NCAA wants the govt to screw up NIL

Because these are student athletes, not mercenary athletes. If there are limitations for eligibility in terms of a running clock, I think it is perfectly justifiable that there be limitations in eligibility for transfers.
Why can coaches leave, but students can't?

Why does the NCAA approve some waivers in a timely manner, but seemingly drags its feet with no accountability on others?
 
Please lay out a reason why the NCAA should have this power? Other than to rebalance the money into the hands of predominantly older white men, what is actually being harmed?
You would have had a great post if you would have left out the part about older white men.
 
The NCAA has one power that they haven’t given up. They could use that to get this under control. That one power is eligibility to play. Get rid of the immediate eligibility for transfers and it would dramatically limit transfers.
They do this and then they're going to be sued under antitrust laws.

What other organizations is begging Congress for antitrust immunity?
 
This way, that way. If its one thing for certain when humans have their hand in it, they're going to eventually destroy it. Funny how things were fine for so long.

Jesus Christ. You people have lost the plot completely. Making this shit about race. F off. What an absolute bunch of cry baby bitches.
 
And how much different is that than saying fine, you want to transfer then you’re going to either make it work where you’re at or you’re going to sit out a year?
I was just pointing out that the NFL doesn't actually care about these kids. I thought you were implying they did care. My bad if you weren't.
 
You are right. I had zero reason to even bother.

If the Government gets involved they will do what communists always do. Take the money from rich schools and give to poor ones. Tradition, fan base, facilities everything big name schools have will no longer matter .

When did I propose that the government get involved? All I said was that it can't get much worse. You call me ignorant and you can't read or even remember who posted what about what!

We already do that. It's called conferences. That's why Northwestern gets the same B10 money as Michigan. BTW, it's made a big difference in how competitive their athletic programs are.

More evidence. Wish I could say I'm surprised.

Imagine conflating conference tv deals with the govt and NCAA overall. Incredible.
 
Replace “participating in college sports” with “picking cotton” and you basically have a verbatim quote from Jefferson Davis, Robert E Lee or David Duke
All of these slaves, who can come and go as they please and get the best of everything, things that other students don't get. When looking at athletic programs overall, according to the NCAA 61% of the athletes are white and 19% are black. Man, the NCAA is enslaving white people now!

BTW, I kind of felt like a slave too working on my Master's (that's kind of ironic and funny) degree, doing teaching and research for almost nothing, and I'm a white guy and my "Master" was a professor who was originally from Libya (great professor BTW and a great guy).
 
do you realize that the big ten is going to pay a school whose football team hasn’t played in a bowl in 8 years and counting the same amount of money as a school whose football team who just won the national title and has won the conference the last 3 years?
Well, you have to add in how much that school is going to pay for legal fees for the sign stealing defense. And other teams may sue them for damages for winning by cheating.

Lighten up Francis,

The government probably isn't going to get that involved other than have a hearing or two and maybe some crazy congressman will propose a ridiculous bill that will die before it sees the light of day, as they have other things on their mind at the moment (and all subsequent moments). You have to remember that in the Federal Government, it's more important to "propose" things than to "pass" things.

Another thing, most of these institutions are public and are already regulated by their State Governments and the US Department of Education anyway. The "Government" is already involved and it's been that way for over 100 years.

It's a nothing burger, not a massive slippery slope to Soviet Communism.

Yes, they do that in the pro leagues too. The system dies if one team gets all of the money because then there's no competition and the fans become disinterested. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, all understand this.

These sports leagues aren't like individual sports where the participants play for prize money. They all understand that if you don't revenue share, then the league goes away and everyone loses. Maintenance of the league is the Number 1 priority as without it, no one makes any money.

This is pretty simple stuff and a John Bircher like yourself should know this.

Wouldn't that be more like socialism? No one really has money in a communist state. Except for the leader and his buddies. Everyone else gets to starve.
