No problem at all. Just curious what will happen to them.
It would be great it if gets shoe companies out of college sports.
I agree. I’d also like to get rid of ESPN or at least fix the way they’ve monetized the sport over the past 20 years. I guess it was only a matter of time before execs figured out how to cash in on such a popular sport.
My guess on the shoe deals is the money might stop going to coaches and schools and start going to players....imagine that! Uniform deals will probably continue since that is in control of the school.
Sonny Vaccaro clones will be pairing kids with schools on top of sneakers.
The NCAA is utterly and completely unprepared to deal with this. Gotta love it.

it is going get crazy, bunches of 18-22 year olds running around campus with tons of extra cash...oh i wonder what could go wrong. I guess the good news is they will have plenty of cash for defense attorneys.
let the claims of racism, sexism, abuse so forth start in 3,2,1....it is gonna be quite a show.

This place is 2 traffic lights away from where I live. Hole in the wall but it's #1 is Conor McGregor.
I am wondering how far this is going to go before programs put a stop to it. These kids will have company reps all over them. Hopefully they will have fair representation from advisors and attorneys.
