    Re: NIL question

    I've earned income in multiple states before. I don't average my total income between them, it's split on what's earned where. A NFL player's team income and endorsement income are from legally...

    Re: NIL question

    Your weekly game check is taxed in the state you play in, but I'm pretty sure endorsements are in your home state, or possibly in the state you film commercials in. I would expect NIL to be your...

    So we agree this is a widely publicized issue that affects many people. Pay your dang taxes, it's not that hard.

    Re: NIL question

    Funny, I'm from North Dakota and saw tons of 18-21 year old men earn $100k+/yr in the oilfield boom and there wasn't really any problem with taxes. If society says you're adult at 18, you get...

    Didn't Alston give private orgs the ability to pay players any way they want?

    Re: Latest NCAA Rule changes

    2 minute warning and able to use decades old technology on the field? That's it? I think some journalist is desperate for clicks.
  7. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    That's a terrible comparison. CFP only has 4 teams which means one of the P5 champions has to be left out. Florida St was consistently the lowest ranked P5. Committee got it right. Alabama was...
  8. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    Self interest? Of course. Everyone does.
    Ulterior motives? Not even sure what motive that could be. Unless you think my idea that D1 schools should fund their programs at D1 levels is somehow a...

    Re: AFL-CIO Comes to Hanover

    When I played rec league softball we had to have at least as many women as men on the team. Something similar for college club sports almost certainly satisfies Title IX.

    Re: AFL-CIO Comes to Hanover

    The players better consult with their Ivy League lawyers before doing that. Work slow downs are illegal and courts regularly rule against them.

    I wouldn't count on courts striking any of this down. Alston was a 9-0 decision and SCOTUS was practically begging for more cases to be sent their way. Simple reality is D1 athletics is a business....

    Re: Delaware to CUSA

    You're right in that there's few NDSU fans that would rather stay in FCS. Few to none. CUSA is not a stepping stone, it's a downgrade in every single way.

    Right. Because their FBS move motivated donors so much both have a smaller FB stadium and lower attendance than NDSU.

    Re: Delaware to CUSA

    My tea leaves point to consolidation, not a split. Right now FBS has a P5 and G5, but the collapse of the PAC is taking that down to P4. Florida State is most definitely leaving the ACC, only...

    Re: FCS vs. FBS Conference Comparison

    School culture, not too bad. Football strength, lots of problems.
    Though Sagarin has South Dakota State at 18, which is higher than any G5 team.
  17. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    A janitor at a public university needs to be paid if they clean a different building than normal, even if by choice. They can volunteer to judge a basketweaving competition for no pay though.

  18. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    Let's revisit this in a few months when the Johnson and House cases are resolved. D1 athletes are employees. Don't shoot the messenger.
  19. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    To the contrary, the modern NCAA athlete is clearly an employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Fairly applying the law is not political. We fans may not like it, but it is the truth.
  20. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    SCOTUS rightfully kept the Alston decision narrow, but if you read the ruling they were practically begging for more cases to be sent their way. Pay for play is happening and it doesn't matter what...

    Re: MEAC Expansion?

    If/when the courts rule D1 athletes are employees of the school, the school MUST pay them. If a school can't or won't, they'll be forced to drop out of D1, possibly out of NCAA completely.

    Re: MEAC Expansion?

    Any D2 looking to jump *really* needs to wait for House v NCAA to finish in the courts. Pay for play is inevitable, only question is what form it takes. D1 costs may rise significantly.
