[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 884360, member: 3094"] Unfortunately theres no direct way to make this better. The only thing i could think would have been a sort of profit sharing trust that paid student athletes based on Time spent on Scholarship and sport. (Duke BBall would probably get paid more than Duke FB for instance, UCONN women's BB would be paid more than others etc) That was only accessible upon graduation from the school OR 5 years from inception date. Likeness rights can be sold and if a normal student can earn money from it so can the athlete but any advertising using the school paid a portion of the contract into a pool that went toward the athletics programs and scholarships of the AD. As for transfers and player recruiting: Transfers are no longer restricted, however if you are not on a year to year scholarship you have to sit out a year. If a school offers a 5 year to play 4 scholarship. The school is forced to honor it unless the student fails to be a student and flunks out. Termination of the scholarship early by the athlete results in the sit out on transfer. Termination of it by the school allows the athlete to be paid their escrow money immediately + the remaining value of the scholarship of tuition and board. Medical scholarships remain as they are. National Signing day and all that is now completely done away with. Players can hard commit at any time by signing the contract for the scholarship. Which allows them access to the schools NIL services and allows coaches to talk about them. No more soft commits. If a coach offers a player they are offering a hard contract, if that player accepts that's that. If you offer a 5 year recruitment contract. You offered a 5 year one. If a coach is fired or leaves both parties are given an out to any recruiting contracts that are meant to take effect at the start of the football season as defined by the academic year and planned entry date. If a head coach is fired or leaves a team, all members the team on multi year scholarships can file for a single one time unrestricted transfer. Unless the reason for the coach leaving was elevation to a higher level of play such as the NFL or from DIV 1 AA to DIV 1 and at least 60 percent of the coaching staff remains intact. Players who choose to leave school early for the NFL Draft forfeit remaining years of scholarship and earnings from the school. During the course of recruitment NIL deals must be submitted to the NCAA (i know... bleh but they probably are the only ones that can do this). These deals are not hindered but are tracked. There is no maximum on the amounts but they cannot be in any way related to pay to play recruitment. (harder to do rabbits nest but by having to report them should actually help kids out with promises only for them to be rescinded later etc I don't like this but look at the case of the texas QB that basically grifted OSU legally) Justification: The biggest problem is every SA is an unrestricted free agent even in season. This is just not sustainable on any level. We will see not only a watering down of the sport but complicated schemes and really just overall quality is going to take a major dive when kids spend 1 year at one place then one year at another. I mean Imagine if someone offered Saban 200 million to coach at Miami AND take all his juniors and Seniors with him. 2 Years later he did it again etc. Something has to be done to mimic the actual contracts of professional athletes.
