Yep much better to pay them and let their agent negotiate. |

No - the superstars are already playing pro, like Paredes and Nyeman. |

Look the cost of a scholarship is really nothing to Universities and colleges. Do not believe the p&l from these institutions. They inflate cost and hide revenues. They have sports programs because it make business or marketing sense. I remember Duke before basketball success. It was a sleepy southern finishing school.
The places that make money off the money sports will break off from the NCAA(think SEC, etc). Why share or be under their rules? |

Correct. A separate entity that is affiliated with but not part of the university and leases the stadium, shares ticket and t.v. revenue with “the host” etc. it will be for men’s b-ball and football only. Maybe (maybe) they’ll be a requirement by that entity that you must be enrolled in pursuing a degree at the affiliated school. Maybe. |

True. Double whammy. Probably all for the best. Kids that are really good (like baseball) should go to the minor leagues. I think all athletic scholarships should all be eliminated. If the sport earns revenue, then it is a business and if your are on the team you’re an employee and must be paid minimum wage at least. The better you are the more you’ll get paid within budget constraints. The big money sports can pay the big money athletes lots of dough. Soccer, not so much. Colleges can continue to have club teams that are amateur and unaffiliated with NCAA or revenue generation. If you’re good enough or close to go pro, suggest the minor leagues not college. Except b-ball and football where college system is the minor league. Then it’s pay the players as employees. |
This case was about additional educational benefits. I’d expect rich programs to drastically increase stipends and paid internships |
Sounds like a massive risk that they lose the title IX suit and owe enormous damages |
No it’s does not. |
