Message: [QUOTE="MamesJungro, post: 4952637, member: 7293"] Look I love college sports and cuse as much as anyone, but the model isn’t broken, per say. The entire goal of the system as constructed is to generate millions or dollars without compensating the players. Those with vested financial interest in extracting money from these players without materially compensating them have come up with some really elegant, often tax deductible, work arounds with NIL, stipends, giving circles etc, If they were serious about fixing the issue they would have the players sign contracts and they would pay them. There are hundreds of u21 soccer academies around the world and in the US that do this very thing for high end prospects. I don’t think it will happen, but I literally could not thing of a worse idea than allowing private equity to start backfilling university football teams [/QUOTE]
