    Considering this will directly affect me in the future, not sure how to feel about it. On one hand it's cool that superstars like Tebow or Johnny Football or Kyler Murray can get their bag for their college performance, but on the other hand this could affect sports like mine (baseball).

    The only option for the NCAA that won't make everyone hate them is to allow it for all institutions. There's no way that they just let the Cali schools do it, since all the best players would want in.

    Employers can prohibit shit all the time even though it's "legal." Why can't the NCAA continue to maintain that if you participate in its organization you have to play by its rules? Legal battles will drag this out another few years and nothing will change until it's settled.

    Saw this idea elsewhere and it made a lot of sense to me...

    Give the kids a choice: either they get a scholarship from the school plus all of the living/food stipends that come with it, or forgo all of that to get endorsement money. They would still count towards the 85 cap.

    We’d see real quick how many players can actually be worth the cost of all the things they’d be forgoing (hint: it’s not many)

    Interesting idea.

    What happens when they think they are the shit and forgo the scholarship only to find out they are actually just shit?

    Thousands of what-if’s. This was just the first one that came to mind.

    I don't know if I like that, though. There'd be a lot of dumb teenagers taking the endorsement money who don't know any better and worse, snake oil salesmen in CFB would persuade them it's a good idea.

    The counting towards the 85 cap makes sense, but how hard would it be for Nick Saban to use the Bama booster network, set up endorsements for all his top recruits, and start persuading all the kids in the country to come to Bama and make 100k a year?

    I don't think that levels the playing field at all. The idea is fine - the kids will learn from the ones who make bad decisions - but there are ways that the rich programs can and will take advantage of it.

    Winners win, I know. But that seems to just mean the rich get richer. This benefits flashy schools like Oregon and USC and downgrades ones like UW, since Pete would hate that.
