Use the Thomas and Mack as a NIL money use like 5$ for every ticket sold goto directly to the players. 10000 tickets sold is 50000. Divide that by even 10 players and that's 5000 a player each game. Times it 20 home games and that's 100000 each player would get. Could adjust for starters. There are ways to be creative.
Try quartering or halving that, lol... Attendance was what 5k average last year? so players get like 1200 bucks a game... Why not just add 5 dollars a credit to every student that attends UNLV per credit. Thats roughly 26000 people average 15 credits a semester at 5$ a pop per credit... Call it a resource fee or something, lol.. Now your talking serious cash per semester for players.
Try to charge students and/or their parents for the athletic program NIL deal to pay professional athletes while students struggle to pay their tuition, and you will end up with hundreds of lawsuits.
We do what i said and better player come. With the potential to make 9,000 a game.
Sure, but how many lawsuits did you file in school for "fees" that you had no idea where the money actually went to... How many students never used the library or the Rec Center after graduating but paid for those "fees" during their construction... I'm not arguing one way or another about that, I hated useless fees on top of over inflated tuition, victim of the "flex" tuition or whatever excuse they used during the recession to double your tuition as part of certain programs on campus.... Was just saying Universities could get very creative at funding NIL's if states start getting creative with allowable uses of funds...
One side is paying for cost for a non-profit education facility, this fee would be forcing students to pay for professional athletes. The two have nothing to do with each other.
Signed into law today. Reno and UNLV had better get into gear or we'll be left behind. VCU and Richmond already puffing out their chest as their doners will find it easier to get $$ to players through the university.
This could signal the doom of college sports. Many states would balk at this and have to close up shop.
They wouldn’t have standing to sue. The only time a court had granted standing to plaintiffs as taxpayers has been under the 1st amendment for taxes being used religious school funding etc.
If you are talking about the Establishment Clause, that really doesn't have much to do with any case that would involve students being charged additional fees to pay for professional athletes that has zero to do with their education. While it is true that some schools charge fees to students to fund their athletic department (including UNLV), which should be stopped just on principal, that is far from using fees to pay professional athletes, and my expectation is this will quickly end up in the court system.
