Why would you allow only certain players to benefit financially in an amateur team sport? If anything bump the stipend up a little and be done with it. Anything else will only cause animosity in the team and every other sport in the athletic department. If the NFL and NBA want to create their own farm leagues and recruit players then let them do it.

This is going to be a disaster. I'm not saying players shouldn't be paid, although realistically only a small portion of players in 2 maybe 3 sports "make" the universities money, but the outcome of this will result in a lot of niche sports being dropped all together.

Yep but Title IX still rules regardless of the court outcome so if niche sports get dropped then football and basketball get dropped too or the whole sport scholarship model is doomed.

I'm not sure even if you went to a straight payment system you could pay 85 male athletes (football team) without also paying 85 female athletes.

I don't see how one could without more changes to regulations. Either you are a school that pays players, or you are not and stay on the scholarship model. Doing so will quickly advance the gap between competitive schools with money and not just the small and middle tier programs but also the good quality athletic programs that just don't have the financial power to compete.

I was initially thinking the main compensation won't come from schools themselves because of the Title IX rules mentioned, but from giving the player the ability to earn money from his name/likeness. That opens up the flow of money the school can provide, but aren't paying themselves.

Yeah, I guess if students can earn from their likeness that would be different than a stipend or other form of pay from the school.

I can see local boosters paying big bucks to key recruits for their "likeness" and then you have huge discrepancies on the team and an incentive for those getting paid to pad their stats.

Could also see booster banning together to pay for the likeness of everyone on the F-ball team to serve as a recruiting tool.

Exactly. All that currently under the table money nobody wants the NCAA to know about will be done in the open. And now it will not only be legal, but probably encouraged by the coaches of schools that can afford to go the money route.

It'll be a lot easier to attract recruits when you have a booster base that's willing to donate money/cars/clothing/ect. The school isn't paying it. So there's no obligation to compensate athletes in other sports. But it's something they can offer to football players, or any player actually, that other schools may not.

There will be benefits. You dont want your name in the paper for assault and simple drug possession when Ted Russell Ford is giving you 5k a month to do commercials.

I'm not against paying players or them earning from their likeness - its just that its going to greatly widen the gap between haves and have nots AND destroy a lot of college athletic programs.

will be interesting if that booster money that is paying exorbitant coaching salaries gets redirected towards players.

We also might see some P5 programs decline while some G5 programs rise.

Paying players just whatever from whoever will ruin college sports. If you think you’re better than everyone else and deserve a ton of money then go earn it. Don’t use the platform of college athletics to build a “resume” unless you’re prepared to accept what it offers and only what it offers. Should they bump up the stipend? Probably, but it will open up a can of worms in itself. However, I think it’ll be an easier problem to fix than just the free for all though.

I dont know the answer but it is kinda BS these athletes dont get paid. Same thing with unpaid internships. This is America, pay people for what they create
