If they're good enough to gain endorsement deals while in school, I'm okay with that. Paying them ON TOP of a scholarship is absolutely ridiculous. If they have a salary, they can pay their own way through school.

This could mean the end of ALL college sports as we know it. I'm not opposed to kids receiving compensation. However, the ramifications could be very significant.

Does this mean the end to elite athletes getting free schooling? If their likeness is used and they get paid then no free schooling. Pay your own way. I agree with some. It is the end of college sports. Do you honestly like what has happened to the NFL?

When they decided to pay football coaches what they were worth, started bidding against each other for the top ones. and paying 3 million dollars and higher for coaches, and neglected the players that was the beginning of the end.

There other issues to look at with LSU outside just how much revenue the AD makes. We're actually rather poor when it comes to donations compared to other schools just in the SEC. It doesn't have a strong alumni support and I'd argue TAF is getting less donations now than before, especially with the political movement.

If given an option of selling their services to the highest bidder, I bet quite a few players would be more than happy to do that and pay their tuition.

Yep. This totally kills the sport.

Just let the top 1,000 players join a minor league that no one would watch and all other athletes can just be happy to play for their universities and receive a free education. I promise I won’t watch any less. These football and basketball players make less than the value of the services they provide, but many of them conflate how much people want to watch them with how much people just want to watch their team. It’s the reason we watch LSU baseball when we all know some of the minor league players are better.

he ruling doesn’t stop the NCAA from adding a limit to payments, just that they can’t stop payments at all
Edit: I wrote this very poorly basically what I’m trying to say is that the court rules that the NCAA can allow payments, not that it requires payments. Conversely, if allowed, the NCAA can also potentially limit payments to some degree. Now that could end up being a different court argument in the potentially near future.
Not really, the case in point had to do with educational benefits. However, anyone with two brain cells knows that if imposing limits on educational benefits is anti-trust, trying to stop direct compensation of any kind is surely anti-trust.
The NCAA as it was yesterday is now gone. They already knew that in January though.
What will probably happen now is chaos and collapse.

Maybe when the man who is the ‘richest of the rich’ says something shouldn’t happen because it’ll benefit the rich, college football should listen. Happened with transfers, not officiating OL down field, soon to be NIL, and countless other changes during his dynasty.

I will never complain about paying players neither should any professed LSU fan.
We are a top 5 elite athletic department. We can pay with the best. If I were Nebraska or South Carolina or NC State maybe then I'd be worried
But they do get paid.
And burrow is worth more than say a finley who is transferring, so how do you reconcile that?
Speaking of transfers. Going to be fun when we drop 10s of thousands on a player that just up and goes to another sec school because they are homesick or arent getting enough pt.

Rules (and enforcement) governing strong arse offers are more or less off the table at this point. This didn't really happen today though... it happened when the Justice Department (Anti-trust Division) sent the NCAA a letter way back in January.
The NCAA is basically toast, which means the large money college sports are toast.

Correct. The ultimate irony is that in their greedy rush to get more money, one generation of players will destroy the ultimate source of that same money: fan interest in college football. Very few will invest their identities and passions and time and energies in college football when the sport becomes an overt bidding war between a limited number of rich institutions catering to mercenary primadonnas. No one wants to watch a de facto, generic minor league system stripped of pageantry and tradition and the appearance (even if it is illusory) of player loyalty. And when the fan interest wanes, so will the revenues, and the TV contracts, and million dollar coaching contracts, and all the rich glamor. Those who celebrate these rulings are largely misguided social justice devotees who don't grasp the larger picture. It was never the players who generated the revenues. It was always the fans and their emotional attachment to the game and its unique rituals.

I have not read any of the posts in this thread, but SEC is fricked. You know how much the Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and the other Ivies have in their endowments that dwarf any SEC school’s? It's gonna be a whole new ball game my friends. It's gonna start with paying the best coaches, to recruit the best players money can buy. Drop in the bucket for the Ivy League schools, the Stanfords, the Notre Dames, heck even Tulane.

Although the ruling is specific to "educational benefits", at the heart of the matter is compensation.
As a side note, the Ivy League generally doesn't give out athletic scholarships.
What you are witnessing is the end of compensation restrictions as they existed.
