They should just sign them to contracts and pay them in installments. Have buyouts. Jay bilas has explained it well.

If they didn't get a payday. This includes the recently departed Tennessee QB, Nico Iamaleava, according to Josh Pate. Everything's fine boys. The sport has never been bigger or better than it is now. Nothing to see here.
And now Nico doesn’t have a team to play for, so everything does, in fact, seem fine

they received free tuition, books, housing, food, clothes, medical care, and a monetary stipend. They were getting very well compensated for being "amateur student athletes".

I think you should be paid $35k a year for your job. That seems more than fair to me

What’s the solution?
Contracts with buyouts.

right here. Free market, I thought most here liked it.
The courts mandated that a voluntary organization cannot put any limitations on its volunteers. How is that free market?
Under an actual free market, some private equity guys would have started the Saturday Football League, paid the players, and outcompeted the NCAA until it was obsolete. That didn’t happen because the entire value of college athletics comes from its ties to the government-backed institutions.
Regardless of talent disparity, a minor league Tuscaloosa team would never be more popular than the university-affiliated team.

They can go to college and get an actual job if they want and make all the money in the world of their name image and likeness. The ncaa was never stopping them from doing that….
Livvy Dunne could have gone to lsu and did arse pics and made as much money she wanted while working a job under the old ncaa rules. They didn’t prevent her from doing that. They just said you can’t be a member of our private organization if you do so. It was a horrible ruling from congress that just stokes the fires of big govt interference

IMO, the entire system is immoral.
The biggest issue, is the agents (mostly family members or friends). They are taking in 25-30% on these deals. The kids don't know any better, and no one is looking out for them. It's a bonanza, and is the root cause of the ultimatums. It should be the first reform.

-If i wanted a job and a company was hiring
-I went for an interview and I liked the company and they felt my skillset was appropriate
-the paperwork comes out and they tell me my job duties and respobilities which I deem acceptable, and they tell me that this job pays a salary of $35K per year and I deem that acceptable
-and both of us sign the papers to agree for me to do ABC duties in exchange for XYZ compensation
I don't see the slightest thing in the world wrong wtih that. Do you?

This is what happens when players and their families/"advisors" no longer value a college education.
I'm waiting for the 30 for 30 episode on college players who got big NIL money but no degree, who never made it in the NFL, and who are now dead broke.
That will be a good one.

so my only problem with this is
1) there are other outlets, mainly canada and usfl where they can go play
2) NCAA is voluntary org and nobody is saying you must go to college to go the NFL. Its all voluntary
my whole thing is the courts shouldnt be able to tell a voluntary org what rules they can have to regulate the org.
but i also dont believe there should be a minimum wage either and should be able to sell you labor for whatever you want.
I also dont relaly have a problem with the original intent of NIL but we knew this would happen.
what has to happen is NCAA needs to get the settlement in court for Rev sharing and they need to have it where its contract based. Im ok with it being year to year or even 3 years or 4 year contracts with penalties for breaking the contract

You dont actually believe that. You just don’t like this specific ruling

It’s completely incorrect that the ncaa prevented kids from making money off their name. Every single person had the option to not VOLUNTARILY become an ncaa athlete and they can make all the money off their name they want

so? Those are adult professionals with...jobs. College studnets don't have jobs. They agree to go to that school and be a student, all the while playing a sport and having everything taken care of in exchange. That system worked for a 100 years.

You guys are complaining about players getting paid and pretty much being free agents and going to highest bidder every year.
This was a shite show to begin with.

That had everything to do with his father SIGNIFICANTLY overplaying their hand by wanting a TWO MILLION DOLLAR raise for his child. And that was after Tennessee obviously agreed to their terms before the playoffs considering he ended up playing in the game.
