Media types are piling onto the NCAA over this Miami stuff, and I don't understand why. Miami is rough ridin' guilty as hell. Who cares if the NCAA went a different route to get evidence? It doesn't make the evidence untrue.
What the eff takes the place of the NCAA? Are they advocating "nothing?"
No rules, just the wild west? Really?

NCAA is an organization formed by the University Presidents. What in the eff would Universities gain by breaking away from their own organization? All the rules are based on non-payed athletic students that make them millions...billions. So why even bring up the idea of getting rid of the NCAA. *IMO this is a very stupid talking point. :dubious:
* Not your post, but the stupid things the media and some posters come up with.

Too many letters in NCAA, that's why Pete. NFL, NBA, MLS, MLB, NHL....I mean would it kill them to shorten it to three letters?

Some people I know call it the "NC Two A." But most folks I know call it the "NC Double A." Shortening to three letters would resolve this. (That said, I find "NC Double A" to be better, and more likely what the founders intended).
-
This is going to end with Miami killing some NCAA guys and ending up in a cabin, which the NCAA then sets on fire.
-
I think they would advocate for a separate league without all the red tape where presumably there would be less standards and players could be paid big bucks.
I don't think it's going to happen, and if it did, it would probably be devastating for schools like K-State.

Jay Bilas is such a rough ridin' loser.

These media types that are opining on this are a joke.
Most of these are the same ones lamenting conference expansion for destroying tradition making the game less desirable. What the hell happens if there is no NCAA watching out for this stuff? Absolute chaos. The conferences don't have the money to police the sports. The rich would get infinitely richer, and the poor would die off.
One of the examples they gave is how you can't have a side job and be a full scholarship D1 athlete. You know why that rule is there? Because schools like OU and Alabama had players getting paid shitloads to do nothing as "jobs" (e.g. Bozworth watching an oil well go up and down).
-
Yeah, the NCAA has no real power over conference realignment.
They do need reform, but it's the schools and their Pres's that are responsible for doing that.
My problem with the NCAA is that I think that have a bias against football in their enforcement because they derive very little of their revenue from football, I also think things have gotten way to cushy for NCAA executives, but that's a problem at a lot of non profits these days.

Dont think this is true. Yamon Figurs used to was dishes at Bolos and Reggie Walker was a bouncer at Tubbys.

Yeah, it's not true. You just can't have a side job like that OU QB had where he didn't have to go to work and got to drive around new cars all the time.

There is absolutely no reason why players cannot profit from their likeness or get paid endorsements. If you're going to continue to force football and basketball to subsidize all other non-revenue sports you have to compensate the players in some way. College degrees are getting to be worth less and less everyday.
-
Many coaches DON'T ALLOW their players to have side jobs.

They are actually becoming more valuable. The investment in a college education is becoming poorer, due to rising costs, but the athletic scholarship covers all of that. If anything, a full ride is more valuable than it has ever been.

That's fair, but the NCAA received 705 million dollars just for the broadcast rights to the NCAA tourney last year (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Finances/Revenue). Is a college degree alone really a fair compensation?

That's a communist's way of looking at things, really. If it were completely unfair, schools would not be able to find quality athletes willing to play without pay.

Asking why a group of people aren't compensated beyond a worthless PE degree for generating hundreds of millions of dollars for a bunch of suits is a communist's way of looking at things?

Nobody is forcing them to work for free, yet the best high school players in the world line up and hope they can get in.

lol hope that they can get in? The schools BEG the best high school players to come to their school because the best athletes make the school shitloads of money with almost 0 costs to the school. Mark Zuckerberg can get a free computer science degree from Harvard while creating facebook in his spare time and can profit as much as he wants while remaining in good standing with the school. Why does having athletic talent as opposed to computer programming talent restrict you from profiting? And don't say they don't have to go to college; the NCAA is the only amateur institution that offers the exposure and training needed to pursue any type of professional career in athletics (excluding 2-3 high school basketball players per year). Of course it’s not the only way you can become a professional athlete, but trying to bypass the NCAA and still make it the pros has proven to be extremely difficult. If football/basketball players received universal stipend relative their sports worth and could profit off their likeness would everything really devolve into chaos?

Almost no division 1 athlete gets into the school that they would choose to go to if they could just pick one. They submit videos, hope they get asked for an official visit, and then choose out of the schools that are willing to take them.

Nobody is stopping somebody from creating a semi-pro league that takes athletes straight out of high school and competing with the NCAA. Nobody does that because they would not be able to afford to pay them enough to make their offer a better deal than the full ride scholarship they are getting from universities.

What if you got a degree that only qualified you work for only one mega corporation; but if you work for them and are really good, you may get selected for an elite corporation that would pay many hundred times of what you are getting at the company that brought you in as a low payed intern. IS THAT FAIR? Because that's what high school althelics face with the pre-NFL tryout schools(NCAA).
-
I guess not all side jobs are created equally. A guy recently wasn't allowed to stay on scholarship if he was a musician earning money for performances.

Yes, it's perfectly fair.

Would this semi pro league enjoy tax exempt status?

doesn't the side job rule only let you make like 2k or 4k or something a year. it was some ridiculously low amount.

If it's such a good thing for athletic students, then the non-taxed sports profits of NCAA schools should pay the coaches only a limited pay based on what the other professors make. Also, they are to not make any side money. I mean, crap, the NCAA makes it so the athletic students are not allowed to make any money off the games that it's OK for AD to make all they can get from those same games that the kids put their health in pearl for. We all know the answer to that.
-
I don't necessarily agree that they should share the tv revenues and profits, because there is really no way to establish the additional revenue that one player brings in vs the other. I do however, think it's bullshit that Varney's can hang "7" and "22" jerseys in the window all day long, sell a shitload of them, and then act like Collin Klein and Rodney McGruder aren't the reason that they are buying those jerseys. Granted, there are some people who would buy a k-state bball and football jersey regardless, but there is a reason we're not selling Shawn Meyer and Stanton Weber jerseys.

Makes sense. A bunch of the football players worked security at some bars last FPD.

A good solution would be offering student-athletes a big payday when they graduate. That would encourage them to stay in school and work hard for a degree and they would get a cut of all the revenue they generate. Title IX would probably get in the way of this ("Athletes on the women's rowing team deserve just as much as the All American QB!") but if athletes were promised, say, a check for 50K upon graduation that would be a good middle ground. Technically they would no longer be student-athletes since they have graduated (unless they redshirted, finished their undergrad and are in grad school during their fifth year on the team) and it promotes education.
There would have to be limits, though. Otherwise deep-pocket programs like Texas and Alabama would gain an even bigger recruiting advantage. If the money came directly from the NCAA and each player in each conference received the same amount, that would be a good solution. Scale the payouts to the revenue each sport brings in.

It depends on what the organization chooses to do with its profits.

Think of the NcAA like the UN. The only ones that want out are the Big name football schools (Texas, Ohio State, USC, the entire SEC. ETC) They are the Russia, China, US and UK of the NcAA. There are many more non football superpowers mucking up the works and trying to make things "fair" for the third world football schools.
PS, K-State is the Iran of college football (just wait till we get nukes :ksu:)
