The NCAA is an outdated and bloated beauracracy

If schools started cancelling scholarships a lot of these kids would be saying no thanks pretty quick. But from what I've read the students that started this have been saying it's not about money. They want representation regarding practice time, travel, etc. And I can understand that. |

Meh. More than half of America voted in people who decided that Americans have no right to not purchase a product if they so desired.

Unions and management always reach an equilibrium where the company is not willing to pay more, and once schools start competing against each other I think the leverage will come down.

I can see why he says IX will have to change or go away. Each college is basically a different company. Each sport should be a different department/branch. Different pay scales as long as their is a minimum. Of course I think they should do away with athletic scholarships then also. The landscape will be changing.. |

In case it has not yet been pointed out, this ruling only applies to private schools.

Outside of commercials, everyone is going to fall under some general likeness agreement with EA, and that money will be split thousands of ways.

Other private schools, and universities whose states allow public employees to unionize would probably be able to cite it, though.

I think the athletes probably don't see the down side of this...all they see is the money someone is telling them they will get. Never turns out to be the gold mine everyone promises. |

You really think the majority of Div 1 football players are computer science, engineering or are taking advantage of internships with businesses that will all but guarantee a job after graduation? Because last I checked communication and kinesiology degrees aren't exactly lucrative.

Education is not this rare commodity that colleges hoard and dole out to a precious few. (this system actually exists in a few countries) If you have money, you can get your education, and anyone no matter how poor can get federal student loans and a part-time job. Whether the football player wastes the opportunity or not isn't relevant, the education is available even if they are not an athlete. What we are doing, is weighing the value of them not having to take out loans vs the huge pile of cash that many power schools get.
