Law Trump to sign executive order limiting NIL payouts to college athletes

[Phisher]

Free market at work, huh?

I wonder how much the NCAA bribed him under the table to do this.

 

[Crazy Source]

The nihilist in me wants to see the chaos this is going to cause. People are going to be pissed.

 

[Scerpi]

lol… I don’t give a fuck about college sports

Why? Is there an issue?

This will and should be rejected in court

For many college players, this will be the only chance to get paid

 

[Stoic1]

I feel the need to become outraged on someone elses behalf.

 

[Scerpi]

I’ll also add

Colleges and universities should NOT play players directly.

There’s already a tuition crisis. Students shouldn’t bear these costs.

Let athletes get endorsements and ad money though

 

[Jar of Flies]

At least he’s progressed to fucking college aged kids instead of his past preference.

 

[USA!USA!]

lol I thought Trump’s whole thing was to get less involved in businesses ??!

I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with rich donors and university presidents complaining to him about the punk ass kids who are actually finally getting their fair share now these days

Looking out for the everyday citizen per usual, Donnie!

Colleges make a lot of money on the back of athletes. These athletes should get paid and the government should stay out of it. Like @Scerpi said, this will be the only chance to get paid for most of them.

Another quality post.

Im of the belief that Colleges shouldnt be profiting off college sports to the degree they are. Nor should college athletes be receiving direct payment. Dont like how traditional sport leagues got state and federal governments to fully subsidize their development program. Something Riot Games(and Activision/Blizzard in the past) is now trying to do with their esport games.

Way hockey/NHL handles it seems to be a step in the proper direction.

Believe whatever you want, it raises huge revenue. That's a fact that isn't going away. We love our college sports.

There should be a pay cap to keep it fair

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I agree with over ruling the House v NCAA case. That completely changed the dynamics of NIL and made it directly pay and play. 3rd party endorsements, merch sales, etc should all be allowed. Revenue split from tv and ticket sales, no. Unless we just abolish NCAA as it stands and create separate private feeder leagues like hockey does and soccer does; to lesser extent, basketball

If it were your kid or classmates i'd understand. Watching sports outside of the professional level i find weird.

It's ingrained in American society.

Courts have ruled they WILL pay players this year (and are making back pay too in the millions to players going back to 2016, mostly to basketball and football which earn most of the money for the TV contracts), and well they should. The NCAA makes billions off of college sports and the money is a long time coming. AND they still will have the right to get NIL despite what Trump does; he can't make executive orders about someone's salary; the executive order could have to do with the college's involvement in the NIL money rather than the player's ability to make money on their own, not sure about that. The tuition crisis is another issue- that has to do with top-heavy college staffing that has more administrators than teachers.

In specific pockets of the country, sure. Which i believe is in large part contributed by the region surrounding that town lack of available entertainment.

It's the most watched thing on TV outside the NFL for the most part, has been for a long time. It's wildly popular in the US.

What? Pockets? Every state has college teams that fans go crazy for. It's as American as apple pie, bro.

Since you guys don't seem to watch the news....

NCAA will pay its current and former athletes in an agreement that will transform college sports

After a lengthy litigation process, the NCAA will provide US$2.8 billion in back pay, while allowing schools to directly pay athletes for the first time.

theconversation.com

This is direct pay not related to NIL.
