100%. Things need to be fixed for sure on both sides.
Generally your best bet for increased salary is to switch companies, which has led to a lot of job hopping - and that's not just for top performers. Seems the same is true for NIL, in some ways.
The judge has given the House settlement preliminary approval and so the period has begun for past athletes to file claims. There have been objections to the terms of the agreement and the judge will rule on them in March. But none of the objections, as important as some of them are, affect the idea that the schools will start paying athletes directly.
I'm not buying @NickRU714 's false equivalence of player motivation and coach motivation.
You’re not.
That would theoretically help promote parity if teams choose to allocate their money more evenly
Can confirm this is true. Little bro might be getting a massive payday (which selfishly I hope he gets).
I think your hypothesis presupposes that the coach does not give a "f", and I submit that the percentage of coaches in that category is very, very small, probably less than 2%. We won't be able to get a statistical sampling because no coach is going to admit that they don't give a "f" if they win or lose as long as they get paid. To your point further, do you think Pikes (or any other coach on a losing streak) is enjoying the losses and the post game press conferences. Generally, these coaches are wired to "want to" win. We can go back and forth on this and argue with each other, but neither one of us is going to be able to find any hard proof. Maybe you can find an article with a fired coach's quote saying something like, "hey, I don't care if I sucked. I'm still getting paid."
Why do you constantly compare the dynamics of the players’ situation to the coaches?
Every link I've posted about the settlement has made this clear. Schools are going to have to chip in to pay that $2.78 billion. The compensation is for the income these athletes would have received if the NCAA hadn't forbidden them to receive payments for their NIL. There's nothing surprising about it at all.
2.78B is the estimated amount of endorsement money that would have been paid to student athletes in exchange for use of their name image and likeness during that time period?!
It's as far back as the statute of limitations extends for anti-trust violations. There's a four year statute of limitations for federal anti-trust claims and the case was brought in 2020, and so the statute runs back to 2016.
It's a settlement -- it's not based on any specific benchmark, but rather represents an agreement between the plaintiffs and the NCAA based on what each thinks it's worth to settle the lawsuit rather than to take it to trial and risk a worse outcome.
Interesting we were finally moving up as an program, and in that process developed one of the very players integral in creating nil
Thanks.
Remember -- a successful anti-trust law suit results in treble damages. That's why the settlement figure is so high.
Huh? Nobody brings up Bill Belicheck or John Calipari and what they make because no body is asking the everyman to pay their salaries. Yet every other day regular people are guilted for not donating enough to pay 18yr old kids.
People have the option to say no to those, they choose not to. Nobody gives them a hard time if they choose not to pay mandatory donations. People are told its their fault teams stink if the don't contribute to pay for play.

Because it's true? The level of our shittiness is correlated to the piss poor levels of giving.People have been told for years it's their fault the teams stink if they don't contribute to the atheltic department.
Literally look at any facilities or "fieldhouse" thread.
Any thread talking about AD donations points how far we are behind OSU/UM and that's why we can't compete.
All well before "pay to play".
Lots of talk about bad fans for not donating back during the Ash Era and how the AD needs your donation in order to win.
Sent back my R Fund mail request for another donation
for The Bells Must Ring campaign with a note on the form saying that I would not donate additional money until Rutgers demonstrated a serious commitment to Rutgers football by replacing Ash.
Yeah, it sucks. It's destroying college sports and will ultimately destroy thousands of scholarships.
nobody cares. many on here don’t get it.
You do know we have one of the largest living alumni bases in the USA.. If thst number only contributed a couple of hundred each
That's not the pertinent category.
"We reached and surpassed a $250 million fundraising goal because of a surge in new givers: more than 7,500 of our 34,000 donors in fiscal year 2024 were first-time donors." - Jonathan Holloway in Rutgers' 2024 Annual Financial Report
