Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
There will likely be contracts associated with NIL with stipulations and provisos regarding expectations around the payment. They will likely entail, class attendance, grade thresholds and integrity clauses.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Listened to the WSJ podcast this morning and many believe their will be a further push to classify athletes as full employees. This would increase costs even further and faster. Will the power 2 or 4 give in here or do they fight for this treatment for football and basketball only?
I hope we're still able to offer opportunities to gifted students that need them, whatever college athletics looks like and what classification we fall into.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
If they are employees, the state can and will cap their income. They could also end athletic scholarships for any employees who sign an employment contract. This, would end up saving a lot of money.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 7:09 amListened to the WSJ podcast this morning and many believe their will be a further push to classify athletes as full employees.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Something to think about in that regard. Will states shut down certain programs in order to not have to pay athletes as employees?

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
You don’t think that state employees have these types of stipulations in their contracts? Besides, they won’t be actual employees. They will likely work as contractors and get paid with 1099 forms so that they can be “terminated” after each yearly review.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Those payments are not required. So, the school can still do NIL deals with whatever monies they decide to allocate. There is no requirement that a school spend $20M. The school still decides how those monies will be allocated and to whom. Its unclear at this point what impact Title IX will have but nothing prevents schools from putting stipulations on the monies shared with athletes.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
This brings up a good point. If they are employees, contract or direct hire, they don’t work for App. They work for the State of North Carolina. So is there a sliding scale that determines compensation? How does the State pay a LB more at a Carolina than at a NCA&T?hapapp wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 8:48 amThose payments are not required.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
They will have a very hard time getting clasified as contractors. Laws would have to change in order to do that.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 8:14 amYou don’t think that state employees have these types of stipulations in their contracts?

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Interesting. How so? I’m curious. My only thought as to why they would have to be contractors is due to the need to annually renew much like the current scholarship model. If you have limits on the number of “employees” that you have, then how do you cut loose underperforming employees? Is NC a right to work State?bcoach wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 9:39 amThey will have a very hard time getting clasified as contractors.

Speaking of laws, I imagine as employees, tax payers are paying for those salaries. Would such a thing require a referendum by the citizens of the State? Having them as employees gets very tricky, very fast.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
There are guidelines around independant contractor status. One is you would not be able to require them to attend meetings or set their hours.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 9:51 amInteresting.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
The student athletes could be classified as, as needed employees, which would only get a contract for the game day in which they play. This is how substitute teachers are classified in order to receive no benefits. Everyday is a one day contract. Actually, you can work two half days in one day and have two separate contracts for that full days work. The athletes may get a separate contract for each quarter or half.bcoach wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 9:59 amThere are guidelines around independant contractor status.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
They could also be temporary employees on an 11 month contract. Wonder if NCAA guidelines would still apply to time spent on athletics. If so, they would be part time employees. If they’re not required to be students then I guess they could be full time. It’s pretty complex, even more so for state schools.
WE ARE YOSEF!

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Virtually no chance they’re classified as independent contractors, school would have way less control over them and no way the state would pass up on all that pay roll tax.bcoach wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 9:59 amThere are guidelines around independant contractor status.

Most states are making harder to be a true contractor, especially blue states like California etc.

Re: NCAA and Prig5 anti trust settlement
Thankfully the majority are. I have a son in law who played football and was a good student. I also have a grandaughter who plays college VB and just finished her freshman year with a 3.7. Just a tiny sample but there are many, many more. There are also many that you refer to and that is a travisty suported by us.
