There’s still a scholarship limit and only one football.
How much is that third string 5* LB bringing in if people don’t even know who he is? And I would probably bet there’s going to be a rule that requires an athlete to be on campus for a certain amount of time.

As many have said, if this brings back NCAA Football, then that alone gets my support for the decision. But I do have some concerns on this decision, and my college football purist mentality and love for unbridled capitalism have always clashed on this subject. End of the day, I land that college football players be able to profit on their name and likeness, the regulatory scheme on it just needs to make sense. I don't pretend to know what that entails, but that's for others to figure out. And yeah, this decision only helps Ohio State.

In other words, the NCAA decides to continue existing .... rather than cutting all of CA off, letting them create a rival organization with 21st c. ideas for 21st c. problems, and dying a slow death while all athletics slowly migrate away from the detrious that is the early 20th c. NCAA ran by dinosaurs.

Great day to be a Buckeye
Wonder how on earth the NCAA thinks they will govern it... I mean doesn't this bring corrupt boosters to the forefront? Won't we see car dealers paying a guy $1M to appear in a commercial? This just feels like pandora's box.

They haven’t even written the rules yet. I think it’s a little early to be worrying about poor investments from local businesses.

Pretty sure Maybelline has deep pockets. Just saying.

That's happening now at a far more sane amount. What this does is end the charade (and the roadblock for monster northern boosters from legal sponsorships) though that may kill the dream for some.
Sidenote, who are these dealerships with millions in disposable income each year?

As opposed to a system where bama, OSU, Clemson and uga take most of the five stars, and LSU, fsu, and a few others get the rest
Meanwhile most of the B1G sign 300 players who were never offered by OSU, with maybe 2-5 that were targeted but signed with UW or Purdue. Absolutely none were even considered at Rutgers, nw, ill
In the meantime, when the next JT Barrett comes through, he can actually profit off of the likeness that espn, fox and the B1G used to sell to advertisers for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now he no longer has to wait until he is forgotten and replaced (or get those perks before his fanbase begins hating him)

Point me to the mofo that hates on JT. He/she has a rendezvous with an ass kicking.

Narrator: But, when Dabo said that, he knew his players were already well paid... and that they were being afforded the best steroids around. As a consequence, Dabo would not quit once pay was brought out into the open.
