NCAA to allow Schools to pay Players Directly

There won't be parity though. It will be no different than it was before this ruling. Honestly it's going to make college sports more like European soccer in the sense that the wealthy ones will thrive while the ones with less resources won't be able to compete.

Buh god thats Urban Meyers music!

I hope this opens the door for the NFL to start scheduling games every Saturday. NCAA football is essentially a pro sport now and the NFL should start stepping on their day.

He seems like the kind of guy that will actively tithe to a school like WSU

His contributions buy three innings of shitty relief pitching

Just think of the NCAA as a farm league and it's fine. I don't really pay attention to college sports but they should get paid because they have a lot of monetary value and I've always thought it's pretty un-American to forbid someone from making money off of their skillset when they can.

If the schools are paying the players directly can they make them sign a non compete to receive their salary? You get to go back to sitting out a year if you want out essentially

Just curious how deep this rabbit hole will go

I suppose high school players will start needing agents...

I suppose that would be something that could be written into the contract…same as NFL.

It will go until CFB adopts a system similar to the NFL. The days of certain programs hoarding all of the best talent isn't as good for the industry as opposed to a shared balance of talent.

At one point a couple years ago Ohio State's WR room consisted of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Wjlliams, Jaxon SMJ, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Emeka Egbuka. The first five listed were all 1st round picks and Egbuka is in his final year and a probable first or second round pick.

That's great for Ohio State but not for competitive balance.

Well, tuition isnt very high for the everyday student so this shouldn't affect prices very much.

If parents were putting their young children under any athletic pressure starting in elementary school already, imagine how things will get now?

I think it's funny that they call it college athletics when it's professional athletics.
