If you are ruling to pay Athletes, then you would be ruling to have a league of maybe 32 teams for football and probably less for basketball and baseball.


Exactly. I will use another exanple to further the point we are both making. Let's say a kid wants to be a computer scientist. I know plenty of people who got a very low paying Jr. analyst job almost out of high school. They took low pay because they did not have a formal education, which is what most employers are looking for. Then on the other hand, you have people who went to college and got a degree for CS. Out of college they made much more than the guy with no degree. Both of said people could eventually make the same pay towards the end of their careers. The opportunity is there, each just chose their own path to get there.

In a letter to the chairs of two State Assembly committees last week, NCAA President Mark Emmert implied that if the bill becomes law as it is written, California schools could face the prospect of being prohibited from participating in NCAA championships. That includes 23 NCAA Division I schools, four of which are in the Pac-12 Conference


If the NCAA tries this, it will go all the way to SCOTUS and result in the death of the NCAA. They're not winning that.

death of the ncaa

they could just do the other sports like they do baseball

They can.

They just can't do it and be eligible to play in the NCAA...as per the voluntary agreement they enter into when they choose to play in the NCAA.

If NCAA allows student athletes to profit off their name while still maintaining NCAA eligibility, its ripe for abuse and its going to make the gap between the top tier programs and everyone else even bigger.

School wants a big time recruit? Now a booster can offer them big bucks and not even have to try and hide it. They can just offer the money in exchange for a few commercials or personal appearance at the booster's business, contingent on the player signing with that school. Obviously schools with top tier programs will have more wealthy boosters willing to do such a thing, so its a huge advantage in recruiting on top of all their existing advantages.

If it happens then the NCAA might as well split Divison 1 for basketball and football to put Power 5 conferences in their own division...and maybe for baseball too.



This is obvious to anyone who has thought about this for more than 10 seconds.

I don’t know what’s a more ridiculous thought at this point:

The idiotic NCAA governing the paying of players

Or

Billion dollar industries still using the “college degree” excuse to not pay athletes and getting away with it because no one can compete with their infrastructure already in place.

As a fan judging purely by what benefits my sport and team the most, I’m all for free scouting at the level of competition the NCAA provides and not having to gamble on 18 year old kids out of high school. I’m all for them having a “maturity buffer” which allows them to grow up on their own before being handed millions of dollars. As an observer, the whole thing just seems ridiculous.

ETA: I would also argue that “maturity buffer” would give them a better shot at being successful long term financially.

They've self banned for awhile now in football and basketball


Does not compute.

Football doesn't have an NCAA Champion. They have a MNC sponsored by Dr. Pepper.

The NCAA could never exclude a California school from the CFB playoff.

How many schools could actually compete in basketball if they were paid? I'd say 8-10 maybe. All it takes is 5 players.

Football, you'd have maybe 32 teams.

ALL the talent would filter to the top schools with the top programs
good. We dont need to waste time watching the shite conferences

How voluntary is it really when the NCAA is a monopoly and the NFL and NBA won't let you enter the league straight out of high school?

I agree, for a top division. But the idea that the Tulane’s and Troy and Southern Miss’s and UCF’s could pay players is laughable. They can’t. Not compared to places like the SEC and other top 30 schools.

Wake up to reality Bruh. How many 18-19 year olds can compete with 25 year old nfl players?

Furthermore, you guys are failing to realize that there are 85 scholarship players PER school. Sure, maybe 5-10 deserve to be paid. What about the other 75? You think you can pay your All-sec athlete $50,000/ year and pay your 18 year old freshmen $5,000/ year and those immature freshmen can take it?

Nba and basketball you have maybe 100 players TOTAL in the country that deserve to be paid. There are like 4,000 D1 basketball players on scholly.

Again, I’m not against paying some players but the idea we should pay them all is laughable. The idea that paying those that actually deserve it will make the ncaa better is laughable. Paying them complicates matters to so many degrees it will never work.

Well, there are only 31 programs with a national championship in football since the beginning of the poll era. That 32 number isn't really all that different from the norm.

Eliminate the smaller conferences and college football dies.

Right now a below average P5 team can go 8-4 be scheduling small schools. Take away small schools and many P5 teams are going to have much worse records.

Attendance will drop if fans start seeing their teams go 5-7, 6-6 every year

It really doesn't. This proposal isn't saying the school should pay them. It's allowing outside sources to.

Who gets paid? Whoever the market is there for. This approach also keeps it Title IX safe.

It won’t be about market. It will only be about whoever has the richest donors to buy top recruits to their school. Would be a horrible thing for NCAA

Thats an issue between he and the professional leagues, not the NCAA. Pretty simple.
