"...so they are hoping to have it both ways – and that will never work."

truer words were never spoken; and it's why the NCAA has a history of significant defeats in court. relying on congress? in my lifetime, the congress has never been more dysfunctional than it is now; they can't get out of their own way. so it will be up to the courts and the NCAA will lose...again. and fwiw, nothing prevents any level of the NCAA from having a student-athlete model; they just have to stop focusing on how much money they make. but like any good addict, they won't do that and they'll blame everyone else; but all of their woes are self-inflicted. i have zero sympathy...and really...zero concern

I think its interesting the spokesmen comes from ohio

Should colleges get out of the football and basketball sports business?
EDGEMAN • 10/20/23 06:10 AM ET
The nfl makes huge profits how bout to the students
Mercury • 10/20/23 07:19 AM ET
The NFL doesn't need to do that, they only want 250 of the roughly 3,500 D1
VTNuke • 10/22/23 10:27 AM ET
How about the NFL team pays the school the player came from when...
EDGEMAN • 10/23/23 04:31 PM ET
Zero incentive for the NFL to do this
mrcaniac • 10/23/23 09:57 PM ET
Why would the NFL do that? And how does that help the players?
VTNuke • 10/23/23 09:34 PM ET
Not realistic, Title IX, tax exempt status, both stand in the way of that
Vienna_Hokie • 10/22/23 10:05 AM ET
If football and basketball become semi-pro sports (more than they are now)
EDGEMAN • 10/23/23 06:28 AM ET
If they are affiliated with the schools, using facilities...
Vienna_Hokie • 10/23/23 08:53 PM ET
But once they become "employees," everything changes.**
EDGEMAN • 10/23/23 10:33 PM ET
Not necessarily because Title IX doesn't just apply to students.
VTHokie2000 • 10/24/23 06:37 PM ET
No school is going to take a "Title IX doesn't apply to this" stance
mrcaniac • 10/24/23 11:14 PM ET
That is likely true which makes things interesting given the trajectory
VTHokie2000 • 10/25/23 01:22 PM ET
They will be classified as employees also
mrcaniac • 10/25/23 03:22 PM ET
That is the most likely outcome which could influence how many schools opt
VTHokie2000 • 10/25/23 05:24 PM ET
The answer to that question will depend on the application of Title IX.
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/23 04:52 PM ET
That's sort of what Fox and ESPN are doing now...only funding a small...
EDGEMAN • 10/20/23 08:13 AM ET
agree. now its going to be transparent.**
Mercury • 10/20/23 08:38 AM ET
Time to have a college "pro" division with no finance rules.
EDGEMAN • 10/21/23 08:06 AM ET
Let the P2 have their own basketball tournament, and college world series
Big12 guy • 10/23/23 10:49 AM ET
I like the EPL model, where teams that suck move down, and the best...
EDGEMAN • 10/21/23 08:08 AM ET
Help me out Edge, what is EPL model?**

Check out Promotion and relegation section of this link
EDGEMAN • 10/22/23 04:12 AM ET
Oh, soccer. OK thanks**

I'd love to see Terry Tate pay a visit to Joe Manchin.**

The only way they will get around paying student athletes is through
Big12 guy • 10/19/23 11:04 AM ET
Nope, paying employees has nothing to do with their 501(C) status
Vienna_Hokie • 10/22/23 09:59 AM ET
non-profits can make money and have employees
daveinop • 10/21/23 05:50 PM ET
Paying players will not affect Non-profit status. Non-profits typically
