[QUOTE="Techster, post: 941351, member: 360"] I should have been more specific with the salary cap idea. Let's stop all pretenses about schools paying athletes. We all know it's been going on in some form or another as far back as college sports was being played. Let the schools pay the SAs directly from a salary cap that evens the playing field more than the "NIL". NIL as it's being used today is just another way for the school to pay players without having to get their hands in mud. The schools want the benefit of the money coming from the NIL, without the responsibility (SAs being employees, liabilities, etc.). Will there still be disparities? Of course. Will there still be schools trying to play outside of the system to their benefit? Of course. When it comes to true marketing opportunities for the SAs, there needs to be an impartial "clearinghouse" for these marketing contracts. It needs to be from real businesses or corporations that have an operating history. There isn't an easy answer to any of this. The NCAA had decades to deal with this, but they waited until the flood waters were at the doorsteps before acknowledging the tide coming in was a real threat. [/QUOTE]
