RedSavage Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 This might be more of an outlier but I think a lot of people can stop pretending that this won't be that big of deal and won't rock the college sports world now. 2 Quote Link to comment

No offense but college basketball was maybe the most under-the-table-money sport out there so I don't really see how something like this is fundamentally changing anything? Instead of Duke or Kentucky funneling $2M through EYBL camps people are just going to do it in the open now. 3 Quote Link to comment

You think they were paying players $2M and this won't carry over to other sports like football? 1 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 23 hours ago, ColoradoHusk said: Martinez could pay for the rights to that game, but even then the $ isn't related to playing the game in the state of Oklahoma, the $ is related to the use of the video rights. So, in that instance the tax isn't owed to the State of Oklahoma. Professional sports charge a huge sum for rights to game film, unis, logos, everything that carries the brand. Huge corporations can rarely afford it, and only the brands with multi-year partnerships get to show the good stuff. The NCAA isn't likely to let this money walk out the door, either, and I don't know if individual schools would be allowed to strike their own deals with their own athletes. Again, I'm pretty sure Adrian Martinez would not be allowed to wear a Nebraska uniform much less air game film in any for-profit venture without compensating the university or the NCAA, and that cost could well be prohibitive. 2 Quote Link to comment

OK maybe not $2M; my bad there. But some of the payments revealed in the FBI probe were several hundred thousand a year so it was already significant money. I just don't see how this is going to be some crazy or bad change. People will drop stupid money early, but if it doesn't provide value for these companies making the mega-offers, then the market will adjust and stop doing it. And for every extravagant mega deal there are dozens of smaller deals that are helping other lesser-known athletes get compensated. I just can't understand thinking this is a bad thing in any way. From a certain perspective this money has always belonged to them and they're just now getting access to it. Quote Link to comment

In a way this money has always belonged to them and they're just now getting access to it. The money has always been significant but this takes it to another level IMO. I'm not opposed to the players getting their fair share but personally, college is so much better than pro sports and the closer it gets to that, the more disinterested I become. It's the whole mega deals thing that has me concerned more than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Any implications for fantasy sports- pro or college. Do athletes own their statistics? Do college sports have fantasy sports? Quote Link to comment

Such as, some form of celebration after a TD to bring attention to a sponsor. Reminds me of Kenny Bell writing KCCO on his armbands. (lol cropping lol) Quote Link to comment
