Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4635852, member: 5685"] I mentioned it before... IMO the best solution is for schools to split their sports into amateur non profit sports and for profit sporting clubs. Going that route will stop the madness. So in SU's case we would have: Amateur Sport Teams (no TV revenue, no ticket revenue, etc) Men's and Women's Cross Country Men's and Women's Rowing Men's Soccer Men's and Women's Track Field Hockey Women's Lacrosse Women's Tennis Women's Volleyball Softball Women's ice Hockey Sporting Club Teams Men's and Women's Basketball Football Men's Lacrosse Women's Soccer Sporting Club Teams are non academic. Kids are there to play sports and are paid. Schools sign kids to 5 year deals. If a kid wants to leave they need to have their new school or their pro team buy out their contract. Athletes are limited to U23, so they need to be younger than 23 before the start of a season. That prevents career players. [/QUOTE]
