How WIll the NCAA Enforce New Compensation and NIL Rules?

[kcsu]

Because, there was a time...when very young adults knowing how fortunate they were getting a full ride at an institute of higher learning, et al, along with playing a game they loved, being truly grateful getting that surprise $100 bill in a Christmas card.

I played at a small school and guys would be around the team and ask us to watch their kid for a few minutes and give us a 20 or 50. I also got some jobs that were actually jobs. Not hard but they paid well. Of course, some free food and drinks as the drinking age was 18. I thought I was in heaven if I got 100.00.

The NCAA cannot enforce NIL. It's too hard to prove that anything from boosters is pay for play, despite nearly all of it being exactly that. I don't understand why this is so hard for people to understand.

The new rules for allowing schools to pay players directly changes nothing. The payment floor has been raised, but the disparity between schools will remain the same. Rich psycho boosters will ensure their schools will have the most to spend.

Any major program took care of kids. SU actually had a bag man. Forget the guys name

Getting them to pass anything that takes away states rights isn't going to happen.

It falls squarely under the interstate commerce clause. They may or may not, but they can.

Ah, the not so fond memories!

Agreed, and there are always going to be programs that look to sidestep the rules regardless

My hunch...

A bunch of the big programs will get away with violations and then a program will be cherry picked and nailed to cross for violations to make it look like the NCAA is doing something...

It won't be an SEC power school either.

Sound familiar???

I think it’s going to be different this time around.
