Gotta be hard to keep yelling amateurism when coaches, university presidents and NCAA executives making millions.
The NCAA model has had years to change and is now at the mercy of the states. Which state is next?
Looking like South Carolina potentially.Gotta be hard to keep yelling amateurism when coaches, university presidents and NCAA executives making millions.

Dabo’s players are now going to have to pay taxes...Looking like South Carolina potentially.
College basketball is gonna be... not as great within the next 10 years. Everything is so professionalized and glamorized theses days
it is what it is i guess
This decision to allow players to profit off of their likeness will be one of those things that people will look back and regret. If passed nationwide, you can kiss college sports goodbye...
Why now? We have evidence of a great majority of players being paid, how is a player making money over the table any different from the way things are now?

Agree... this is what Jerry Jones does in Dallas do recruit second tier guys. It has not won him a Super Bowl but guys are getting more $$$ in their pockets from the outside and it doesn’t be hurt his cap space. A win win for all involved (except that Super Bowl thing...)Players will go to the highest bidder. Schools will recruit by claiming that if they go to their school, they can arrange that a car dealer will pay them X amount of dollars or they can market them better than the other schools. Players will go to schools that they feel can make them the most money. College sports will be just one big advertising campaign. It will be the wild west in that money will be thrown around to buy recruits. Marketable college players will be focused more on making commercials, signing shoe deals, and making paid appearances than trying to play as a team. Players will refuse to wear uniforms because the player will be represented by a different shoe company. Recruits in high school will have so much baggage due to the endorsement deals.
Correct UK will benefit and it is only likeness. That being said, the “blue bloods” will create a further separation from smaller schools. Real question is will this allow schools in larger metro areas to become more competitive in the market place because they can offer more endorsements to student athletes and recruits. If this existed when Cam Newton’s dad was shopping him - I couldn’t imagine how much money Cam would have raked in. (A lot more than the 250K he got)All it is doing is allowing players to make money off their likeness. Endorsements. Autographs. Etc. I.e doing Paul Miller commercials.
Has nothing to do with schools paying them or Title IX. If someone actually wants to pay a woman's golfer for endorsement then God bless em, pay her.
And newsflash, itd be absolutely great for UK recruiting if we got on board with it.

The only big change is that the players will have to pay taxes and the agents’ fees earlier.All that you just mention is happening already under the table illegally. We just had the adidas trial where evidence shown adidas funneling kids to certain schools and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Nothing is going to change with the new rule heck if anything it will help us because now we can actually pay the players
Oooooooh...... That's a great bogeyman. Got any more?This is also bad in that athletes will do what is best for their image instead of what is best for the team. How would lineman feel if the player they are blocking for is making a lot of money while they make none? Reports will come out showing which teams produce the most marketable athletes and get paid the most which will be a recruiting ploy. It will come down to which school has the deepest pockets when it comes down to boosters. Players will resent each other if they feel like another player is getting marketed better than they are.
Horrible situation...

If this starts to be a trend I hope Kentucky doesn’t drag its feet like it Has with medical marijuana. We will probably be the last to do this.Game changer. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Your other one was better. This was more of a half-hearted effort. You can do better, and you will do better.Athletic departments will be setting up their own dedicated marketing departments in trying to get their athletes more exposure on TV. You thought it was bad when Coach K was all over TV, just wait until athletes are allowed to be doing their own commercials. Agents of athletes will be in coaches ears demanding that their players be used a certain way. This environment is all about the individual instead of the team concept. Do you really think Anthony Davis's agent in college would be sitting by allowing him to be used the way he was used at UK. Heck no! His agent would be demanding more touches and allowing him to shoot more threes.
Some people are more short-sided than others...
I hope you’re right but the state said it would be violating antitrust laws if the NCAA tried to pursue this.All California teams will be banned from competing. This ruling does nothing.
