6k per year? Will that really blow up college football?

Ole Miss is already doing this.

Well that is all athletes, and it depends if we have the cash. Ole Miss as was pointed out it paying 415 athletes. An extra $2.5 Million, if we have it.

No, especially since players already get COL stipends and it varies from school to school.

You think it stops at 6K? It's already at 6K within months of NIL opening up ...and when paying players directly is still supposed to be against the rules. How far do you think this goes? It goes to the moon from here ...

Players will soon be running college sports programs. They make the demands. They get paid or they go.

This is America though. We think our youth should have the most say and the most power ...and should be the generation we should cater to and listen too. It's completely asinine and backwards, but that's what everyone wants.

We all cried for the poor, poor players. They get so little and are so exploited ...whine, whine, whine ...we need to make up for it and give them everything ...they deserve it! Money and power, money and power, money and power. It solves everything

Brian Kelly just left in the middle of the night before the season is over for $15 million per year.

College Athletes and Their Sponsors Face Tax Reality of NIL

All of the athletes now earning compensation—whether through promotional deals or personal business endeavors, whether endorsing products or selling non-fungible tokens—will have to remember one th…

but if the school is paying the athletes are they still independent contractors?

How about the band? At some point a band will “strike”. Those dudes do more for less than anyone on big time campuses

This will be a slippery slope

Band members can go play gigs on the weekend for money and cut albums if they want. Doesn't affect their status as a student-musician.

 

[OrangeOnions]

I'm sure for some of these athletes this will be a pay cut.

What is the connection between paying players and the BCS vs. CFP? Just trying to understand your point.

 

[All4SU]

We should just pass a hat at sporting events. Everybody throw a few bucks in.

It was a much simpler time, juco kids were all the rage and coaches weren’t stuck replacing entire recruiting classes .

So some football donors created a charity, to which they will make tax deductible contributions and then use those contributions to pay offensive linemen to show up to charity events. I guess this is a win/win/win/win as they will presumably do some good for some charity, some OL that aren't typically very marketable get NIL money, UT will use this to sell itself to better OL and the boosters get to deduct their *previously known as* bag money from their taxes.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Its obvious we need to start a syracusefan.com charity to pay athletes to come to the board for chats, that way the board can be an add free non-profit and we can hand out bags.

Ottos Oline Army.

We can pay them for proper dedication to strength and conditioning. The charity is to buy beers for old guys so they don't yell at their TVs anymore. Its a real problem. I curse like a sailor on Saturdays. I need help.
