Texas could start paying athletes $10,000 per year

[NCBull]

Sorry I am late to this thread... but people are missing out.

USF WILL HAVE NO CHOICE.

The O'Bannon ruling has said all FBS football and Division I men's basketball players will be paid for their name/image/likness rights. Title IX will (eventually) force this to pay women the same amount... and the other players in other sports can argue that since their sport can be broadcast (such as Internet sites like Bulls Cast), they deserve funds as well.

USF will be paying bout $9,100 per year... and I would bet that would go to all 500 (or so) scholarship athletes.

$4,100 per year is the "full cost of attendance" differnence for USF

$5,000 per year is the minimum amount for name-image-likeness (this is paid after the player leaves school)

A few FBS teams may drop to the FCS level in 10 years

This will weed out the programs that have been mismanaged. good.

The market will decide.

Mismanaged = not wealthy ?

That's a start

What we really need is an NFL D-League, separate from the NCAA. Pay THEM, and let the students be students.

 

Completely agree. 

 

And banking on what Jim said above, I personally don't see how USF can fund a team long-term. 

 

 

I don't think this will work out as great as people think, those stadiums full of people at the big programs are there to see their school not johnny 5 star recruit.  IF those kids were going to a D-League team without the deep roots that the powerhouse programs have not many people would stop going to their college games to attend minor league ball.  People aren't watching big time college football because of the future NFL players their watching it because of their emotional connection to their schools....

except wins and losses drive attendance and personal drive wins and losses.
