If I was a student or a parent paying then I would ask why are they not using that new money to reduce student fees.
Agreed that it would not be possible to sustain the department at this level without the fees.
I wonder how long before the first student fee related lawsuit happens? I suppose it canāt happen until students have been charged a fee that then goes to players so sometime next academic year (Iām speaking in general terms not just the Ninerās).
Anyone else having qualms about this??
Cause I am seriously qualming.
I think all of your questions are legit. It is only a matter of time until someone challenges this house of cards legally.
I have a HUGE qualm with all of this.
Paying NIL while charging students fees is so dirty.
I do agree though IF we are going to pay them it should be from a revenue that wouldnāt exist without those players.
clt says pillars are going to fall
clt says college athletics are dead. it is now a pro league with no salary cap, no player contracts, and a terribly unequal playing field.
Surprised this has taken so long. That settlement was a bogus large portion burden shift from the programs that benefitted to the ones that didnāt. Anyone pretending otherwise is full of it.
There isnt an entity that is looking out for the health of the game. No one.
At best its conference first but really just individual schools looking out for themselves.
From what Iāve been reading, even though a number of player contracts do explicitly call for some level of reimbursement if an athlete transfers, there really isnāt any enforcement mechanism other than going to court. IIRC, Wisconsin recently took issue with a player who ājumped shipā but so far hasnāt gone beyond just publicly complaining about it.
Some sort of NIL enforcement with āteethā is supposed to be a part of the House settlement - which could be ratified as early as next week - but that too is not completely certain. Everybody is OK with punishment until it happens to them!
Itās needs to be a market driven transfer fee like in soccer, not just a contract buyout.
