[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 808662, member: 2426"] I do believe that is the one that I had seen. According to an article that I just read from a few years ago, the NCAA's "compromise" would have been that he could have been on Youtube, but he couldn't say anything about being an NCAA athlete and would have had to take down any videos that indicated he was. In other words, 20 hours a week (by the NCAA's way of doing math) of his life wouldn't be available for discussion on his channel. I looked up revenue estimates for his channel and they think he makes about $1 million per year from Youtube. I don't think the NCAA was in the right, but I think he made the right decision for himself. I believe you and I would disagree about directly paying NCAA athletes for recruiting and performance. I do think it will be difficult to prevent the factories from using this system to directly pay athletes quasi-within the rules. However, the NCAA has absolutely not done anything about factory schools making direct payments to athletes. Factories can have text messages of payments, they can have payments made on national TV broadcasts, with no real action. GT on the other hand gets hammered for $300 worth of clothes and shoes that are returned. So they haven't actually gone after schools that intentionally break the rules, but they prevent an FCS kicker from making $1million per year and prevent a gymnast from making $1million in 1 day. Either of those can easily pay school tuition, fees, books, living and travel expenses without an NCAA scholarship. I don't think the scholarship would be of any value to either, but the opportunity to compete probably is. [/QUOTE]
