Why does "that money dry up" if the players are deemed to be employees? (By the way, I think such a designation is entirely reasonable.)

Why does "that money dry up" if the players are deemed to be employees? (By the way, I think such a designation is entirely reasonable.) I take this as some sort of scare tactic - or threat if college players unionize as college employees. I just don't see women's college sports being eliminated on a large scale anytime in the future - no what happens with NIL/Employee status. I do agree that NIL and some of these issues are a threat to change business as usual with some unknown consequences - and why it appears the commissioners are looking to congress to solve. I now think congressional solutions are more likely to occur now.

Scare tactic. iconsource.com/everything-about-nil/#:~:text=NIL%20can%20trace%20its%20originsNIL can trace its origins to a class-action lawsuit filed in the late 2000s that marks the beginning of the “should college athletes be paid” debate. Former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon argued that college athletes should be compensated for the use of their name and image in video games. Eventually, A judge ordered the NCAA to pay $44.4 million in attorneys' fees and another $1.5 million in costs to lawyers for the plaintiffs in the Ed O'Bannon class-action antitrust lawsuit. This case opened up the doors for more questions and lawsuits around athletes’ name, image, and likeness. The largest of these advancements came in 2019 when California enacted the Fair Pay to Play Act, which allowed athletes to be compensated for promotional opportunities. Other states quickly followed and similar legislation in different regions forced the NCAA to take a look at their stance on NIL. As of now, NIL guidelines are relatively simplistic, leaving a lot to interpretation. Per the NCAA board of directors, the rules state that: College athletes can engage in NIL activities that are consistent with the law of the state where the school is located. Colleges and universities are responsible for determining whether those activities are consistent with state law. Student-athletes who attend a school in a state without a NIL law can engage in this type of activity without violating NCAA rules related to name, image and likeness. College athletes can use a professional services provider for NIL activities. Student-athletes should report NIL activities consistent with state law or school and conference requirements to their school.

Whoa. Unlike pretty much every report in the last year about Colorado, this is from a serious reporter. We'll see.

The B1G has said they will "be back for more" in the coming years wanting to protect their investment in USC / UCLA. Washinton, Oregon, Stanford and Cal being the top choices. But I take that with a grain of salt at this point.

If CU was to move, it will set back talk over a media deal even further……now that the PAC 12 will lose the Denver market along with the LA market. Why would OSU or WSU holding emergency meetings? These two schools are said to be the two schools that no other P 5 conference want. Maybe plotting to join the MWC to complete the collapse of the PAC12 ?

They did their due diligence and adding Oregon and/or Washington don't increase revenue for the other 16 member schools; only school that does that is Notre Dame
