Running '22-'23 NCAA Football thread

Well, SMU has figured out how to pay players legally, I think. New donor group, the Boulevard, will be paying all football and basketball players around $36k a year, assuming that it's set up legally and does not get shot down as pay for play. Even if that's exactly what it is.

I assume the WBB team is also getting $36k for title 9 purposes?

 

The song the NCAA investigators play as they enter campus for their fact-finding mission:

 

collectives dealing with NIL don’t have title ix restrictions. This isn’t the school paying its boosters.

 

Not yet. But an equal-pay lawsuit is inevitable at some point.

 

On what basis? Bob the booster and his pals are not a government-funded agency.

 

Add that SMU is a private school. OTOH, they have tons of money, and spreading some onto women's athletics would help both recruiting and public relations.

 

Sue all you want. Free market dynamics say they can give their money to whomever they want.

they could just as easily be giving it to softball and field hockey. It’s their choice what sports they want to support

 

Freshman QBs making more than the University president or professors.

I've long suspected that "facility improvements" and "uniforms" (Clemson, Oregon) were used as cover for teams that suddenly had an uptick in recruting. Nice that NIL will put an end to that nonsense.
