They don't have to. The shoe companies seem more than willing to do it for them. It's high time they figure out how to systematize this and get these kids compensated. The folks at Adidas seem to feel it's a worthwhile investment to make sure kids are wearing their shoes before they turn pro, so the money is there. Seems pretty harmless to me to let them pay the kids directly for the right.

If left to its own devices (without institutional support or student fees), college sports would not exist in a true "market economy". And if it did, there would only be football and men's basketball. No women's sports at all. No baseball. No soccer. As much as talking heads may try to tell you, college athletics really isn't a business. Because a business would simply discontinue all of the programs required by Title IX. A business also wouldn't operate in the red, effectively ending all but a handful of P5 programs. Glad that someone else understands that.

That's one part of the argument that isn't going away, which is why arguing they deserve to be paid isn't likely to change anytime soon. Now, if there was a miraculous way that all D-1 schools suddenly shared the TV equally down to the nickel, I could see that changing, and I could agree with the argument for paying the players. Because then every school could possibly be close to not requiring student fees to fund them. But in the real world, there are so many things to overcome to pay the players. The players deserving it is the smallest hurdle of all of them.

The NCAA would probably have to amend their bylaws beyond just endorsement money. The HBO "Student Athlete" documentary has a segment on a football player from Baylor. He was a walk on who made the team and became a regular player. I don't remember if he was ever a starter. Anyway,as a walk on he got nothing. He was living on people's couches. A family friend,with no ties to Baylor athletics,put him up in an apartment,and gave him money for food. The NCAA considered that an "improper benefit" and banned him. If the NCAA is going to allow athletes to be paid for endorsements,they have to address issues like this.

It makes one wonder about the differences between private schools and public education sponsored schools. Those being charged here are being brought to justice due to existing Federal laws, but one wonders how schools are going to legally deal with some of these issues in the future -- not to mention the whole issue of legalized gambling in college sports. There must be loopholes here that someone is going to exploit in the name of winning. After all, it seems that the NCAA,itself,is willing to play along in the interest of the almighty dollar!! Long live, Capitalism; long live, the NCAA.

It is not like the NCAA and the member schools (remember the member schools vote on the regulations) just arbitrarily make up rules. And yes there are a ton of tax implications in college athletics, benefits that many would never think of, and pretty much no where are these benefits usually properly reported.

Isn't that what they're already doing, but behind the shadows and closed doors so the NCAA doesn't know about it? As soon as Zion Williamson joins an AAU team, he is a moving billboard for Nike or Adidas. He's not getting paid directly, but someone is (usually his AAU coach) and he's receiving free gear and trips for doing so. I'd say he's already receiving endorsements without actually ever signing anything.

There are legal precedents holding that schools are legally allowed to pay coaches for their men's basketball teams more than their women's basketball teams, for instance, because the former typically generate greater revenue than the latter. It's not certain that this same logic would apply to paying men's basketball players more than female players, of course. But to say that paying certain athletes, but not others, would definitely violate Title IX is legally incorrect. It's an open question, with the most applicable precedent favoring the argument that there is no legal issue. Meanwhile, if the NCAA merely allowed shoe companies to endorse student-athletes, that would not have any Title IX implications, because the resources provided by the school to the students wouldn't differ in any way. It may very well open up other cans of worms, but Title IX wouldn't be one of them.

So, you're essentially siding with the "top 1%" (i.e. the big boys of college athletics and the most elite athletes). I will proudly carry the flag for everyone else (G5, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA) doing things the right way. There are thousands of great student-athletes, students, fans and alumni of those schools that don't deserve to have their experience/opportunities diminished. Those student-athletes with pro potential will go on to make more than what almost anyone on this planet can dream of. College athletics needs to remain a level playing field (or as much of one as is possible, given the current corruption of money at the P5 level). College athletics is NOT (and shouldn't turn into) a for-profit business. The unintended consequences of such would be tremendous.
