SMU to pay all FB/BB players 36k per year

I think we have five or six footballers on NIL deals now, but they’re modest compared to the SMU figures.

Is Title IX no longer applicable?

Is Title IX no longer applicable?

To date, it’s never been deemed applicable to NIL because nothing comes from the university..

You have to imagine their boosters are wondering what could've been for them if they hadn't been made the sacrificial lamb on this issue so long ago. They were so far ahead of the curve on this and the NCAA treated them like a villain.

Because they were.

 

[Hoosiers47614]

Because they were.

The villain? No they weren't.

For one thing, it was an open secret that basically every school in the SWC back then, and probably every major college sports contender, was giving out money hand over fist. They were just the ones who got caught.

And secondly, what they were doing was the right thing. The NCAA just brought the hammer down hard on them because they didn't go along with the NCAA policy on treating players like chattel.

They greatly upped the ante in that cesspool and then, after they promised it had been cleaned up, they created a secret slush fund to keep it going. They richly deserved what they received.

i wonder how they came up with that number

$3,000/month. I wondered that at first, too.

 

[GR8IUFAN]

No reason that can't happen at IU.
It totals +/- 4mil a year.
ONE donor ponied up 10mil to take care of CAM.

But I like our approach of tying NIL to charities. May not be as money but in the long run it is better for the athletes.

Seems small compared to what Alabama, OSU, GA can provide …. And here we go …

Certainly, but it’s SMU, not Alabama, OSU, UGA … which fact should alarm some schools.

Some ??? Price of poker just went up. But doubt it will for the big boys. IU probably. Just need the next B1G contract money. All schools are still giving money just more more and legal. Which is fine with me if they pay coaches these outrageous salaries.
