Honest question. What would stop HS athletes getting paid?

They should be able to enter the NFL(or NBA) draft out of HS.
The NCAA doesn't prevent this...the NFL does.
The NFL should be able to do whatever it and it's players association thinks is in its best interest...and they do.

Allow boosters to put money into an allotment that pays for student athletes stipends instead.
This would have to be the same at every school, for every athlete. Otherwise it will be "our stipend is bigger than their stipend, come to our school"

Exactly, the players are getting paid. Free education is worth a lot to most people.

Of course

Forget a 100 dollar handshake, what stops an all out bidding war by boosters for star recruits?
I'll answer this in two parts:
Disclosure. If you say that athletes on scholarship must disclose all income, then any non-disclosed income becomes a violation. As long as payments aren't directed by the school, then I really don't care.
Secondly.... how is this different from now? The horror of the richest schools getting all off the best talent while the poor schools get shut out is the system we currently have. Your nightmare scenario exists. It's not so bad.

Did you read the article? He accounted for inflation. Even with inflation thrown into the equation, Bob Stoops is making 31 times as much money as Bud Wilkinson did in 1950.
And, adjusted for inflation, college tuition has probably went up nearly just as much if not more.

not true. It could be much, much worse.

Then screw it. Let's do that. I know Bama can hang with the big dogs for payment.

Exactly and as such they cant pay the players without losing that status
non-profits don't have employees? That's the argument you're going with? People work for non-profits all the time. They get paid, too.

taxes bro.
Yes, they will have to pay them on income. Hence a disclosure requirement. Yes, employees have to pay taxes. If that were a real objection, why doesn't McDonald's use slave labor?

Not until a cabal of Stanford alums developed a win at all costs mentality. Then it's on!

I meant if we did away with amateur status requirement for college.

That is not the same, nor the argument being made. Keep playing dumb though

Some of these smaller schools' budgets are made by going to a larger school, taking an arse-whipping, and collecting a huge check. They don't have $2 million standing by to pay athletes. If they are forced to give up sports because of this,
big jump there. I already addressed this objection. Create a new division for big football schools. The other schools, now FCS, would still offer scholarships but no stipend. So, they would not be forced to give up sports. they just wouldn't be part of FBS.
Just as D-1 has scholarship sports and D-3 doesn't. The existence of athletic scholarships has no impact on the existence of sports on a D-3 level, without scholarships.

Yes and its the NFL's shitty rule that is the problem

Who is it a problem for? It's not a problem for the NFL.
Posted on 9/25/13 at 4:01 pm to More beer please
Yes, it is the argument being made. Athletes are employees. They get paid. That has literally no bearing on a program's non-profit status. They could pay players and still be non-profits. Just as a school can pay student workers in other capacities and maintain non-profit status.

Would that not cripple the schools left out of the big division?
