Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 5711163, member: 515"] Is there really much of a difference at this point between a school or NIL collective asking for money, and the Yankees reaching out to it’s fanbase and seeking help with Judge’s or Bellinger’s contract, for exsmple? These athletic departments need to be bifurcated from the academic side and treated as for-profit, tax paying entities which are subject to financial fair play penalties like they have in European soccer. Randomly audit the crap out of the schools (for NCAA & fair play compliance) and athletes (for tax adherence) and have some courage when it comes time for enforcement. The facade of the student-athlete and the university having a “higher mission” to educate has crumbled. [/QUOTE]
