[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 960724, member: 2957"] I suppose you didn’t read it either. It clearly stated that … “A lawsuit currently underway may result in athletes being classified as [URL='https://www.reuters.com/sports/athletics/usc-ncaa-face-us-agencys-claims-that-college-athletes-are-employees-2023-05-19/#:~:text=The%20USC%20case%20is%20the,profits%20controlled%20by%20their%20schools.']employees[/URL]. That would have momentous implications for an organization (NCAA) that’s already severely diminished in importance. Realignment and virtually unrestricted transfers have fundamentally changed college football.” Why would the NFL get involved? Like most corporate enterprises, they want growth. Can they grow internationally? No. The most popular game is soccer there, not “gridiron”. Cricket of course, in India. Do they add more teams in the US? Why divide the pie? After the NFL, ”The one other sport that’s come close to achieving the ratings and cultural importance of the NFL is, unsurprisingly, NCAA football.“ Is it that hard to imagine that IF players become employees, that the NFL can absorb that along with the media rights? I think they could do it in a heartbeat. Instant, massive growth. And in a sport that is getting ever closer to the NFL game. Can schools? I doubt it. Alabama, for sure, has no mechanism to deal with players as employees. Almost any player would be in the top 1% of state earners and there’s a whole slew of laws that have to be changed to accommodate that. Would an NFL owner want a slice of the broadcasting rights in an environment he already understands for the cost of setting up an employer organization? I think yes. [/QUOTE]
