I don’t know but the labor relations board said the athletes need to be compensated if the team makes the university money and the university can’t prohibit outside work, say being in a promotion for Nike.
Universities are overwhelmingly Democrat so it makes sense they’re upset they have to pay their help. Guess they forgot the lesson Abe Lincoln taught them.
I would think the colleges would want the boosters to pay.
The colleges directly paying the athletes is the beginning of the end of women’s sports. Football and men’s basketball make money; women’s sports do not. The women will demand equal pay and the revenue is not there.
