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

Pretty good indication that athletes being employees is probably the right idea.

just sayin': For an equal playing field the players union would probably negotiate with the NCAA for how to divvy up the $20.5M (House vs NCAA settlement). The problem is the (almost endless amount of) NIL money some school have. I can't see the players union ever agreeing to a overall "salary cap" that would include NIL money. You look at MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, the union and leagues negotiations just concerns what the teams pay they players. All the professional athletes are on their own for endorsement deals and some of the top athletics make a whole lot more than what their team is playing them in endorsements/appearances/autographs, etc.

Does anybody have a recommendation on how early to get to the WF match tomorrow at 2pm? I suspect have to stand waiting in line for a while, I think doors open 1hr before match? I was thinking of getting there at noon but not excited about standing in the cold for an hour or two.

Because the OSU women’s team is hosting #14 ranked Virginia Cavaliers starting at 11 am.

HS kids will have to learn that unless you’re game changing you aren’t making shit and you’d better stay put for years 1-2. Years 3-5 is where all the money is going.

As was pointed out. If these kids don’t adjust they’re going to end up out of football by the age of 20. I wonder what long term impact this will have on kids.

I think like most things in life, it depends on the family dynamic and socioeconomic standing of the kid. And unfortunately many of these poor urban and rural kids, sports is the way out for many of them. Without it, many would be back at the local factory, construction site, some type of dead end job and hopefully not ending up on illegal means. For many family’s sad to say, this kid is the hope for them to have some type of family financial success. A lot of pressure for a teenager.

But I agree that a number of kids would’ve been better off staying at their first school.

I did. Beanie was great. Too bad he got hurt vs Texas in the bowl game or else we win that one going away

We’ve had some great ones….before Maurice it was Robert Smith. Before that the recruiting was not so national. But if it were Byars would have been like this.

He was so good coming out of HS. Never should of wrestled 197 (he was 220 in HS and cut to 97kg for Greco). But he couldn't beat Hilger and Hilger got an extra year. Injuries got him too. Been a fan since he was in HS.

And yes, "beefed up" indeed.

Agreed, he was a monster. I thought OSU was in a great position to land him. His run in the junior worlds was pretty special too. I watched his matches on Flo. It was exciting for sure. I’m wondering if his run is buried in YouTube someplace. It’s worth the watch.
