I don't care what they're paid. I just want structure and boundaries for everyone to follow just like every other sports league in the world. I don't want the wild west like what we have. You want to be paid to play. Fine, sign a contract and be forced to play under that contract for however many years. Coaches have to and if they want out, they pay an exit fee. Players in pro leagues are under contract. They don't get to "take their talents elsewhere" whenever they feel like it. I also think it would be hilarious and a wakeup call if college players could be traded. Could you imagine signing to play football at UGA and then being shipped off to Akron on a whim because they had a strong safety they wanted?
Sounds good, comrade

quote:comrade? If we're going to treat them like pro athletes, why not actually treat them like pro athletes and structure college athletics like pro sports leagues? It's like calling a spade a spade is a 4 letter word to people who think we're dealing with amateur student athletes. Because they certainly aren't anymore. Just let the schools pay athletes directly as employees of the school instead of dealing with the complexities and ridiculousness of NIL, collectives, and transfer portals. If the market says a college player is worth $10 million dollars, that's fine. Just sign them to a 4 year employment contract for 10 million dollars. Contract employment exists in all areas of business, including sports and entertainment.

Does wanting some semblance of parity in sports make someone a commie in "real life"? Just seems like an off base comparison. If you believe in democracy, does that mean that your kids have an equal say to you in your household? Obviously not.
