Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 5085794, member: 338"] Has there been any talk in all this of what power the NCAA actually has to set the terms of membership and participation? What can't be sued away? Can they require the players to be in school and make academic progress any more, or is that an interference with commerce (if the school is willing to pay them to play, NCAA can't impose additional requirements for that business arrangement)? Is the concept of amateur athletics completely out the window? If so, does that mean someone can go to the NFL, get cut after a year, then come back and rejoin a college team? Aren't roster sizes an unlawful barrier to participation in commerce? Teams wants to pay 200 players, so be it? I assume of course that this pay will be fully taxable. Is the "eligibility clock" also a thing of the past? [/QUOTE]
