NCAA amateurism rules are a bunch of garbageThis is really interesting and a great idea. The notion that college athletes can't profit on their celebrity has always bothered me.
Not sure the state can do that, as it violates hundreds of contracts. They also have no jurisdiction over a private entity that the kid voluntarily joins.This is really interesting and a great idea. The notion that college athletes can't profit on their celebrity has always bothered me.

NCAA can just boot Washington teams.
As my Grandmother used to say, “Be careful what you wish for, because sometimes God grants your wish.”The state has that power. The NCAA could stop or limit participation of Washington teams and athletes, but this is not going to remain a single state thing for long. Others will follow suit. NCAA money going to schools is a drop in the bucket, so the NCAA has no leverage to stop state legislatures.
I'm not sure the NCAA could boot Udub if they were forced to comply with a law that was passed by state legislature. Udub could sue the NCAA and would probably win. For the record I don't think this ever gets put to a vote.Not sure the state can do that, as it violates hundreds of contracts.

^^^^This, plus only 60+ of the >300 D-1 schools are in the P5. Does anyone think Mercer, any of the 3,000 Loyolas, Bryant, or UAlbany care If Washington or Wazzu stay in D-1? They’ll vote that rule in in a nanosecond.The NCAA can pass a rule that no institution can be a member if they are required to...
Done.
How many people outside Spokane can name 3 players on the Zags’ roster?Don’t forget that Gonzaga is located in Washington.
So the ncaa is going to kick schools out because kids can do local car commercials because of a state law they don’t control. Hilarious take.^^^^This, plus only 60+ of the >300 D-1 schools are in the P5. Does anyone think Mercer, any of the 3,000 Loyolas, Bryant, or UAlbany care If Washington or Wazzu stay in D-1?

“Hey kid, we’ll guarantee you 4 local car commercials each year at $10,000 each if you sign with us.”So the ncaa is going to kick schools out because kids can do local car commercials because of a state law they don’t control. Hilarious take.
