[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1035779, member: 17953"] The problem is two-fold. It's the NIL, and then there's the issue of schools actually paying the players. This is where it gets sticky. The NIL money has absolutely nothing to do with the wages, and vice versa. The wages will fall under laws related to work issues, and the NIL is actually nothing more than a "side-gig," and shouldn't be considered as part of the wages. The NFL has rules related to wages, but they do not control the "side-gigs," which is NIL money. No professional sport even tries to do that, because they know that if they do, they're going to run smack dab into the face of labor laws, and if that happens, we're going to see the courts side with the players almost continuously. Just the thought that schools might attempt to force sharing of NIL money on a team basis would have labor law attorneys smacking at the lips, seeing easy paydays with a lot of money heading their way. In the end, schools would start dropping athletic programs one after another, because the majority of them lose money and wouldn't be affordable. It would reduce most sports on campuses to nothing more than clubs, where the players wouldn't even have scholarships, and might even have to pay for their own equipment, etc. Make no mistake about it, the face of college sports is going to change, and not for the better. You just need to realize there are two bouncing balls out there, and there's a third, which is going to be a real stickler. It's called "equal pay," under the law. Sports like fencing, etc, with equal pay, would give the participants the same money as football players, as an example. How long do you think it would take for the fencing team to disappear from the school? You can count on over half of all sports disappearing in a short period of time, when they were found to create red ink. [/QUOTE]
