wonder where TITle 9 comes into this...Big Five expected to announce that all starting football and basketball players have full immunity from prosecution of any state or local crimes.
wonder where TITle 9 comes into this...Goodbye football for all the other schools.
The ncaa is getting sued by so many entities, their legal team must have their heads on swivels.
This is giving up power before it is taken from you.
Standards?
We don’t need no stinkin’ standards.
No problem, that has been the lib arts dept motto for years.
IRS has been very active in redefining subcontractors and others as employees over the last few years. I expect that IRS will at some point decide that a stipend and other benefits are enough to re-class these college athletes as employees and the schools as operators of a semipro league. Then they can pay taxes with their revenues instead of funding Olympic sports.
The schools can dispense with fantasy that these players are student athletes. The unions will come in and at some point they will decide that older players that are not good enough for the NFL can still play in the college semipro league.
Weekly call girl service for starters?
It’s a fairly clever way for the NCAA to dodge the bullet. Let the super conferences make the rules, so they wind up running the NCAA instead of replacing it like they were planning. Who wants to be the NCAA pres went into that meeting asking “so what do I need to agree to to keep my cushy job?”
and let them then pay taxes on it and form unions....I don't care....but there is nothign sacrosanct about stinking college football and basketfall, and I am a season ticket holder in both...
Good move.
The it schools, the ones that actually earn money from football, should not have to subsidize the schools that play football, but lose money.
After all, the football schools are not communists.
