The question is would the ncaa void their winnings if it still hasn't said school paying players is allowed?
Haha. I miss that showQuote:

That's good. NIL is a joke. Just pay players a salary directly, and then you can put in caps and controls.
I know a lot of people are nostalgic for the "amateurism" fantasy, but a system where the schools and conferences are responsible for paying everyone is going to be a lot more fair, reasonable, and regulated.
Can't be done without a contract agreementQuote:

Time to get rid of staff not having to pay and get premium seatsQuote:

Agree with this. Also right now the schools are getting off free. Burden is on the fans, alumni, etc. Burden needs to be on those with hte money.Quote:

Maybe not though. If athletes become unionized employees, it could become a federal crime to give players under-the-table money. After a few players are declared permanently ineligible and a few rogue boosters do to for-real prison, it would end.Quote:
