The board said directed the three separate divisions of college sports to immediately begin figuring out how to update their rules in a way that maintains a distinction between college and professional sports. The board members said in a release Tuesday that all changes should make sure student-athletes have the same opportunities to make money as all other students, maintain a priority of the education and the collegiate experience and ensure that rules are "transparent, focused and enforceable" and do not create a competitive imbalance. The board wants each of its division to implement new rules by January 2021.

Haven't been keeping up but this doesn't seem to bode well for schools with smaller TV markets. Can someone change my mind?

There will be a lot of rules and restrictions on this, and the big schools will still circumvent it with their bagmen and illegal money laundering schemes like funneling money through churches. Church laundering is how Clemson currently buys its players.
I still maintain that you have to be careful what you wish for.

Depends on the rules. But I am sure the big schools will find loopholes, a way around them, or just keep doing what they have been doing with bagmen and money laundering to purchase players.

Mostly platitudes. The devil will be in the details. At least they’ve set a deadline to work this out, which will hopefully keep idiot politicians out of it for a while.

Not that anyone cares, but this could have a profound effect on the rules of golf worldwide. The USGA and R&A will have some tough decisions to make.

Good, bad or indifferent for the athletes and individual schools; you've got to be a total insane person to believe that the NCAA will have any hope at all of creating and enforcing effective rules for this.

Depending on how this all pans out, I may be out of college athletics before long.
I despise pro sports for this very reason (money). It's a good thing that TCU will have the stadium reno done before then.

Paying players will ruin football and other sports IMO.

I remember there being a lot of talk on that being how Cam Newton ended up at Auburn. I like to believe churches would think better of participating in something like that but know thats wishful thinking. The tax benefit going to the contributor through this method as opposed to straight cash makes sense as well. The potential of this at Clemson (considering their recruiting rating year after year) is one reason I don't think Dabo is as squeaky clean as he paints himself. Their muted response to the 3 PED positives during the playoffs last year said a lot as well.

If you despise money in sports, you should have been out on college football since...I dunno, the 80's at least? The only thing we're quibbling about now is where the money goes, not the existence of money in the sport.
