Apparently it is already going to be more limited than what was first thought, but if it continues down this road and some players are focusing on making a profit, some players are earning considerably more than others, etc....... It is the perception to the fans of it being more like the pros and less like college. I don't like pro teams and don't want my college team to be anything like a pro team. You are talking about how it will be different as a bottom line for players. We are talking about how we enjoy what is different about college, and this could potentially change that.

Fair point. I guess ultimately I think the players trying to maximize profit are already doing it, because the best way to make maximum money is to get drafted high into the NFL.

Best shot at doing that? Play for a Power 5 school that wins & has most games televised and play as early as possible. (This is already happening)

I don't follow that logic. If the college scholarship has great value but it's not enough because money is generated, why even go if you are playing a sport that doesn't generate money? And, if it had enough value yesterday (enough for the kid to go and play) for the athlete playing that sport that doesn't generate money, then why would it change today because of the ruling?

I think it's just a money grab simply because there is money there. If football didn't generate enough money the kids wouldn't care. The system has been set up and revenue generated by the schools, not the current players. If they want to make money to play football from age 18-21 why don't they go set up their own league and charge admission and pay themselves? Ohhhh....because that isn't that easy is it?! No, so they want to grab someone else's money. I always have a hard time with someone trying to get in on something like that.

Look, I'm not necessarily against it in some fashion. But they wanted to get paid....so cost of attendance gets passed. That wasn't enough...not withstanding the fact that not all college athletes are getting the cost of attendance. Sooo, now they want more. When they get this, they will want more even still. It never ends and I think it will water down/ruin the college game in the future.

Right now we have VFL's that love to come back and be around the program. Why is that? They didn't get paid. No, they shared in a common goal/experience for 3 or 4 years that is much more valuable to them (by their actions) than any money they made after college. If you pay them, then I think the college experience gets diminished to "who is paying the most/where can I make the most". Then, that loyalty that you engender under the current system becomes less and the money issue becomes the focus.

Just my thoughts on it all.

Will TN give them a sales tax exemption? Just as burdensome.
Click to expand...

I have lived/worked in states that had high sales tax and no income tax, medium income tax and medium sale tax, and even one that had medium income tax and low food sales tax with medium regular sales tax. I have never ever payed more sales tax than I have payed in state income tax in states that had an income tax, not even close to the power of 10.

Tom Brady has more Super Bowl Rings than their have been African American quarterbacks start Super Bowls.

Doug Williams & Russell Wilson are the only ring winning African American starting QBs (1 ring a piece).

Not sure how I feel yet but I get their concern.
Summarizing

Yes they believe players are already being paid. They also believe that the amount and the system has reached another level.
They don't like the lack of parity and the influence on recruits that it's resulted in. Or the amateur feel that has already been lost in some ways.

Therefore - increase the cause, increase the effect. That's their concern.

I'm not sure that's what will happen but their argument is simple and at least worth valid consideration, imo.

Does anyone think that states with income taxes and has a major college sport will implement exemptions for those college athletes?
Click to expand...

And to add another twist to the question, would those exemptions just be for instate students? ie, player from Atlanta goes to Alabama to play, but comes back to do a signing in Atlanta and has to pay state income taxes on those earnings.

Well, unfortunately we’re a free market capitalist country.

Cause the solution to keep it amateur is to stop charging fans for tickets!!!

A Sales Tax is a consumption tax. An Income Tax is on ALL earned income.

A College athlete could CHOOSE to pay nothing in Sales Tax if they wanted to, especially considering how much is already provided for them.

Not so with an Income Tax.

California is the State that started all of this, and is also the example many keep citing. Any idea what the State Income Tax is THERE?
