports and a handful will dominate the industry.

Even the NFL, NBA, and MLB have rules to level the playing field. These rules work only moderately well and they only have around 30 programs for each. If you add more money into the NCAA system, I don't know you do it for 130 just for major college football programs, and basketball would be even worse.

What does that have to do with the current laws which allow the players to make money off of their own likeness? Why should they not be allowed to make a few hundred bucks signing autographs somewhere simply because they get to go to school for free? Not only does Dabo make a high salary at Clemson, but there's nothing stopping him from making money from outside sources as well to my knowledge. If Nike wants to pay Dabo 1 million to be in a television commercial then he can do so. Somehow though, it would be the end of the world if Lawrence got paid $500 to sign autographs for a few hours?

If those things are so valuable (i do think there is some great value there), then pay the coaches in the same manner. Nick Saban is getting an amazing free house to live in, why does he also have to get 10+ million dollars a year? Everyone here is using "cost" and "value" as synonyms, when they are not. You can look up what the tuition rates are for the average student and say "oh, that's the value of the scholarship", but it isn't costing the school what the "value" of the scholarship is. Basic economics here. You learned this in ECON 201 in Brackett Hall.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I am AGAINST the new California Fair Pay to Play Act (long)


Oct 2, 2019, 9:43 AM

I don't understand how saying there's only a certain number of athletes who have enough name value to earn money is an argument against the law. Let's say that a team has 10 players who have enough value to earn money from various things. Well then the other players end up not earning money, and nothing changes for those players compared to what it's like now. It doesn't cost the school anything, so why does it matter what the value of their education is?

I also don't buy into the thought that it would cause issues with the players who aren't making money. How is that different now from there being a handful of players each year that will end up being drafted, while several others never will? Or different from all the attention someone like Lawrence gets compared to everyone else on the team? Or for a player on the team that comes from a rich family compared to one whose family is currently in poverty?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I’m with you. The argument against paying college players is


Oct 2, 2019, 12:26 PM

Easily accomplished through looking at the economics. The only reason to bring up the value of their college tuition, room, board, training, etc is in response to people who claim that they do this for “nothing”, which is clearly not true, or the news would stop boring me about a student debt “crisis.”

All anyone needs to look at is the fact that no FBS is begging for someone to take their scholarship. As a matter of fact, there are tens of thousands of kids who would love to have gotten that scholarship but were turned away. As a matter of fact, Clemson played 111 kids against Charlotte, which means AT LEAST 26 kids say “that’s okay that you aren’t giving me a benefit to be on your team...I still want to be here.” If anything, given that market signal, Universities are giving players too much.

It would be easier to just make it against NCAA rules for schools to use the "likeness" of an athlete to make money. If a gaming company or advertiser wants to use the "likeness" of a specific player, he or she cannot collect on it until they turn professional, graduate, or drop out of school.
There are a million things the NCAA does not allow already. Simply make this one of them.

Unfortunately, I think it's too late for the NCAA to try and go with something like this now. With it already being passed in California that(starting in 2023) players can make money off of these things NOW, it's highly unlikely to get people on board with waiting to collect the money a few years later. I'm not sure how many states will actually pass the law, but several more have already started the process, and I'd be shocked if several more don't end up passing it as well. The NCAA may have been able to pass something similar to what you're saying before all of this, but they waited too long IMO.

You're trying to say the school provides their ability to have a likeness unlike the smaller schools. Well a player for Gardner Webb would never play at Clemson because they aren't good enough to play there. Clemson needs Trevor Lawrence just as much if not more than Trevor needs Clemson. Both sides benefit in this equation, its a partnership. Clemson doesn't "own" Trevor or his likeness.

How valuable is the likeness of a walk on player at Clemson? If it’s all Clemson then shouldn’t the value be pretty much the same for all our players? With that logic, what would the value of an NFL players likeness be if they never got drafted? Why pay a salary to the NFL players at all then?

How valuable would Dabo Swinney be had Clemson not given him a chance? That doesn’t seem to stop Clemson from paying him nearly 10 million per year.

Obviously the schools add value to the players, but I fail to see why that means the player can’t profit off of their own name.

College baseball is thriving despite minor leagues. Go make 100k a year and have 4 people in the stands. The pageantry of CFB won't go anywhere.

NCAA is making squillions...time to give the $$ back to the players who got them there. That's my opinion.

Players? Schools don't matter, Administrations don't matter, Coaches don't matter, trainers don't matter, Tutors don't matter, teachers don't matter, Fans don't matter? Only the players Hugh...

It's a bad idea that invites massive corruption... and it will all be outside the NCAA or the Schools ability to control... bad, bad, bad...
