Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4777298, member: 44"] Sure they can. They are a private organization they can sit there membership requirements at anything that they like so long as it's nondiscriminatory. Should be? That's a normative judgment. Would be? Yes, if the NCAA decides that millionaires are not entitled to be college athletes. They wouldn't necessarily be ineligible, but they would have a choice whether they wanted to be social media personalities or college athletes. Life is choices. Maybe, but what was the legal basis for that challenge be? That was my question. You've listed a lot of reasons why it won't happen, which I pretty much agree with, but most of those are closing the barn door after the horses left issues rather than legal issues. The notion at a booster can't compensate an athlete is a good approach that probably would've been workable had the NCAA adapted initially. I'm not sure that we could go back to it. [/QUOTE]
