Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 4256633, member: 2585"] I've heard a lot of thoughts on paying athletes as being horrible and one we might bow out of. But if you hate the pure free market NIL and the thought of our best players getting poached on the regular by the SEC and B1G with little recourse - than maybe pay to play has some advantages? If you're paying a player, there is a contract involved. Contracts can have clauses where you'd have to be traded, or there's a transfer fee (like soccer). Unions can be helpful and hurtful to the cause as well. I don't know that we'd do this. But it is interesting to think about the positives of being a professional, namely you'd get all of the established rules that govern employment. [/QUOTE]
