In major change, college athletes set to be paid directly by schools — The Washington Post

The NCAA and major conferences agreed to a settlement that would establish a revenue-sharing model for athletes likely beginning in the fall of 2025, though many steps remain to finalize the arrangement.

Wonder how the rules will be set up

So basically, Tennessee football was just hit with an $8M fine and a loss of 2 scholarships per year over the next 5 years for paying players a fraction of what they’re going to be entitled to under this agreement.

Tennessee needs to tell the NCAA we’re keeping the $8M and sticking to 85 scholarships per year and go pound sand.

NCAA is basically a toothless tiger.

Exactly. Which is why Tennessee should tell them to eff off.

Guessing it will be years before we know. Betting a trail of smaller schools will challenge any thing NCAA throws out there that in any way impacts then. Dueling lawsuits on the horizon. The schools will make the challenges sequentially in order to avoid them being grouped in a class action suit and will be assisted by their local congressman championing his constituents favs.

Yep. Would do it and dare them to sue me. They haven’t won a lawsuit yet.

And they don’t wanna get involved in any more litigation. As this settlement shows. If the NCAA tries to punish UT for failure to honor those sanctions, UT sues, gets another injunction, and the NCAA tucks tail. Again.

I think UT will honor their previous agreement. HONOR is their brand.

Right: no guardrails, no rules, anything goes. That's what has created the current mess...It's not the NCAA's fault that schools--and their fans--are so comically insane about winning college games that they are happy to cheat, pay players, do whatever it takes to win...No entity could keep a lid on all the craziness. When a school, athletic director, chancellor and fat-cat fans agree to pay a coach $76 million (!) to stop coaching the football team, because he hasn't won enough games to please men who have too much money and too much time on their hands, because they've not been able to puff out their chests on Sundays enough times to please their demented psyches, you know the sport has jumped the shark.

You bring up a good point that it was an agreement and not a unilateral sanction. That distinction probably matters.

Selective enforcement, however, was/is the NCAA’s fault. We’ve known for years that Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, etc. were buying players. Same for multiple blue blood basketball programs. But UT self-reported the Pruitt stuff and allowed the NCAA an inside look at the entire investigation. In spite of that, the NCAA still wanted its pound of flesh from UT, while the aforementioned have gone Scot free buying championships for decades.

Hell with em. They did this to themselves.

The settlement makes funds payable to students back through participation in 2016. Put another way, that's as close as the NCAA is ever going to get to saying okay, we were wrong, it's anticompetitive for us to say students can't get paid and here's a few billion for us to make good, for anyone back through 2016. Continuing to hold universities to sanctions for payments to players, from anywhere, during the period of time that they just accepted a settlement for because they know good and well that it was going to be found to be unlawful, seems ridiculous.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

The NCAA is a useless, bloated, and biased organization that hasn’t been an advocate for student athletes for decades. I’d like to see the big conferences put together their own end of season basketball tournament and shut them down.

Whether anybody likes it or not, you realize this is a done deal, right? Quit beating the long dead horse. We’ve only heard this refrain about 100 times.

Trolling is on-brand for bruh. Bruh should delete his account. No reason for bruh to keep paying attention and posting per his own account of events. Unless he's just here to troll. In which case his account should be deleted for him.

The NCAA burns down a building, gets the owners to pay the displaced tenants back and then is empowered to manage the new building.

He’s a one trick pony on this subject. Got nothing else and just keeps repeating the same old tired line. He pines for the days of indentured servitude and it’s never coming back.

He trolls multiple sports: basketball, football, baseball. He's always just trying to start an argument and disrupt. @Freak should ban the guy. Or at least ban him from all sports forums. From his history, he mostly continually provokes, bickers, and trolls in the PF.
