Wow! 2025 will see teams directly paying players. Settlement allows for $20+ million a year to be distributed from revenue sharing.

Are players now employees? What are the tax consequences? Will each school be hiring new staff to monitor the payment scheme? Do coaches now become accountants or vice versa? Crazy....

The hilarious thing is they are turning college athletics essentially into the NFL and NbA and forcing academia - the one entity wholly incapable unable and ill equipped - to run an NFL and NBA "franchise" and all the **** show that it involves.

This is going to end poorly.

I agree. The players will become employees of the university, subject to withholding tax and workers' comp, for example. Now, players really should unionize. College sports will forever change.
