You know there are girls getting major money like that already, right?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 8:10 pmExcellent point on Title IX. Saw where Joey’s current valuation is $450k. It would be interesting to see someone challenge that in court to get that same amount for female athletes.BeauFoster wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 7:49 pmAgree - if you’re going to have NIL (which we will, forever), then there should be some sort of department or program “salary cap”. It should all have to be reported (as it already is, since it is income, right?), and there should be compliance in place. And the penalty for breaking the rules should be hefty impacts/reductions to the cap for a number of years. This would require schools to officially get into bed with NIL, which the NCAA doesn’t want, though.
But it’s not like regulation would matter. It would be extremely easy for an outside influence to provide benefits outside of a collective. It was happening in private before, it would be harder to spot now with permissible benefits already in play.
If a school wants to blow its wad on a single player, go ahead. But having a salary cap in place forces programs to be more careful. And then do you have title 9 to account for?
