I probably would.

Note: I spent 20 years in the Army so I am pretty much retarded.

How many guys here would vote for rules restricting what they can make in their chosen profession?

Just curious.

NFL players agreed to a salary cap, in order to maintain some semblance of competitive balance. Sports leagues are a little different than most businesses because the interest of most fans requires their teams to have a reasonable chance.

The NCAA is different than a pro sports league due to 130+ football teams and 300+ basketball teams. I don’t know how the various leagues are going to agree to limits on NIL and transfers, but I think Colorado football is now over 100 transfers in the last 2 1/2 years. That’s just nuts and I think University presidents and chancellors will try to curb that since it makes a mockery of collegiate ‘student-athletes’.

I‘m waiting for some billionaire from a small college to pay a few million each to 5 guys to make a run in the NCAA hoops tournament, since it’s a lot easier to buy a competitive hoops team.

Only a 75% retard here.

In most pro sports (MLB excepted), players collude to suppress their wages. It's called collective bargaining. It seems to work pretty well.

That is the point I am making though. In pro sports the players are in a union, they collectively bargain the "rules" of how they are compensated to include things that would put limits on any one individuals ability to earn.

In the non unionized/collectively bargained world, the owners cannot get together and agree to "rules" that would put limits on what a guy can make. That is the whole premise of the anti trust laws and where the NCAA got slapped down by the SCOTUS (as my non lawyer mind understands it).

People are asking for rules first (before collective bargaining) and I am curious who thinks it would be ok for some arbitrary group to make up "rules" that would impact what a doctor, lawyer, tradesman, consultant, professional manager etc can make when those professionals had no say in the creating of said rules? My guess is no one if they are seriously thinking about it.

I’d say the AMA does things to limit how many people can become doctors, in a similar way to the NFL players/teams limiting how many people can enter the NFL via their 3-years out of high school rule, which I view as age discrimination.


And I’m sensitive to age discrimination against my youthful self!
