[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 799883, member: 2332"] Maybe I'm naive, but I wonder how much 'booster money' there [I]really [/I]is that isn't already being captured by the schools' fundraising and the below-the-table money that was already happening? Even at the factories, is there an extra $10 million per year in donor/sponsor dollars that's been sitting on the sidelines? Or will this just cannibalize some of the pre-existing money and re-direct it straight to the players? For the Trevor Lawrence's of the world, star players from recruiting to the draft this will be lucrative. But for every Trevor Lawrence, there's dozens of Jacob Easons. Plus the Justin Fields and Joe Burrows. Just imagine the AD having to answer to the big time booster that gave Johnny Fivestar a million dollar signing deal when coach doesn't start him and he transfers. Maybe instead of offering that transfer QB 150K under the table they're offering it as an endorsement deal. I could see this being bad for the big schools. They'll wind up competing with their own players for those donor/sponsor dollars. They'll have star players distracted by all the things money brings. They'll have former 4*s even more mad about playing time because the guy ahead of them got a big $$ deal. (Or they get a bonus for every catch/sack/TD they record and the coach isn't calling their #.) The NFL deals with that stuff. But [I]they [/I]pay and employ their players. The colleges want to be hands-off of this but also let their players get paid. This could be a disaster. [/QUOTE]
