Death of the FunBelt conference

Just like I said yesterday in the California "bill" thread, this is essentially trying to pass a bill for a law that ALREADY exists. It is not illegal to pay college athletes. It is against NCAA rules. No matter how many bills you pass, you aren't changing anything. The NCAA will govern how it's going to govern. Schools are free to leave the NCAA at any time and pay their players. They simply will no longer be able to compete for championships, and they'll be paying their players out of their own pockets.
Good luck with that, considering fans won't care about your teams if they aren't eligible to play for championships.

EXACTLY, it's akin to the marijuana laws in Colorado and select other states...it's legal just not allowed within certain organizations (NFL, NCAA, most jobs). No matter how much Moscona applauds these silly bills they will change nothing!

The NCAA works for the conferences, not the other way around. Which is why their enforcement/policing of infractions is such a joke. I doubt they wanna fire some of their bosses (the Pac12). Plus FL and SC are currently making similar policies.
This isn’t going to go away. The NCAA doesn’t have nearly as much power as some people think.

The California law regulates schools, not just athletes. It essentially tells the universities that they cannot enforce a certain NCAA rule.

don't like this at all. No one forcing them to play college

The conferences don't want to pay their players, because they know how impractical it is. No matter how "unfair" some people think it is, it's just not very feasible to pay these athletes. Not necessarily because they don't have the money, but because it would open up so many cans of worms. There are already under the table bidding wars. If the NCAA allows for payments, it'll get ugly. Players will start treating it like a business and try to negotiate more money based on what they think their value is to the university.
So just because some states want to force payments, doesn't mean the conferences want it.

The meth head of the east is emulating the meth head of the west? NAWWWWWWW
I say good. Now all schools in Cal and FLA will be ineligible and have to forfeit any wins that paid players played in. Tennessee might have a chance now.

But, again, schools already CAN pay their players if they really want to. But they'd be violating NCAA rules. And for a state to FORCE it's schools to pay it's players, they are forcing them to make themselves ineligible to compete for championships, which would utterly destroy those schools. How do you pay athletes if your revenue dries up after your school is essentially forced to withdraw from the NCAA? Unless a new governing body is established and the entire country leaves the NCAA, this is suicide for any state that tries to enforce this.

Maybe the states will clip the wings of the NCdoublea$$holes.

And all the bling bling players making the big bucks will learn how to walk the pimp walk. Don't forget the gold chains and pimp walking stick.

quote:This is correct, UCLA, USC and others can't follow the NCAA rule without breaking a California law. I pretty sure funding for the schools comes from the state, but not sure it matters legally. NCAA has 3 years to implement their "fair and level playing field" but the longer they drag their feet the more laws are going to pass that they'll have to conform to.

This is correct, so thats why I don't think this will fly. If the conferences wanted it, it would be done already.
The schools in these states will be begging the state to reverse this once it starts affecting recruiting because no one wants to play in a state that will cause them to be ineligible for post season.

Dont see them doing it, they will tell those states with the laws they are ineligible then the universities will be screaming for reversal from their states.

Nike will purchase all 5 stars for Oregon. Rich will get richer, poor will get poorer. Cali and other states will be able to tax these dollars that were under the table before

I dont know about Oregon, I do agree the divide will be much greater.
Honestly I think LSU would do on for itself in the bidding wars.
There will be even less competitive games and way more blowout cupcake games

Agents, high-profile athletes and pick politicians are coordinating this strategically behind the scenes in Hollywood-style scripting. Simple minds will say "naaaahhh, come on man", and that is the exact reason why they will be successful.
Collusion! Bwahaha

You would think they have better things to deal with. It will never happen because the NCAA is to broad and most schools could not even begin to handle this! Agents and lawsuits! no way!
