How would you regulate paying college athletes?

The whole thing is idiotic. Just change the rule where high school kids can go straight to the league and get paid to play and those who aren't good enough just go to college.

I'm with you and there's no perfect solution, but I'm also glad Zion had a cup of coffee in the NCAA. It was fun to watch. It's cool that the generational players get to show their stuff at the NCAA level, even if its only for a year.

Ugh, I really believe, even though it may be being done with the best of intentions, that this will be sheet show of epic proportions. States are taking such a broad stance that regulation will be impossible.

I’m curious on the language of all these bills.

If the ncaa rules you permanently ineligible is that grounds to lose your scholarship? Even if it’s for this? You’re not doing it because of them getting money, you’re doing it because the ncaa is burying them.

The more interesting is whether the NCAA is bound by the state of NY's direction as to what it may or may not do.

I’m all for paying players in theory but this is a great point. I think people think student-athletes would be making millions in college. In reality, you’d be lucky to break even with the cost of tuition in just one year of college.

Players, especially in basketball can already get paid. It’s called the G league. Let them go there. I’m sure the Portland Exposition Center in Portland Maine is nice just not as nice as Gampel or the he Yum or the Dean Dome. But hey, you choose

I think it is pathetic that amateur sports has gotten to this. Who knows, maybe in 10 years high school athletes will want to be paid to perform.

It’s not the players choice right now.

Until all 50 states say that the nba can’t prevent hs kids from declaring for the draft, or the nba takes its own independent action, this will be a false narrative.

My view is you can choose. Go pro or go to college. You want to get paid go pro.. nba g league, Europe, Asia. I honestly wish more guys would do exactly that. Get rid of 1-done. Get rid of transfers or make it harder anyway. Like can’t play or practice with the team for a year. And then make reasonable rules and enforce them. Let guys get actual student jobs if they want. Require that they be off campus for the Summer session. Eliminate these bogus early season tournaments and move opening games to the Week after Thanksgiving. And if a player leaves for the Nbefore he either graduates or his class graduates you lose his scholarship until he would have graduated. See how K and Kentucky like playing with 4-5 walk one for a few seasons. Make college sports college sports.

Nonsense. No age limit in the g league or Europe. You want to get paid go pro. There are plenty of options
