I am jumping on the -Pay The Players- bandwagon

[KingKoolKat75]

I can't watch one the best players today because he borrowed money to take his girlfriend to a bowl game.

Fuck the NCAA. Pay the players!

Funny how people’s opinion’s can change so quickly...

Also, absolutely student athletes should be compensated. They bring in billions.

Well he should be suspended for being dumb. You don’t need to bring your girlfriend to a bowl game when there are a shit load of groupies waiting there.

I’m just so ticked off this poor dude tried to be upfront and honest about it and it screwed him. I feel for the kid.

No...no too many woman will get a future NFL star in trouble.

To be honest, the problem won't go away until the P5's break off and form their own division that can stand increasing the output to the players. Hell, even in the P5's there are athletic departments that can't break even because of Title IX. All of that cash flowing in goes to keeping those required non revenue sports afloat.

Break away and reform/remove Title IX and the problem would resolve itself.

Forming a new Association would be groovy. Especially if they controlled the scheduling.

Is title ix a NCAA issue or a federal issue?

Wasn’t there a OSU football player who followed the same path and got the scorn woman’s domestic violence charge against him?

federal, but with congress poking their heads into the pay the players stuff and other college sports related issues like healthcare, they inevitably can and should reform it.

Pay them, but dont waste scholarships on them. Its just like paying the promotions department for advertisements. Pay them if it makes you money. But dont fuck around and take scholarships from people that earned them.

These are two separate issues:
Break off and form your own league/governing body. The stupid rules on the books would be gone from day 1.

Title IX has killed the athletics for quite a few institutions, both large and small. Hell WSU has faced threats from the state legislature over their continued operating in the red year after year. More or less what it does to very small schools without football revenue from shared P5 pools. It needs to be reformed and there is some talk about that on the hill.

If both were to happen the kids would end up being well taken care of without bankrupting the schools. Without both you aren't going to fix the underlying problem of big name athletes barely making ends meet while earning millions for their schools/leagues.

Title IX isn’t going away. It’s Federal law.

Federal laws can and do change over time. As I've already said, congress has been poking their heads into the college sports topics and sooner or later if they keep trying to look toward mandating changes they will have to own their share of it.

Yes...Zek.

I am concerned that this will create a two-tiered system where elite athletes will live in luxury while players who just want to try hard but mostly just go to college get ignored.

Guys who are going to make millions can wait a year or two for their big payday. Listen to your professor while in college. Ignore your agent until you graduate.
