Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4777425, member: 1414"] You're crazy. This would be suicide for college sports. Nobody should have to choose whether to be a social media star or an athlete. What's the rational basis for that membership test? How does it not unlawfully discriminate? Can you tell a kid who is rich through inheritance that they can't play a sport? What if Ray got this part before he went to the NBA?

This stuff is free advertising. B. it would not survive a challenge. Several states explicitly allow NIL without losing eligibility, and if the NCAA decided to kick those institutions out (they threatened this with CA schools) they'd face an immediate antitrust challenge that they would lose. Go after recruiting inducement all want, but a cap isn't needed or wanted. [/QUOTE]
