I think its funny the state of California just told the NCAA to frick off these players can get paid for their likeness. This is fricking dumb on so many levels, but of course its Cali so they will top it with something else even dumber by the end of the month. NCAA will tell them, and all the athletes that are in Cali and getting paid, to pound sand since they own NCAA March
Madness and NCAA Basketball plus a major influence on the college football play offs. Its funny that ESPN said as soon as Alabama sees the players they want go to a Cali school then Nick is going to make the change too lol. Cali ain't relevant in any sports that make money these days so its not like they are going to pull any sponsors with them. All they are going to do is cause the NCAA to disband and turn each conference into its own little fiefdoms with no one to watch the cheaters. Great job Cali fricking it up for everyone as usual

Sleezy booster- Heres 100k. Come to our school. We have people setup to make you even more money, legally
Or, you know, a kid could say "I already have a cash flow in place going forward so I don't need to risk my eligibility so I'll just go the legal money route". That's not currently an option they have

Your solution to get sleazy boosters out of athletics is to add more streams of money to the athletes. I mean jeez you can't actually think this is going to work out and be 100% honest
Nothing is ever going to be 100% honest. That's just the real world. The under the table boosters exist exclusively because of the structure of the NCAA. They do not exist in other sports. The NFL doesn't have boosters. The NBA doesn't have boosters. The Olympics doesn't have boosters.
The NCAA created the current environment out of their own archaic rules against athletes making any sort of money off of their play. If you're gonna try to remove the power of boosters, give the kids an alternative way to make some cash on the side. That's the only way the power of boosters will be cut down. We've been pissing into the wind for decades trying to cut down on boosters with the current rules and haven't had any luck.

Allowing students to "profit from their likeness" doesn't remove the "sleezy boosters". It just makes the payments legal.
Only if you want it to. It's pretty easy to put restrictions in place on where and how these kids can make money (for example, their likeness in video games) without legalizing payments from boosters.

I also love how you cherry pick that point from the entire post and ignore the rest.
But like I said, this is all conjecture based on our predisposed ideas of college athletes. So either way is just speculation until we see it in action.
Godspeed friend.

If boosters could provide funds legally via appearance contracts, signature contracts, T-shirt contracts, etc., what would be the point of doing so illegally?
The biggest danger would be the athletes being taken advantage of. That would be a legitimate concern.

Presumably, when the NCAA allows athletes to profit from their NILs it will also allow them to hire attorneys and/or licensed agents, like the bill in California will do for those there. And organizations like the National College Players Association would likely publish advisory material.
Valuable athletes with any sense should be able to wade those waters without being taken advantage of.
