Jefferson NOT gone.

How soon until we can put corporate logos on jerseys?

Is this sarcasm?

Wait, who's Jefferson?

Justin Jefferson, get with the program.

How on earth is there still any "they get paid in scholarships and that's enough" people? I figured seeing how much these athletes are worth would stomp that out.

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,

NFL, NBA, MLB all have salary caps. This is the same thing. You can only afford X$ per player to field a team. All teams play by the same rules and cap to ensure a level playing field. The cap changes over time, but there are still "limits" on what a player can make.

The Nike swoosh has a secret to tell you

Can we get a p hub logo on the other side? They'll probably shell out top dollar if someone finally says yes to advertising.

MLB doesn’t have a salary cap. Neither does the NBA, but they do have aprons that effectively act like a salary cap

Hahahhahaha it was joke man. I knew I shouldn't have posted in a volatile thread.

None of the teams in these salary cap leagues pay their players anything remotely close to the same amount on their own rosters.

I think it was enough. They got a monthly stipend too, albeit a small one. I would have been fine if the stipend got bumped up.

I'm also fine if we end up with a true salary cap per school. Ideally, we'd have a salary cap for each sport. And something that is affordable for at least all P5 programs.

Also, non revenue generating sports should all be cut. At least at the D1 level. The argument is that these athletes are generating millions of dollars for these schools, so they should get a bigger piece of the revenue. Therefore, athletes in sports that don't bring in revenue should be cut, or changed to non-scholarship sports, at a minimum.

Wrong. This is absolutely NOT the same thing. NFL, NBA, MLB all have Collective Bargaining Agreements. That's how they are allowed to circumvent antitrust laws. The NCAA does not. And they can't just conjur one out of thin air, or decide to make one. They need an organized labor organization to bargain with. A players union. THAT'S the difference between the sports you listed and college sports.

Ya know, I have been to the ER three times in the last two weeks and been stressed like crazy, but this thread has cheered me up big time. Or maybe it's the meds they got me on. Or a combination of both.

Never seen a thread that is all over the place the way that this one is. A lot of funny comments, a lot of very dumb comments, people losing their minds over a rumor, people attacking others (at a higher level that usually), and a few people who have been civil and making sense. Anarchy!! I love it.

And all of that was in just one of my posts...

 

[Cyclonepride]

Curious how all this is affecting the NBA/G League? You've got guys that are staying in college longer to get a bigger paycheck than they might by leaving early, and I would think the G League is going to be a huge pay cut for most players.

I agree, if that logic applies. Women's basketball, which loses millions of dollars every year and is our #1 money drain, should have been cut yesterday.

Ok, the point is that there are aprons to ensure teams dont spend more unless they want to pay crazy luxury taxes. At some point these schools need to get back to a neutral playing field that doesn't put the burden on the fans and schools at financial risk for ruin just to compete.

I'd 100% support a patch on jerseys to help NIL. That seems like a no-brainer, just look at the NBA..

Sell naming rights to Hilton, similar to Jack Trice! CyTown, presented by Vermeer! No one cares they sold the rights to JTS, so sell away Jamie to raise our $$$ to pay better players in MBB and football!

I know the NCAA is seeking an antitrust exemption with this house settlement. But is collective bargaining with employees a pre-requisite for getting an exemption? I honestly don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.

I agree with the bolded. Cut or managed as a totally separate entity, because that's what they are. Football and basketball are entirely different than the rest and should be governed accordingly.

We used to get about $70 for a weekend road trip. Also, all the chewing tobacco you want from vendors if that was your thing. Not quite breaking the bank
