Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 2149749, member: 720"] Thanks for the in-depth response, and I don't disagree with much of what you say, but I still feel that you can't implement what you want to implement without some sort of regulation to it. An unchecked system of "endorsement" money for college athletes is just asking for trouble, imo. I also think that if boosters start paying athletes directly, it will hurt athletic departments' bottom lines, as those donations stop flowing through the universities and instead flow directly to players, which in turn would still end up costing the average Joe student, as universities would have to dedicate more operating money to athletic programs as donations dwindle. Now maybe that's an unlikely scenario, but I could see it being highly likely if an endorsement system is implemented with zero restrictions. [/QUOTE]
