[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 875309, member: 282"] At a state level, I don't think anyone will want to put their universities at a recruiting disadvantage vs other states that don't tax those benefits. At a national level, I don't see anyone pushing that as a law. Even if players wanting money is unpopular, the NCAA administration is still less popular. If athletes get these benefits taxed, in some ways it further strengthens the argument that they should be paid. And if it's a job, why even go to class and get tutoring? I suspect he thinks the product = ratings/interesting TV/sustainable and profitable business model. More than that, Mandel is using squishy language because his original opinion was hammered effectively by nearly everyone and he's trying to recover after putting his foot in his mouth. It'd be a lot easier and more effective for him to say "well, I screwed that one up" and move on. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the NCAA. Maybe they'll decline gradually, then suddenly [Thanks Hemingway]. Maybe they'll transform. So far, they've shown little sign of adapting to a new reality. [/QUOTE]
