NCAA To Stop Selling Jerseys Effective Immediately

[Mr.Black]

only college jerseys i ever wore was the gold michigan jawns so i dont give a fukk

You keep saying this b/c you heard Bomani Jones say it over and over, but lets be real here......scholarships are considered payments, and if not, do you condone paying students given schollys for academic purposes?

Also, how about this....if you're gona pay players, then take away their schollies, since according to you they aren't of any fair value???

how is a scholly considered payment for an athlete?

They earn their scholly and much more

Answer my questions tho....

and then answer these......

Do you think every player on the team who puts on the jersey deserves to be paid? How are you gonna differentiate who gets paid, how much? And again, what about the smaller D1 schools who DON'T pull in large amounts of revenue....the schools who can't even sell out half their stadium?

If a scholly is not payment, then take it away. Pay them "real money" like you suggest and out of that real money let them pay their tutition, food, etc. like everyone else.

 

[mozichrome]

man lets pay the players for their marketability & get it over with
we can have this happen again with the Death Penalty stuff



because you know, as soon as players are able to get paid wealthy alums that want to see their school at the top will start paying. teams at the top will pay even more. lets start Free Agency in College Football

 

[Maschine_Man]

I agree that the players should get paid. But lets be honest. Its too fukked up and would honestly be WORSE than the system is now.

How would players get paid? based on individual popularity? based on school? based on sport?
who determines who gets what? Will there be an overall "blanket" pay for atheletes

Do the football players get more(or less) than the basketball players or swimmers or rugby players,etc??

for real, it would just be a fukkin shyt show.

I definitely think the money should be going back to atheletes.

NOW.....what I think would be the best thing to do is to just keep everything the way it is. and let the players get that money based on what they can get.

Fukk it, let dudes get free tattoos and clothes for their services. let dudes get money for autograph sessions. let these dudes get theirs.

As long as it doesn't interfere with the integrity of the school/ncaa then let it be.

but let be honest. the NCAA ain't gonna be giving out pay cheques to athletes. But they sure as hell shouldn't be cockk blockin dudes from gettin their $$. especially in the "offseason"

The big 12 commish hinted towards a solution

The huge conferences needs to be in a different league governed by different rules than the rest if college football

You create set aside a chunk of the TV revenue every year in a trust

Create some formula that weights playing time and some other shyt

And pay players a lump sum at the end of the season

 

[the cac mamba]

i think that the players should be gettin paid, at least when you look at how these cocksuckers profit off them

but on the flipside, how the fukk are you really gonna start payin players? contracts and shyt? if anyone has any idea how theyd pull it off in a consistent way id like to hear it

actually, what dude above said. ideally they shouldnt be gettin paid by the league for playing but they should be able to make as much as they can from appearances, direct jersey sales, and autographs n shyt. that way the payment is directly correlated to how talented/how much hype the player generates

shyt like the manziel story is disgusting when you look at the administraor's salaries

 

[AVXL]

You pay people with Money



These are not real issues that would arise from paying players

You have those issues currently and some of that is nonsense

Schools are not subsidizing shyt

These players earn that scholarship and much more

Boosters being actively involved in the recruiting of a player isn't bad for college sports?

You're gonna have players basically gettin recruited to the highest bidder...it'll be billionaire booster vs. billionaire booster with plenty of side money (none of which is taxed which is another issue) for these recruits. It could get REAL ugly & compromises the integrity of the sport

And I don't kno if you're being naive or ignorant, but schools are absorbing the cost of the football program. Football aint free

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

There needs to be some system but it really would be too hard to figure out in terms of "fairness".

The NCAA needs to stop being a$$holes with student athletes because they admit kids strictly based on athletic ability. They need to put an emphasis back on getting these kids degrees because these scholarships don't mean shyt if the kids aren't learning something they can use to make money. Their schedules and scholarships demand they place a bigger emphasis on sports than graduating.

I like the idea of somehow having like a trust fund for the athletes where they get money after they graduate. Have it as kind of a carrot on a stick and try and get these kids to graduate. If you leave school early to go pro you sacrifice that money. It's not perfect but it'd be nice to try and help these kids in life instead of trying to maximize profit while not really caring about the supposed "great, free education" theyre getting.

 

[mozichrome]

Everyone else in college sports has an organization of their own. There's no independent union or organization speaking for athletes. In 1980, we actually got an organization funded by the federal government. The organization, known as the center for athletes rights in education, died broke less than two years after it was formed. Since 2001, the collegiate athletes coalition, backed spiritually and financially by the united steelworkers union, has been demanding ahair at the ncaa bargaining table.

well the players have an union, but it certainly holds no power

The question is, can the schools still sell jerseys individually w/o the NCAA logo?

I asked that earlier in the thread, too. Haven't seen an answer on here, yet.


This is what I'm thinking...


The colleges don't make the apparel, so it's really the brands that control the apparel from the factory to the college bookstores and other retail shelves.

The NCAA licenses the apparel, so I dunno if various clothing brands can offer up the jerseys for retail sale. From here on out, schools might not have any jerseys to sell because the brand(s) can't get the jerseys licensed.

I'm sure the brands could ignore, but a lawsuit would soon follow.

Holy shyt it's like when big tobacco had to admit shyt

 

[HiphopRelated]

The school doesn't have to pay players, they just shouldn't be allowed to restrict them from earning. Once they aren't doing some crazy shyt like gambling on games...let them boys cook.

Pretty much. People overcomplicate the shyt. If a player can get some money for his signature, or tatts for some game worn gear, or a house for his parents then let him. If a player can't command any of those things then you got a free education. shyt is too simple.

Monies recieved from schools should be based off parents income. Sometimes it pays to be broke.
