About time.
This is not a good thing, the beginning of the end of amateurism. Stop handing out taxpayer funded scholarships & $ to pay for facilities and such. Title 9 lawsuits will get this all twisted into a cash snafu
It will probably be somewhat more subtle, but only marginally so.Booster: come play at State U and i'll make sure you do some commercials for my dealerships. You'll make a million dollars your first year.
Recruit: uh, ok.
Booster: That's some real smart thinking there, son.
Was thinking the same thing. What is going to stop this from escalating into bidding wars on recruits? (way more than we have now)Booster: come play at State U and i'll make sure you do some commercials for my dealerships. You'll make a million dollars your first year.

Nothing. What is stopping people from setting up dummy corporations to filter money to recruits in the form of endorsements? Nothing. This will lead to the end of amateurism in due time. However, this is the product of a governing agency being a clown show for years and the government forcing their hand.Was thinking the same thing.

Yup, it sounds nice in theory and any reasonable person thinks people should be paid when their likeness is used and others are getting paid for it but we live in a predatory capatalism world. This is going to breed more corruption and create a larger divide between the have and have nots.Yeah.
I’m not against things like the UCF kicker making money, or them getting paid for video games or shirts or whatever. But this was always an end around to legalize pay to play.

This is the only thing that can save UConn athletics, IMO. We are more P5 than G5. While it may not be good or clean it's the only way we can remain with the Haves versus the HaveNots.
