[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 790135, member: 572"] My well-known stance is the following: [LIST] [*]Amateurism is a crock of ****. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have the cheating we do on the fringes of football & basketball. [*]Schools should not pay athletes directly. They should provide the current opportunities already in place (scholarship, room & board, COA stipend). This needs to be on an equal basis for all athletes, regardless of sport. No real change from where we are today. [*]Student-Athletes should be able to seek out external opportunities that pay them based on the free market. If the free market offers an S/A $0, that's an acceptable outcome. If it's an absolute free-for-all putting some schools at a disadvantage because they don't have the external support from boosters & businesses, that's an acceptable outcome. The free-for-all part is probably where [USER=3240]@crut[/USER] & I traditionally have opposing views. [*]Student-Athletes that earn from these external, free market opportunities should pay taxes, obviously. [*]Student-athletes that earn from these external, free market opportunities should need permission of the school to use their copyrighted IP and pay them for its use. I'm 100% in favor of NIL, but it's a two-way street if you want to wear your school uniform, as opposed to generic school colors. [/LIST] So tell me... what are the negatives to be immune to? Getting no external compensation if the free market isn't offering it? The fact student-athletes across all sports will earn the same scholarships that have been earned by them for decades because that's how universities allocate their athletic revenues, private philanthropy, & endowments? Is it just the simple notion that if a sport doesn't earn revenue, it should be cut? [/QUOTE]
