That begs a question

Is it legal for a government entity (university) to compete with a private business, and essentially drive them out of the market?

Technically the postal service competes with UPS and FedEx

Medicare competes somewhat with private insurance so yes govt entities compete with private sector. Drive them out? The govt is usually a model of inefficiency so not really

We reviewed college athlete contracts -- here's how performance adjustments, buyouts and bowl incentives work

College athletes are getting paid; here's exactly what that looks like

Nice info, but these appear to be EMPLOYEE contracts.

The very next step is for the players to organize to negotiate more compensation and better working conditions as other pro athletes and contract employees often do. Though the schools may be signing the contracts, if the NCAA is setting the "most you can compensate" limit the NCAA is a "joint employer" who will have to negotiate that "salary cap" like the NFL, NBA, etc.

I get that the House settlement is going to save the NCAA and schools a lot of money in lawsuits for "back pay" for illegally restricting NIL for many years but I can't imagine these contracts lead to anything but a very quick transition to the pro sports model.

For good or for bad, if House is approved (and I'm doubtful without some way built in for athletes to negotiate "the cap") we'll be watching pro ball in Neyland, sadly.

However, those things are not mandated by a private organization like the NCAA that may not have the legal authority to force that on the 3rd party private side of the equation.

The only thing for certain is that the litigation has barely begun.
