Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 5634310, member: 338"] Don't laugh, I have thought about that several times in the past few years. It is pay to play in some sense while the guys are still on a college team. You can't disentangle the two completely. What gives the player value to the fanbase is his presence on the team, and in almost all cases that's not portable across fanbases. But I suppose there could be a demonstrable business benefit to having, say, Angeli repping your pizza joint, and the whole thing is siloed for "Cuse people". But still, I'd like these NIL deals to have a measurement aspect. It shouldn't be just "rational basis" to get approval, there should be a way to quantify and measure whether the intended business benefit accrued. And there should be consequences if not. The revenue share is a much better way, and I very very strongly believe that it should be the only way to pay the players, in almost all cases. [/QUOTE]
