Scholarship, room and board, and stipend (with reasonable limit), not payment. As you said, if they think they're worth more, go G-League or overseas. Plenty of options and nobody is holding them back.Originally posted by Maizerunner08 View PostComment

If I had my way I think a scholarship and 1K/mo max. One transfer allowed. That's it.Comment

On the bright side, it's been fun to watch other programs finally start paying players according to the new rules while KU has clearly lost its "competitive edge" in that space."Say it slowly and savor it..."
Nothing worse than sCUm/sKUmComment

I'd easily trade my high dislike for KU to see these new rules get greatly modified closer to what they were before.Originally posted by wsushockerdude View PostComment

NIL was supposed to be about high profile "amateur" players "losing out" on revenue their name was generating, to institutions who were happily slurping it up. This implies that there was a huge pot of money somewhere waiting to be collected. The reality is, most athletic departments are either operating in the red, or turning a slight profit. Regardless.. everything, everywhere, is reinvested straight back into the athletic department.
Perhaps there's an image of some old white guy sitting on an Alabama plantation, doing snow angels in piles of ill-gotten money while twisting his mustache. This just isn't so.
Fast-forward to today and the conversation is no longer about players recovering what's "theirs". There never was anything extra. This has just become a massive expense on top of an already massively expensive endeavor. The only way paying players in this manner is sustainable is to remove the biggest expense in the equation, which is the school. That's called the NBA. And these kids aren't NBA players.
Everyone's completely lost sight of the spirit of the original litigation.Comment
