A Football Jersey with Players NAME & NUMBER Sold By the School

That is the basic type violation those schools were guilty doing in "stealing" from the athletes as you put it. Didn't know there was stated law against that. If it was illegal? The school should have been Fined to the Extreme. That would have stopped those jerseys or whatever from being sold. That was the way to handle it. Not literally to open a Pandora's Box of possible corruption. Those athletes were provided an avenue to get a free education and hone their bodies to a highly skilled level where a few could advance into Pro Sports. That was enough. Opening up an avenue for agents & attorneys to collude with naive teenagers with millions of dollars tossed around was not the answer. That Transfer Portal is a horrendous concept as well. It is asinine to watch that play out over a season. All that NIL & Portal are just getting going. Hasn't really set in yet. Those coaches making $6 Million & $8 Million a year. It is like winning the lottery. People are going to tire of supporting a sport that is literally more corrupt than the NFL. That Transfer Portal makes college football more corrupt. If you think all this will fly long term. Go ahead believing that. Attendance for football games has already been dropping. Those coaches salaries probably being main reason for that. I have made a comment or two on Hog YouTube Boards vaguely criticizing Jerry Sexton and the quick doubling of the millions in dollars he gets Hog coaches when they have just a little initial success after being hired. I said the program is being ruined by that, the job is just about money. That last sentence is the crux of my comment. However those comments get soon removed. It is a NERVE. Even those moderators on those boards know it is a no no. You are not suppose to discuss Facts.

I am convinced this whole thing will be screwed up over greed

NIL/employee status is being decided in courts, not by schools/conferences

Then Selling Products With College Player's Names & Images Should Have Been

I really think that this is what ND admins were talking about
PaNDalum 03/24/23 09:23 PM ET
Where did this idea come from that athletes would not attend class?
33laszlo99 03/25/23 03:20 PM ET
There is a lot of talk...especially in the SEC...
TerryD 03/26/23 06:30 PM ET
I think this is a misguided effort. It will fail to launch.

I see what you did there, good one!**
Stech 03/24/23 09:37 PM ET
Wow. Massive revelation.**
Maroon Baboon 03/24/23 09:30 PM ET
Well if you are an ND grad you mourn either choice: lose-lose
PaNDalum 03/24/23 09:38 PM ET
You won't hear gloating from me. I would respect that actually.**

The gloating the day it happens will be immense, and at this point that

When conferences went beyond round robin play, they kinda lost me.
Maroon Baboon 03/26/23 12:43 PM ET
ND fans can't think of anything more....

Femoyer Hokie 03/26/23 01:08 PM ET
Having a bunch of Protestants have any control over ND?
TerryD 03/26/23 06:21 PM ET
Yes, we should have been more proactive
goldendomer 03/25/23 11:38 AM ET
The only question left for ND is: SEC, B1G, or what FCS conference to join?**
tarheelblue 03/25/23 03:05 PM ET
Near term nothing. long-term? The Big 10.**
goldendomer 03/25/23 03:38 PM ET
got a question
Mercury 03/24/23 08:20 PM ET
The elephant in the room is the media contracts. They are going to lobby

1. The best players will go to the big money. 2. Notre Dame sees the B1G
Maroon Baboon 03/24/23 04:08 PM ET
The Big12 was left for dead, but turned into a pretty fun conference

Let's get it over with.
33laszlo99 03/24/23 02:26 PM ET
If they are employees wouldn’t that derail Title IX scholarships?……
CrystalCoveHokie 03/24/23 02:32 PM ET
Whether Title IX will still apply to these employees is an open question.
tarheelblue 03/24/23 02:58 PM ET
Question has been asked and answered
mrcaniac 03/24/23 04:04 PM ET
That's nice, but...
tarheelblue 03/24/23 05:27 PM ET
I'm guessing their union will ask for equal pay.
33laszlo99 03/24/23 05:37 PM ET
I'm guessing that football players will have their own separate union.
tarheelblue 03/24/23 07:22 PM ET
You've gone a step beyond me. Blue.
33laszlo99 03/24/23 03:28 PM ET
I think all athletes in all varsity sports will be paid.
33laszlo99 03/24/23 02:42 PM ET
Why not farm out the football and basketball programs.....
