Why? It's not like the deal goes away if she turns pro, and if she does she can actually go live life as an adult and not a student.
Just saw this quote on Twitter and it had me laughing.

You are saying this somehow violates The Constitution or it is under some Federal Law? Come on, let us keep this under college control--you can't expect 545 DC People to know about College, can you?Hold on, you're expecting the NCAA to fix this? Look how long it took for them to even do something about NIL.
Second, how much influence could the NCAA have on something that looks to be a federal issue? Highly doubt anything will happen for some time.
The current legal issue is whether the NCAA's attempts to regulate NIL or the transfer portal violate the Federal antitrust law insofar as they constitute a "restraint of trade", i.e., they impair the ability of student athletes to negotiate any deal that they (or their parents and agents) wish to make with individual colleges and universities.You are saying this somehow violates The Constitution or it is under some Federal Law?

1) I'm not the one who said that the government should get involved with respect to visas. That was the poster I was responding to.You are saying this somehow violates The Constitution or it is under some Federal Law?

I said that? This is a multi-faceted problem. The NCAA is part of the problem. They are extremely uncooperative in any area that threatens their power and monopoly. They had to be dragged by the nose through the whole NIL thing. Name 1 thing that the NCAA has done right for sports on their own initiative. Go ahead, I'll wait...Hold on, you're expecting the NCAA to fix this? Look how long it took for them to even do something about NIL.

1). Your post never specified who was required to fix it which is why my brain went to the NCAA first.I said that? This is a multi-faceted problem. The NCAA is part of the problem.

As intransient as the NCAA is, the larger part of the problem is the outdated student visas. The whole student visa and NIL was not thought through in typical government fashion. Only the Fed can fix the student visa problem so that all students have the same NIL opportunities. As stated in other posts, there is legislation being proposed. However, this being an election year, expect no action on anything unless it can be used as a polarizing issue by one side or the other. Student visa/NIL is not polarizing and no one wants to be seen holding hands and singing Kumbaya during an election year.
You are reading things into my post that simply are not there. I suspect you and I are in agreement, so no harm, no foul.1). Your post never specified who was required to fix it which is why my brain went to the NCAA first.
2). My reply also acknowledged that the NCAA drag their feet in a lot of areas. Not sure how you got the impression I disagree with you.
3). I agree that it's a federal issue which is why I asked why you thought the NCAA could do anything. Again, "those" could mean a whole bunch of groups depending on how one interpreted your post.
Nobody does exasperated like Nika.
