Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 3778837, member: 2585"] Are you suggesting it’s a level playing field now? That’s not how taxes work for businesses? Do you pay taxes on services offered by your employer? Any $ they make from their likeness would be taxed. That’s it. Anything they pay outside of school (extra trainers) could be a tax write off. The problem isn’t that there is some compensation, the problem is that the existing compensation hasn’t kept pace with the income being brought in. Add an onerous “amateur” tag to it and keep them from making money that all other students can and you get this. There are concerns with recruiting floodgates and that kind of thing - but that is because the NCAA is toothless now and does a poor job already. Pushback from booster types is that if name and likeness becomes how they get income all their bags are subject to more interest from the IRS, etc. [/QUOTE]
