The NCAA vs. the courts, in an effort to stop the employment model (On3)W

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...

Oh, soccer. OK thanks**

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

"...so they are hoping to have it both ways – and that will never work."
daveinop • 10/19/23 08:36 AM ET
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
