Don't think I'd worry about pleasing that one, he started his posts in this thread complaining about not getting his money's worth on a completely free message board.

I'm already smoking a cigarette.
I do think there could be an incentive to a 5 star (or any athlete) to sign a guaranteed, multi-year contract. Which I don't think necessarily requires a CBA. Although it then comes down to the enforceability of non-competes, which is an open legal question these days.
Compared to the past, I don't think we're necessarily worse. But I think to make things better, the best path would be:
1) Multi-year agreements with buyouts
2) Allowing fans to benefit from "donations" by having them go to the athletic department and moving the payment to players to within the AD. Basically cutting out the collectives as much as possible. I'd also get rid of the tax deductibility of athletics donations as I don't really view it as a non-profit.
Yes to #2. JJ should have to come to my house for dinner.
I was mainly just thinking getting to sit closer to watch JJ play, but maybe if you donate enough he'll come to dinner.

The value of all that is not the point. The point is that they were artificially capped at only that.
Imagine you're a CPA and you are getting paid $100k per year. Not bad, but now let's say that all of the accounting firms decided that $100k is the max that CPAs can make. You can quit and go to another accounting firm, but they're still only going to offer you $100k. That's the part that's wrong. You're getting screwed because of the artificial limitation, regardless of if $100k is a fair wage for a CPA,
Ignore, block, mute the idiots.
1. Because their reach is compounded and you’ll think their number is more than they are.
2. Highly unlikely the idiots are giving. They’re clearly not understanding or supporting your goals.
3. They’re strangers on a message board and don’t deserve your attention by being ash*les.

Will this change prep athlete focus?
Going pro is not a guarantee, but getting DI. Scholarship is within reach for many for.
One route you’re one of 60-120 guys getting mild CTE, smaller slice of NIL pie. The other you’re 1-9 guys making 6-7 figures being somewhat competitive in your position.
He’s probably getting the happiest of endings. Just laughing at us all. Burning 100 $ bills. What has this world come to? Do I even care about college sports?
Numbers 10 thru 15 on the BB bench, anybody after number 70 on the FB depth chart and any Olympic sports athlete should be damn glad they get a scholarship. Heck wrestling has ran on partial schollies for years I believe.
It really doesn't matter that much to me my season tkts, some Ames Lager and some Wewill pizza is all I can afford to help.
I'll continue to be a ISU fan until I can't afford to then I'll watch them on TV.
How soon until we can put corporate logos on jerseys?
Damn it boys still 120ish post to go to get to 1000. CW needs his new SUV.
Some of you fools should be ashamed of yourselves but you're too stupid to know it. Idiots.

None of that is the point, though. What you or I think they should or shouldn't be feeling about their compensation means exactly ****. The very fact that you draw a line between players in your example, is perfect evidence of what I'm talking about. You acknowledge that players 1-9 on the basketball team are different than players 10-15, in skill, in ability, in value, etc. But until recently, the best player on the team, which we've already acknowledged has more value, had their compensation restricted to the same as the #10 player on the team and had no ability to get a better deal. That's about as clear cut of an antitrust violation as you can get.
