NCAA Players gettin paid

How many centuries of appeals and/or other legal errata are we looking at here? This seems like the match being thrown into the powder keg if it really is the new law of the land.
 
I must have read a different article than you guys. This just confers the same status that Northwestern football players already had to sixteen other private schools. Maybe it will eventually lead to something, but this alone doesn't seem to mean much.

Very possible - i wasn't familiar with anything like this prior but stumbled across it and found it interesting. Seems like if they are considered employees and under labor laws then they will be getting compensated. Admittedly, I didn't read much of the article.

We will have to wait till the resident repost police officer gives his ruling.
 
What it could mean is the private school kids are considered "professional" since they are employed in sports. Therefore they would be ineligible to play in the NCAA.... Just spinning things the other way.

There is 0 chance the NCAA would give up USC, Norte Dame, Stanford, Miami and Duke.
 
This applies to all sports, right? Not just the one that makes some money and the other one that makes less money until March than pays for the NCAA. Because if track and field athletes and swimmers and gymnasts and every other kid that plays a college sport I don't really care about is now a professional, what happens to the US Olympic teams?
 
The question is what championship will we have to vacate because of this? 2014 Orange Bowl, 2016 Gator Bowl, or god forbid 1990 NC.

The Olympics haven't had amateurism requirements for decades.
