sick of NCAA /Amateurism talk

So you have no doubts that some booster or boosters, anywhere in the US, wouldn't drop $100,000 on some jerseys?

Say 3 top boosters that would be willing to drop $100,000 buying up player jerseys, then write it off as donating clothing to charity!
I can see the scam take form right now in my head.



So 3 boosters, $300,000. Players get 6% of all those Jersey's bought up. Yeah, thats clearly no recruiting advantage to be exploited. A few schools could pull that off.

And you think this is different than a few boosters paying off kids directly right now???

I doubt you're going to find boosters willing to do this every single year for every recruit. It's simply impractical and EASY to trace.

Try again.

Didn't feel like seeing Mark and star keep biting each others dicks, so I skipped...

I don't think the schools should have to give the athletes more money on top of the education and travel expenses, but I do think the student athlete should be able to do whatever they want with their own name to make money.

If the athlete wanted to purchase 100 of his jerseys, autograph them all, then sell them for $100 more than he purchased them, he should be able to do that. The NCAA or whoever have already got their cut when he originally bought them.

As for Louisville making money off of Ware, as long as they aren't using his name, nothing he can do really. I think he should be able to use that himself though, buy some jerseys, have his name put on them, autograph them, and sell them. Hell if I was him, I would get pictures of the moment I broke my leg, autograph them and sell'em. They should be able to do this legally, as long as the NCAA gets their money from the original purchase of the jersey.
