How long before there is a lawsuit because females “aren’t getting” the same opportunities as male student athletes? Feel like there are lawyers somewhere already trying to get this ball rolling.

What would you consider to be an alternative?
I like the idea of the players being paid for their likeness. But, I think capping it or limiting it isn't what America is supposed to be about. The comment was that they voluntarily enter into the contract that is currently available. Well, there is no other avenue for an athlete to choose in America.

Why cap it? The under the table stuff will still go on with a cap. Why not just end the charade?

Cap it and only give it to them once/if they graduate

So the school can make money off their back, but they can’t keep their earnings?

Sure, once they graduate. It entices kids to stay longer in school, get a degree and still turn pro
Or in Lieu of tuition, room and board etc.. let them get paid for their likeness with no cap. They aren’t professionals for frick sake.

And what happens to the money if they don’t graduate?

Same thing that happens to it now

Not true. I listed plenty of other options.
Many professions have limitations and restrictions on who can participate and what can be paid.

Why not allow programs to have team expense accounts where the players can have a per diem like debit card that allows for food, gas social expenses, travel etc.? This would be easy to track and would limit or eliminate any abuse of spending as well as teach players how to budget their spending.

. Don't think we need you deciding what's best for student athletes. Posted on 10/1/19 at 7:47 pm to 225Tyga

They're basically expected to be. It's pretty obvious that you're totally ignorant on this subject
Posted on 10/1/19 at 7:48 pm to Madking
And they’ll still get paid under the table.

You obviously don’t know the workload these “amateurs” get put through.

I was watching something and skimmed through what you posted. Sorry, only foreign and North America stood out when I skimmed it. The foreign option wouldn't be relevant to the post I responded to because the player would have to leave the US.
If a football player goes to a semi pro or arena league they would be forfeiting a chance at a big pay day in the NFL. Now when the XFL comes along it will be a different story. There was a segment on Outside The Lines today about students on a music scholarship being able to use their position and standing in the music program to be tutors and play for money. Why should the athletes be any different?

That’s a separate issue altogether. Most of that stuff happens beyond the knowledge of the coaches as is done by boosters and outside groups. Not saying coaches don’t know that it goes on or is attempted but it isn’t sanctioned by the team or university in most cases. If you would give programs the ability to give the players legal assistance you’d remove a lot of the under the table stuff.

Wouldn't that keep the playing field level?
Well considering it's supposed to be zero now and we all know its jot how it works. No it wont level the playing field.
My suggestion if this comes to pass would be not allow freshmen to enter into these endorsements. Set a minimum requirement.
Would maybe help keep some of the recruitment bidding from getting too outrageous.
Of course recruits would still get the cash handshake but it wouldn't be an all out bidding war
