bison73 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 2 hours ago, shep said: I think the NCAA as an institution stinks. It's a money grab entity and they saw that the states were going to allow this so they jumped in to make sure they looked good AND I bet they will seek some way to get some of the money the players are supposed to get. Student athletes have not been strictly amateur for awhile as I believe the NCAA suffers from lack of enforcement as much as selective enforcement. Look at College BB and the shoe deals scandal. How could the NCAA not know about that, but it took the feds to investigate and go after the bad guys in this deal. But even the feds can't catch all the bad guys. Absolutely. They are more worried about the adherence to the minutia of bull crap rules than rooting out serious problems. ex The NCAA made a female sports team reimburse th university for the water they used for a fund raising car wash while sport shoe companies are paying recruits to go to certain school. The disparity of those two issues is astounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping on this notion ... Would that be all bad? The Canadian junior/major junior system works. Minor league baseball works. The NFL and NBA get free minor league systems, and much of it publicly subsidized. Make educational institutions focused first on educating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iramurphy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 No, probably not. It may lessen the college experience for many and indirectly could adversely affect donations. Athletic events are the major attraction for many alumni to return to campus and reconnect with their Alma Mater. We as a society have allowed sports to become a very dirty business.

SiouxVolley Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Here’s a story about advertising worth of FBS athletes. It may be a couple hundred for most, but very high for stars. https://kval.com/sports/how-much-are-college-athletes-names-and-images-worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Couldn't find a better thread, so landing here. Does any know, are all collages dropping all sports for the rest of the school year? Does that include practices? Camps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
