I thought the purpose of an athletic scholarship was so that young men (and women) could get a good education at a great university. So with one ruling these dead-beat SCOTUS Justices just turned collegiate athletics into semi-pro pay-for-play feeder programs for the NFL.
Okay, so where do I see this played out in the reduction of my taxes. I don't want to subsidize athletic scholarships for semi-pro "collegiate" athletes.
The irony of it all. The SCOTUS Justices refused to hear cases in which the Secretary of State of a number of swing states refused to follow the election laws laid down by their own legislature. Resulting in cheat-by-mail, ballot harvesting, and ballot dumps at 4:00 am in the morning. But the whissy-washy SCOTUS Judges have no qualms when it comes to sticking their nose in NCAA Sports.
What a fricking mess.

I am okay with an allowance of some kind for poor students athletes
but paying them?
the get coached, they get trained, they get on TV with LSU brand to make a name for themselves
the top players get paid bigly...after college
that's how this works
now the coaches have to deal with fairness which will create problems we don't need

That’s all good but you can’t have it both ways. When money goes to players (not saying it should or should not) it doesn’t go to facilities and other large expenditure projects. The cut or portion players are paid is at the expense of all other sports and projects.
I don’t see how current programs and budgets survive if player payments become the norm.

Sounds like this is going to have a pretty big effect on college baseball.

No SEC school is hurting for money.Looking at the top 100 revenue chart from 2019...Missouri #37 with 106 million,Ole Miss was #34 with 108,Miss State #30 with 112,and Arkansas #20 with 137.
Now these schools are not LSU a school in the top 10 in revenue with 157 but that's a ton of money those schools brought in.

Everything is political NOW because you Biden people turned everything political. By the way, I still don't want to subsidize athletic scholarships or College Athletic Programs for semi-pro collegiate athletes. There I said it again.
Hail to the real chief: DONALD J. TRUMP.
Now reflect on this.....
Stolen elections have consequences.

The court had to step in.
An amateur organization, turned into a multimillion dollar business decades ago, but refused to pay their labor.

Columbia University (NY) $10,950,738,000 3
LSU $546.02 million This is why LSU is fricked under this new scheme of athletic operations. More NCAA restrictions will fall given the precedent set by this case. Those rankings are of the college’s prestige and standing in academics. My two daughters graduated from Columbia and one played volleyball there. I’m not saying any of the Ivies will jump ship and become independents like Notre Dame, etc., but they all have the financial ability to do so and to compete for the best athelets, but its possible. I’m more worried about Texas A & M out pacing LSU given the disparity in their endowment balances.

Are you an athlete?
I'm wondering why this was the best day of your life.

Go look at the club system in Europe. That is the future.
And, good luck on you greatest day. How many games are released for minor league / club sports.
The current system basically funds 95% of college athletics by not paying the 5% what the market would bear while maintaining their status as "charitable tax free" organizations.
Once a true professional model is introduced to "college" sports, the current athletic departments will be split from the universities. There will be no more title IX. No more track and field, tennis, etc. There won't be tax free donations or scholarships. There will simply be minor league professional teams.
I think the top football teams will survive for a while, but how many minor league teams look anything like current college athletics. In the long run, the USA does not support minor leagues very well.
A lot of people have had a chance to go from sharecropper to life long success due to athletic scholarships; while, other people went to school for 4 years and can not read. I suspect that many in the public don't really look at the big picture of the NCAA in spite of all of the adds about people who go on to "jobs outside professional sports".
