[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131678676, member: 1476288"] They are not pro athletes.. They are more aligned as an employee of a company(NCAA), and when you work for an employer, they can implement policies for yourself & fellow employees. Again, I align this, with respect to free market perspectives, as Student Athletes are employees of the NCAA, and using the NCAA framework(game) they are able to market & monetize their NIL. The revenues of such are divided like a profit sharing plan and/or partnership agreement. NCAA & NFL are two very different structures... Im a 100% free market supporter & Capitalist, but I dont think the same perspectives apply here. I think the most beneficial & impactful policy is that ALL players financially benefit from NIL, and not just a handful of skillset players. You want to positively impact peoples lives, then take ALL NIL revenues, and divide them equally. OR, have a set max, then once that max is hit, its then added to a pool for all other players, this way skillset positions can still earn more then regular players. We have to find a logical way, free from political or socio economical perspectives that allows players to benefit from NIL, while keeping the game fair to all programs, & fair to all players. EX: One policy could be, a single player cannot be paid for marketing a product. However, an entire team can be used for marketing... Or the players they want to use for marketing, but the entire team splits the payment equally. Still tho, this would not solve equality among all conferences/states/programs. If we go straight uninhibited Capitalism, it would be an utter disaster for college sports. It would magnify the divide between wealthy states, programs, advertising markets, and states/areas/programs who are not in a prime location. It would be a total disaster if you did not implement policies to ensure fairness & balance. Complex problems are rarely solved from a perspective of singularity... Solely relying on Capitalism here would be a terrible mistake. [/QUOTE]
