Well, say goodbye to most Olympic and women's sports then. It will be interesting to see how schools will simultaneously have to comply with Title IX while also paying the athletes of the only profitable sports.
Only Justice who seems even a little on NCAA side is Breyer but only to the point he doesn’t know how far court should go in ruling.
That's why so many people pack into state gym to watch college kids play pick up games.
This has been my biggest beef with people's arguments about the NCAA and compensation of athletes. Everybody wants to say the "NCAA" and "Schools" are making huge money off of the athletes, and never want to put names to it. When it comes down to it, it isn't really the conference commissioners, NCAA heads, School Presidents or ADs that are getting ridiculously rich off this. Or, more accurately, you could put a hard cap on salaries for all those people at $1 million/year and give all that money to the athletes and it will be almost meaningless money.
The coaches are the individuals you can point to and say they are ones getting rich off college athletes. The bottom line is most of us like our coaches, and don't want to accuse them of exploiting these kids. But if people are saying that college athletes are being exploited, you have to be willing to say their coach is exploiting them. The Jay Bilas stance that the players are being exploited, but it's by some mythical old white guy with a monocle in an ivory tower at the NCAA or Universities is idiotic. Why people think he's some voice of reason is beyond me when he wants the money to keep going to facilities and the coaches, the very people getting nearly all the money from the sports.
Only one thing is certain in all this, and that is JorBo must be paid!
If I was an Olympic sports athlete, I would be a little nervous about this. You will see a lot of programs get cut.
It's embarrassing how many people are hung up on the notion that the only definition of "salary" is a paycheck.
Yeah, the dumb a$$ keeps leaving his sneakers behind. Poor little shoeless idiot.........
I wonder what happened to that pair. I can only hope that Niang got a hold of them somehow and will figure a way to troll Hawks with them someday.
Have any of the justices asked the NCAA lawyers why some schools like Kansas CAN pay their athletes?
