I don’t think you understand what we’re saying. The NCAA should’ve let players have nil, they should have set up a system to allow players contracts, a proper transfer portal. 10 years ago players would’ve jumped at the chance for pay back when they wasn’t getting paid. Your caught up in the now

Player contracts = employee status, almost certainly. How can the players negotiate contracts without collective bargaining? You know, a union to be able to negotiate the contracts instead of just having to take it or leave it no matter what the school offered?

They WERE getting paid under the table 10 years ago. Don't be naive. It's not the money, it's the freedom to get A LOT of the money and as soon as the floodgates BARELY opened legally, players got rich and lawsuits occurred to keep the NCAA from reining it in.

"Oh, but they'd have gone for it 10 years ago" like they weren't being paid. Please. It's not the money. It's the control of the players that's being called illegal. The portal..... repeatedly AND the control of what money the schools can offer.

You seem to not realize THE SCHOOLS are suing about having no NCAA rules, not the players.

You keep thinking the players were "sweet and innocent" when I've posted a video of Joe Nameth saying he was offered as much as his Dad made a year + a new car to sign with a school in 1960.

The money wasn't the issue. The control the NCAA had over the players is illegal and was illegal.

You just ignore that. You seem to think they could've just "made it a little less illegal" or tossed players a bone and they'd have let the illegal hold on them slide.

That's crazy. Any challenge and it all fell apart VERY quickly, as we've seen.
