US Supreme Court ruling about NCAA “pay”


Mama Sue

Recommended Posts

Now the NCAA DI Council voted to recommend to its board of directors to “ adopt an interim policy that would suspend amateurism rules related to name, image, snd likeness.” Sounds like it will be up to each school to implement their own policies. The NCAA policy “leaves in place the commitment to avoid pay-for-play and improper indictments tied to choosing to attend a particular school.”   
Yea, right…..

The concept of amateurism for the stars at big time programs has always been a joke anyway. In principle I agree with the loosening of the rules but in practice it will get messy at times.

So Major Junior players retain their NCAA eligibility now?

I wouldn't think so, because the schools still won't be paying players directly and NIL contracts aren't allowed to be tied to athletic performance.  (except for fcoa which is more than chl players probably get)

....from the NCAA's perspective.

Edit:  The most recent Supreme Court ruling was only about schools being allowed to provide education related expenses to athletes, such as laptops, internet, and more food, etc.  I don't think this would change the NCAA's argument against CHL players either.

So the rich get richer.

Such as,

Nike will pay Oregon athletes.

Small guy will have harder time competing.

Slippery slope.

That is a good point, there needs to be some sort of adjusted cap for payments, I think it should act as more of a stipend for students, basically if there tuition, Housing, and meal plan is covered, then any payments should more or less be in the reasonable realm spending money, may slightly more, but not drastically above what kids are payed for on campus jobs. This would also be a way for the Money making sports to subsidize the loss leader sports.

Why? Some of these top level guys have legit value. Is there a cap on summer jobs?

Few years ago they approved giving school giving athletes "spending money" above everything school related paid for.

$2,000 to $5,000.

This is more money for athletes now.

There is no or ever was a cap on earned income for regular students. How did you get that out of my post?

I’m saying that my point is that athletes should not be limited in their income because regular students are not limited in how much they can earn for their work. If they have a special skill, they can earn a lot. Same should be true for the top level athletes.

On one hand parity is nice to see who's the best within a set criteria, ostarine and all.  However, on the other hand is now the Wild West of college football.  If a team like SMU wants to win a Natty, like in 1981 - 1982 time frame (yes, SMU) then so be it.  The roofs now blown off college football, expect some new powerhouse teams to emerge.

That’s a fun game to play. Which program will rise like crazy out of nowhere in the next couple years? If it’s not a blue blood don’t be surprised if the rule all of a sudden changes.

I’ll go with North Texas and Illinois as my dark horses.
