Will this ever happen? If we get to the point with media rights and legal issues, that the NCAA HAS to start paying players, can we ever get to the point where all of the D1 schools are given a hard salary cap. Let's say each school is allowed to spend $500,000 on their current roster and they have to offer four year contracts to players. This would create an amazingly level playing field in college football. 

 

I guess the concern is that the Big 5 would just pull out of the NCAA and would start to pay millions of dollars to recruits.

I would think that this would cause an accounting nightmare for the schools that "pay" players. As is, these "students" get a tax fee ride thru college. I would think that if they became "paid employees" of either the school or the NCAA that they would, and should, be subject to the same tax laws as us common folk.

 

I'm not an accountant, and have no idea of the stipulations they are under now. Just my thoughts.

Can USF afford to compete for talent?

2 things that would create a nightmare for the NCAA. 1) enforcement. How would the NCAA enforce a hard cap space given they don't do anything now with enforcing the rules on the big schools. 2) structure. Would the big name schools break off and form a 4th division which would kill march madness and second what happens if football gets overtaken in popularity by another sport and the big schools are not as dominant as the smaller schools in the newer sport

the power conferences can pay players

 

the non power conferences needed to break away and form their own alliance. i guess it isnt too late to do it

 

usf  and similar non power conferences will not be able to pay players

The Kessler case is in the works to do just that... remove all restrictions.

 

But then if the schools had to pay players, they would be classified as employees, and that adds a lot more complications.
