Episode 69 Published 5 years, 11 months ago

We take a deep look at what it would mean to pay college basketball players and what kind of impact that would have on college athletics as a whole.

Most everyone says yes its a great idea...but
- The college athletes I talked to are on board but didn’t have a cohesive plan that has yet to infiltrate mainstream thought. It seems just a collection of ideas or half-baked ideas even
- Who loses in all of this
Salary Cap
Trust Funds
Free Market
Form Bubble Leagues HBCU League and school returns to it’s the traditional role
- We can see that they are already bubbles with the Big Ten delaying their football this season
The Olympic Model - Endorsements, selling their likeness, etc.
Royalties like the music industry although that might not be the model anyone should follow
Offer more incentives, health insurance
Give more years at college 8 years
