re: Saban expected to be named co-chair of the Presidential Commission studying college sports

“I don’t understand”


Correct

Call Saban and ask him, he obviously has ideas or wouldn’t be joining a Presidential task force just to do it.

This exactly what he doing… what could possibly come of this a court wouldn’t strike down… it’s basically comes down to you can’t infringe on the right to earn

Sure they can, they are in college receiving a free degree and they weren’t getting paid legitimately for a 100 years.

U suggesting that the NCAA and this task force can’t put in restraints and restrictions is just silly.

This is the part though that I genuinely don’t understand. It’s a volunteer activity. No one is stopping them from finding alternative ways to earn. And for the record, I’m not saying they shouldn’t get paid. I just don’t get why an organization that is strictly voluntary can’t have guidelines that people can either follow or do something else. I.e you want to be in this organization, you’ll follow our rules, no matter how stupid they may be

I mean, where does it end? So a coach says if you don’t come to practice, you don’t play. Then a kid misses practice, doesn’t play, then sues because he claims his right to earn has been infringed?

By this definition what job isn’t??? The only caveat is people want them to do this one for free.. the degree argument fails because in what other money-making business would they tell you to work for a certification in lieu of payment.. not a trade school situation… I mean actually work

It’s a charity salary that’s breaking its own rules and you think it’s a 1 for 1 with a normal, regulated industry or profession? Lmfao

Except they didn’t do it for free, they got tuition, stipends and perks that no other student gets that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Should players be able to make money off commercials or a YouTube channel or doing autograph shows? Absolutely. Do they need to make a salary? Absolutely the frick not

there doesn’t seem to be any rule that these organizations have where a court isn’t going to rule against them.

This was my point… which gets right back to not being able to infringe on a person’s right to earn… how can a body regulate what a outside entity is willing to pay you,,. Specifically for your name, image and likeness… do these not belong to you???.. it’s silly on its premise that a 18 year old would’ve allowed to sign these away

The rules of NIL were broken in the very first NIL deal which means they never existed. NIL is nothing more than a sales pill for ignorant fans to swallow.

Tried to tell you guys this before it started. This scam is a tactic to drive up the price of players so that programs can’t afford to pay them at which point the networks and their partners will step in to pay and assume total control of the sport. Thats always been the plan of NIL to separate the players from the programs in order to control the sport, basically replacing NCAA.
