Well you brought up the real world example of what an employee would feel…

So how should a business feel when they are loosing 100s of thousands on an employee?

You want to do real world then 99% of college athletes get zero scholarships, pay their own way everywhere, while a select few get paid a shite ton

That would be the “real world example”

I don’t give a shite if they get paid, but the NCAA is a private establishment. They should have been allowed to set their own rules on what is required of their member. The ncaa was not given “free choice”

The ncaa should be allowed to make their rules and the athlete should be feee to go elsewhere. Thats actually “free choice”

Who do you have beef with in the situation? It’s unclear

The actually ruling where the NCAA is being forced, against their free choice, of the rules they set for their members



The ncaa should be able to have their rules, and if the players want to get paid or the schools don’t like the rules they go elsewhere. That’s free choice

Film, weights, class, study hall, and practice. Did I miss the grueling schedule?

I know exactly what goes into it. It is 100x better than any “job” out there, since you all love to throw the word around. Nothing like getting an all expense paid plus a salary for playing a game.

Holy shite, you think just because athletes have a more enjoyable job than you, that they shouldn't be paid. It's incredible.

The system is what triggers most people but they do not know how to communicate it.

Legitimate question, do y'all believe that players should not be able to profit off of themselves just because they play sports?

I beleive players should be able to but I also beleive an organization should be able to not allow it if they choose as well

Imo people are just being stubborn and hate the change of the game. They dig in their heels and try to debate as much as they can but that’s the simple truth.

I feel like it’s the talking idiot heads on ESPN that spoke all this NIL shite into existence and teams leaving conferences. Why was a good thing ruined or needed to be changed?

---

With the utmost sincerity I ask if you realize ESPN did not start this? It was the United States Supreme Court who ruled against the NCAA in their efforts to limit education-related compensation for student-athletes. The USSC said the NCAA violated antitrust laws.

Of course there is value in it.

Then I hope you agree that your original statement on page 1 doesn't really make sense.

I'm not arguing whether they should or shouldn't be able to make NIL money. I'm arguing that your comparison to a regular profession is not a good comparison.

Athletes should be able to make money off of their likeness. NIL in theory is fine. Pay for pay makes it pro sports.

Why stop at college athletes? In Texas, a state championship football game can draw 40,000. Where’s the money for those players? Again, some people go to the game JUST because their kid is in the band or cheerleading. Give those kids money.

Are we going to give some 12 year old gymnast money because tickets were sold for $3 at her gymnastics meet?

After all, it’s capitalism.
