Should college coaches be able to cut scholarship players? I started thinking about this because of the current changes. If players are going to get financial compensation for playing, should they be subject to being cut if they fail to perform? I get that they're not technically being paid to play, they're being paid for their name, image, and likeness, but if we're being honest, they're getting paid to play. So if that's the case, should they be subject to the expectations of a job where failure to perform can lead to being let go? I can see arguments for both sides. Not all scholarship kids are going to benefit from the NIL, but, at the same time, the players themselves have really brought NIL into the picture, so should there be consequences to its addition? The whole thing is a can of worms, and there absolutely should be uniform rules and regulations to the process to create a fair playing field, but with the NCAA losing its teeth on the subject (thanks to SCOTUS), who has the authority to create and enforce those rules?
