[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 546143, member: 282"] Students on academic scholarship also get room and board and extra benefits. If the NCAA and schools are going to call athletic scholarships “scholarships”, then treating athletes differently shows that to be a fiction. If you’re a great bioengineering student, you don’t have to go to a transfer portal to transfer to Yale. It’s your life and your business. Non competes are for for profit businesses, and even there they are often rejected by courts as unreasonable and unenforceable, and that’s a situation where the signee is of age and might have resources to fight. This is amateur athletics, where the students aren’t in a fair bargaining position, and we can’t flip in the same paragraph to say they’re amateurs and then turn around and say they’re highly valuable resources who should be restricted but not paid what the market will bear. I’m not even saying I’d support a non compete if players were paid (I wouldn’t), but certainly not if they’re not paid market rates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
