[QUOTE="cheese83, post: 2768808, member: 7737"] It was Ed O Bannon, watch the 30 for 30 Sole Man on Sonny Vaccaro. He created the AAU shoe circuit set up/scheme, then decided to help OBannon in the court case for some reason. The only way college football players can handle this situation and get fair compensation would be to unionize. Problem with that is if they do unionize then it just becomes the minors w paid 4 year players. A good amount of schools are making tons of $ right now, sure some boosters will throw cash around to players but I don’t think it will be as much as others think. There’s no tax write off for buying 100k shirts w Daylon Mack’s face on it vs donating to build a new locker room or facility. The market would probably start out real high for top players and then the big money will smarten up and reduce these amounts due to busts, transfers, injuries, etc. Rich people don’t always just throw money away. Plus if you hate the transfer portal now imagine what it would be like in 2023. Legit free agency where the best players on teams can transfer out to the highest bidder essentially. That could kill college football. [/QUOTE]
