So...the caps doesn't apply to all NCAA schools? Just 65 schools? Do you have a cite for that...I can't find anything.wgdsr wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 8:17 pm a fan, we are not talking about 10s of thousands of kids losing their scholarships. this is ~65 schools + the big east + g5s that think they have a legit football team. most of the caps that have been set here fall in line with rosters today. now, do i agree with it or even know why they're doing it? no.
They're doing it in an attempt to keep more money for themselves: fewer players means more money for the NCAA and all the middlemen.
this judge isn't stopping anything. read up on houston christian, the only non-p5 that's suing. the nc$$ and the p5s (the parties named) want the non-p5s to pay a billion $ (the majority) of back nil to THEIR old football and basketball players to settle this.
Thanks for the suggested read.
Do I get to do this with my business? "Hey, you don't HAVE to work here, "therefore" I don't have to follow US labor laws, or laws against cartels".
I think OSHA and about a dozen other Federal and State agencies would, um, disagree with the notion of "worker choice" lets an employer or a third party break laws. This isn't about the Schools, Judge. This is about the players, and allowing a third party to deny them access to markets. Can a DIII player get a NIL deal? Yup. Sooooooo...how is it ok for a third party to dictate that access?
Welcome to America, where the folks who are supposed to understand capitalism better than anyone else in the world.......don't understand what a monopoly or a cartel is. Or that everyone is supposed to follow the same laws. Oh well. Guess not.
This is all fascinating stuff. The way US judges look at these things.....is simply bizzare.
