How would you envision scenario 2 playing out? You think USC and Oregon would play by the rules dictated by what coug and beav can afford?

TheHB

Have a set salary cap (kids paid to play directly by the athletic department)?

I only voted this way because UW has no chance in the other scenario.

Set salary cap nationally. Say $10,000,000 per year, per school or something like that.

Move Kewgs and Beavers into Division 2.

How does it work in professional sports? NIL is akin to advertising dollars

Those dollars are more prevalent in some markets more than others

Not all players want to dog/pony show advertising and marketing … right now you have to do that to get paid

The Alliance will probably police themselves to punish for direct pay-for-play (you can't have inducements in a contract, you must show that a player is performing the services paid for).

The SEC will keep everything the same as it is now unless the networks put pressure on them to do the same.

The networks work for the SEC not the other way around.

SEC can always shop around

The NCAA continues to kick this can while raking in billions, when they should be the entity regulating and enforcing everything.

When push comes to shove, the NCAA has no legal authority, while Emmert is a weak leader.

Give them their set stipend and call it a day. It's the only possibility of the sport not dissolving in to two super leagues and everyone else is out in the cold. I give it 5 years before the public acknowledgment by Dear Leader Emmert that Bama and Ohio State have left the NCAA and taken 30 other schools with them.
