Nice list of unintended consequences!
I’m sure the SC mulled it all over and thought it would be a great idea allow this half-baked plan to continue.
The NCAA is probably in a frenzied panic right now trying to figure out how to address your many and very likely issues that are looking like a light .... or train .... at the end of the tunnel.
Let the mayhem ensue ......
(for all of the nitpickers: I never said I agree or disagree that the athletes deserve or don’t deserve compensation - I’m simply acknowledging that srmanuel has pointed out some very likely landmines ahead)
My point all along is the athletes deserve some form of compensation but until some rules are in place if that ever happens, it will be chaos, some will rightfully make a ton of money, most will make nothing and a lot of people will get hurt by this ruling.
I’m a UF Gator Alum and fan, already I’ve seen a group of current players are already selling their own merchandise which is fine but if you’ve ever owned a business you need to be well aware of laws and regulations for setting up a retail business I wonder how many 18-20 year kids know that ??
BTW, if I wonder if those kids know anything about sales taxes and how to pay them or file a sales tax return and at the end of the year there is this organization called the IRS that makes the NCAA look like Boy Scouts
