NIL the way it is working now is that yes... these kids are getting paid... at certain schools or in certain situations. The Penn States, the Michigans, the Iowas... these schools can pay out the ass. In fact they can pay more than what these kids are actually worth. What he wants and is asking for is a standard system in which every kid gets what they're worth, not just the kids that are justifiably exploiting the system as it is currently designed. Are the schools paying these kids directly? I didn’t think that was how it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These donors are not paying for image and likeness value they are just trying to buy a team which they were trying to do 30/50 years ago. It was against the NCAA rules then and still is but now the NCAA can not really do anything about it. Previously this was either criminalized or the money went to the very wealthy institutions. Now the money goes to the labor who are responsible for the actual product I watch, which I'm fine with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the money went to buying a kid a car or paying him for a summer job where he didn't have to show up for or cash on a recruiting visit or pay the parents directly. It didn't go to the university. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknGold Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 You guys want to change rules, create limitations, or attack resources. Doesn't sound like you want student-athletes to get paid what they're worth. Cut the act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut the act I think college wrestlers should have to pay for the privilege to wrestle… the better the team, the more they have to pay. For example, a PSU wrestler would have to pay $100k/year, and, when scaling it for success, an Iowa wrestler might have to pay about $5-10k/year.

You pretend to care about the kids and keep using them as your answer, but in reality you only care that Iowa has a lot of money to pay kids and buy your team.

I started the thread in the first place Pay the athletes and don't touch free market True free market would be allowing the schools and coaches to also charge the wrestlers whatever they feel is commensurate for allowing them to be part of a top program and get top coaching. Why should the wrestlers be the only ones allowed free rein to make money? Obviously Cael could charge much more than Brands for his coaching prowess, so it might be a windfall for you and your program, B&G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 When NIL was passed there was a privision that the athlete could not be paid above the going rate for the service (though I do not recall the exact wording). For example, the local car dealership couldn't pay $100k for doing a commercial if they normally paid (see what I did there @BlacknGold) $5k. I have no idea how the NCAA could even determine a norm for an athlete vs. a bit part, commercial actor, so it always seemed unenforceable to me. But it felt to me that this was their attempt to provide themselves some future enforcement muscle if the pendulum of power ever swung back their way, as unlikely as that is to happen. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ... what's the market rate for showing up at a five year old's birthday party? If there is no market data maybe $100k is reasonable. And we can't compare it to the $100 you'd normally pay a clown, cause clowns are scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 12 year old Granddaughter is 95% more emotionally stable than you 85% of the time. It's equal parts embarrassing and cringe. Nobody has even said the kids don't deserve to get paid.
