Poacher either pays a fee to the institution losing the player or else the player repays and the poacher makes the player whole. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Nust covering scholarship $ though is not much comp.

Nothing more than a buy out clause.

Let me guess what your reaction would be if you walked into work tomorrow and your employer tried getting you to sign a similar clawback to stop you from leaving.

As far as “setting the terms” that’s free market, baby. Unless you’re arguing for socialism or something.

People should be able to make as much as they can, as long as I agree with it. Lmao some people

Next I’m gonna hear someone say that they should cap how much a school can be paying their players. We hated D2 because they nerfed our ability to gobble up all the best players. But now we’re a small fish in a big pond we want guardrails. Hmm

I think a big area of difference is some people now view college football as a job or career, whereas for most of us, college has been something you do before your career. Depending on how you view that probably determines what you think of all this.

How long before there are actual contracts between players and schools? And then holdouts and trades? Should be the next progression I suppose

Probably going to need a union for that.

And then at some point, why does it have anything at all to do with colleges?

It's professional. Club sports will reign in the future. They'll continue to offer things like music, art, and drama... which actually benefit more students anyway.

I agree the college model is going the way of the dodo.

This happens in real life all the time. Why not expand it to football?
The 'Build Dakota Scholarships' is a tool for a business to sponsor a student. In return the student is obligated to work for that employer for a period of time.
It's not such a strange concept.

I think we can agree that society (not just kids) need a refresher course in loyalty and honoring your commitments.

Good luck with your strange crusade

Audit has made some going points in the past about comparisons to club football. Probably the best we can hope for at this point. I’ve been somewhat hesitant about it in the past as I think it completely ruins the “kids going to school playing ball” aspect but I’m ready to stop kidding myself about that.

It’s pretty much what everyone is asking for anyways. That the smaller schools receive some kind of compensation for having the rights to a player in the league. Finders fee, compensation for training, etc. whatever you want to call it.

The “schools” pay the player for their services, not using this strange money under the table setup. Actual rules that are enforceable and can act as a deterrent against cheating. A transfer window that works and the ability for kids to participate in spring ball without having to bail in the previous fall.

Of course this would cost the big schools money so it’ll never happen, but hey a girl can dream can’t she
