It's also about Title IX, so it's not only about football.

There are a lot of NCAA athletes that contribute little to nothing towards these media rights payouts.

They contribute little to nothing, yet eat at the training table, get to use the weight training facilities, get free tuition/books, free room and board, tutors, medical, etc..

The only people that buy tickets to some of these sports events where the athletes are on a free ride are family and friends.

I don’t think they even sell tickets to watch college golf tournaments. Maybe they do for conference, regional…. And Gray Hawk.

Who gets said compensation, 3rd and 4th string bench warmers, the women's rowing team, the men's bowling team?

Is it equally distributed? Does a walk-on bench warmer get the same amount as Bryce Young?

They can distribute it however they see fit, but a portion of tv revenue should be set aside to pay the athletes. I don’t tune in to watch coaches

It doesn't matter.

Compensation and Benefits for college athletes has to be equal per Title IX.

That is why these NIL deals are separate from the institution. Or supposed to be anyway.

Why are some asking for NIL to be regulated…IF….they are separate from the university?

The universities are supposed to remain out of the NIL deals.

They aren't even supposed to go to those private entities providing the NIL deals and give them a list of potential recruits they prefer.

Mitch Cumstein, A 4th string walk-on bench warmer is a "Main draw to a popular, multi billion dollar sport"?

This will happen someday and it should. The question isn't if, it's when and how.

The schools should carve out some of the billion and a half they receive and give it to the athletes as cash payments. Perhaps based on the percentage their sport contributes to the pie. Equal to all players. Then let NIL be the way that the better players get more money. And the medical and other asks are no big deal. Let's say the B1G, who are supposed to get 1.5 billion, or about 100 million per school, shaves off 10% for the compensation to the athletes and the medical care funding. They still make $40 million more per year than they do now. For those saying, "but they have expenses" - that's correct, but they are going to go from $55 million to $100 million or more. Take $10 million of that and pay the players.

There will be all sorts of ideas like this. Maybe each conference puts in 10% and that pool gets divided out equally. That way no conference gets an advantage from it. That's a way the B1G and SEC can show they care about the holistic aspect of the sport.

This is going to happen. The longer they fight it, the worst it will get.
 
Demands like this is exactly what it will take for conferences to self regulate like they should. It’s time to curb this Wild West mentality.

I would also argue that most fans cheer for the teams and not the players, especially at the college level.

There are 845 student athletes at Nebraska if 10m we're divided (and taxed) it would be less than 10k per athlete, they get more in scholarships, food, housing. So sure give them an option 10k or room and board..... major derpage

How dare players want compensation for being the main draw to a popular, multi billion dollar sport

I'm fine with compensating players, as long as the university holds the right to release a player from scholarship at any point during the year, if the player is a bust or the coaching staff deems the player as someone who no longer helps the team -- they can be cut from the team and their scholarship pulled immediately.

If they want to treat CFB like a professional sport -- then you can't just ask for that which is beneficial to them. Colleges should be able to trade players, release players who are busts at any point, put weight clauses in their scholarships that players must meet or be fined. Let's go all the way. Make it the minor league of the NFL.

That was just some shooting from the hip thoughts. You would distribute according to the % their sport brings in. All but a few lose money, so those players don't get anything or very little and shouldn't expect anything. That leaves about 110 football and basketball players. That's real money.

Also, it wouldn't be $10 million ... it'd be 10% per conference, then divided by players of sports that make money or contribute to the fund. It'd be in the tens of thousands. Finally, no one says after taxes. Everything is after taxes and everyone knows that. No one says Athlete X got 18.5 million per year, after taxes.

Did you type that part about caring about the holistic aspect of the sport with a straight face?

Your never going to win a court case like that when it's for the whole schools media rights, not just the sports that "make money"

After taxes is very much important in every aspect of it

Major derpage here 😂😆😂
