Message: [QUOTE="FloridaCuse, post: 5085553, member: 8912"] A couple of additional thoughts on your great write-up. I believe that the current intention of the schools is that the athletes will not be considered employees thus possibly limiting their ability to unionize. That might be in the settlement agreement but I'm not sure. And that issue may be subject to further litigation. The schools would like Congress to legislate that. Second, while NIL is not going away and may end up being bigger, the schools want there to be some new enforcement mechanism outside the NCAA so it really is payment for NIL and not pay for play. And lastly, the reasons the agreement preserves March Madness is because the NCAA needs to have a mechanism to have the revenue to pay for their portion of the settlement over the 10 years. I think their portion is 40% of the settlement. [/QUOTE]
