[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5347322, member: 21439"] They already do. Called cost of attendance, because unlike other students, they aren’t allowed to work while in school (and let’s face it a lot of these athletes don’t come from even middle class homes). Colleges are now giving them $5900 for top grades as a result of the US Supreme Court case the NCAA lost (non-athletes could get those bennies but not athletes). I have no issue with any of that. I have no issue with NIL. This is (still, I guess) a free country and any of us should be allowed to maximize our profit potential, whether we are an 18-22 year old athlete or a 60 year old. My issue are the pay-to-play inducements being offered to recruits or portal guys by Tennessee, USC, Texas and other schools. Those are blatant violations of NCAA rules but not being enforced because the NCAA has an incompetent prez and they are afraid of being sued. Once the kid enrolls in school, allow them to max out on their NIL, but the pay-to-play has to stop. [/QUOTE]
