Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Jaxbuck
This sounds familiar

As the college sports structure evolves, it might even be beneficial for some schools if they could simply let investors fund the roster, pay the coaches and take on the profit/loss risk. In exchange, the school would get paid for use of facilities and trademarks to fund their other sports.

and yes, already happening to a degree

In a sense, it's already in motion. Utah finalized a nine-figure deal with Otro Capital earlier this year, forming a new company that will handle revenue-generating aspects of the athletic program. Michigan State just unveiled a new athletic department structure with $100 million in seed money, part of which is a for-profit subsidiary called Spartan Media Ventures where investors will get a return.

In early August, LSU is gathering donors at the governors' mansion for a "first look at an alternative revenue-generating opportunity for LSU athletics that is first of its kind nationally and could quite possibly change the future of college sports in America," according to the invitation. It's expected to include some type of structure where investors/donors could buy a "share" of a privatized athletic department.

If Neon and Butch were around in 2026, they'd both be getting similar deals :lol:

People smoking/vaping marijuana at parks, in their cars, outside stores/restaurants.

I am so sick of it. The horrible smell is EVERYWHERE!

GTFOH!

We lived in downtown Denver when Colorado, along with Washington, became the first state to legalize recreational marijuana. Being first attracted tons of young marijuana "lifestyle" people to the state. Most of our commute was walking the mile or so length of the 16th street pedestrian mall that goes through downtown Denver and we'd get asked for weed money by these 18-25 year old derelicts 3-4 times per commute. That was even more annoying than the smell, which was omnipresent but bothers me less than it bothers many other people, including my wife. It's somewhat better now, probably because many other states have legalized and because young people are leaving Denver because it has become unaffordable.

The Buckeyes announced Tuesday that Chase Bank will become the first-ever jersey patch sponsor for all 36 of Ohio State's varsity sports as part of an agreement between the university and JPMorganChase. We've compiled more than 25 photos showing the Chase Bank logo on Ohio State football, basketball, hockey, wrestling and other uniforms in the gallery above.

While Ohio State did not disclose the financial terms of the partnership, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported the deal is expected to generate nearly $17 million annually for the Buckeyes. In addition to the jersey patch sponsorship, JPMorganChase will provide NIL opportunities and financial literacy resources to Ohio State athletes through "dedicated programming," according to a news release.

Per 11w poster:

No way would expect OSU not only to give him a 7 figure deal that high, but in no way would I want them to also provide PJ access to his family.

Kudos to him for getting it though. Get paid young man
