Yes, not in the current structure. But when they are deemed employees and

collectively bargain it will. That's the only way this is sustainable and both schools and players understand that long-term. Once "contracts" become voided with injuries and the continued wild west of the portal (like Mensah) will drive both to want some level of protection..

There needs to be a salary cap to try and control the madness **
solareye • 01/16/26 06:07 PM ET

Hoakie82 • 01/17/26 02:00 PM ET
Players only.**
solareye • 01/17/26 08:43 PM ET
Fortunately, that will never happen**
AirborneHokie96 • 01/17/26 09:00 PM ET
Yes it will. There won’t be a long time where college players make more

Even though I don’t like duke I feel bad for them
CvilleHokie04 • 01/16/26 05:38 PM ET
So it turned out to be a 1 yr., 8 million deal**
GCHokieof91 • 01/16/26 07:43 PM ET

CvilleHokie04 • 01/16/26 07:52 PM ET
If they plenty of time to sign a top shelf QB1 they might be tempted to ...
Atlee Hokie • 01/16/26 09:37 PM ET
I hope Duke does sue. The case would be
GCHokieof91 • 01/16/26 08:12 PM ET
Duke owns the NIL contract though.
RJHokie • 01/16/26 05:47 PM ET
Always good when scUM gets screwed. Go IU.**
Atlee Hokie • 01/16/26 09:29 PM ET
