The CSC is going to lose.
Guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this considering Minnesota is near the bottom of the Big Ten + P4 in NIL. Still sad that the regular student population will get fleeced in the process of attempting to make the Gophers competitive.
I know it would be crushing for us but F it the fees stuff needs to come to a head.
It’s one thing using fees to help sponsor and operate athletics, it’s something totally different to use them to make a professional sports model work.
When we fought and got that fee increase allowed to start football this is not the model we fought for nor was it the model students voted for.
NIL not NLI definitely has sarcasm down to an art form.
The Order requires the preservation and, where possible, expansion of opportunities for scholarships and collegiate athletic competition in women’s and non-revenue sports.
The Order prohibits third-party, pay-for-play payments to collegiate athletes. This does not apply to legitimate, fair-market-value compensation that a third party provides to an athlete, such as for a brand endorsement.
The Order provides that any revenue-sharing permitted between universities and collegiate athletes should be implemented in a manner that protects women’s and non-revenue sports.
The Order directs the Secretary of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board to clarify the status of student-athletes in order to preserve non-revenue sports and the irreplaceable educational and developmental opportunities that college sports provide.
I might agree with a couple of these, but besides being too late to put the lid back on, these orders are mostly not legally binding. Especially that one about pay for play.
