Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4811186, member: 44"] True, but that lawsuit had nothing to do with ability to pay. I haven't looked at the proposal extensively but it appears that the requirement is merely that $30 K per athlete be set aside in trust and how that money is distributed is up to the school. So, in theory, a school could set aside 30,000 per year per student but require that students complete their degree in order to get paid. That would result in forfeitures that would increase the amount of money in this fund. Keep in mind that this 30,000 is a negligible amount of money compared to what high major athletes in revenue sports will receive via NIL. They may not be particularly concerned about a prospective forfeiture if they say leave early to become pros. [/QUOTE]
