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.
So what happened there that ran of Muss and some top coaches did not want to touch that place with a 10 foot pole?
98%+ of the NIL payments are outbidding the NBA. How many college basketball players have any chance at all making a career in professional basketball?
College is professional basketball. At least it seems that way to me.
Most certainly biased, but it seems like the peak of college hoops was the 80’s and 90’s. Don’t know exactly when it started to dip but it certainly gained downhill steam with the easy transfer … even sitting out 1 season kept things more in check.
It is now and the payments are far beyond the worth of the players!
Could be a revenue stream for the non-p5 schools. Have all your scholarship players have buy out clauses so when a rich P5 school steals an up and comer the school's athletic department gets a nice wad of cash. Ultimate equalizer. With all the NIL crap going on what's the NCAA going to say? Players don't want to sign the clause? Then let them go elsewhere. No one's putting a gun to there head.
Yeah, it's a really strange dynamic. Schools are limited on what they can offer, while boosters can seemingly pay whatever amount they want. However, the schools will ultimately be the ones to make money if the program is successful, due to larger crowds, TV slots, NCAA games, etc, while the boosters foot the bill for the whole thing. It's just odd.
