I guess I don't understand how it's that hard to do that...but I'm also not one of the people who says they'll stop watching sports because a guy gets on a knee even if I personally stand up and put my hand on my heart for the anthem. Just enjoy the game, because that is all it is...just because 4-5 kids on a team get a $1,000 check doesn't change how the game itself makes you feel, or how watching your alma mater win should.

I won’t unplug until the UK’s and Memphis’ of the world start openly starting shell companies to funnel money directly to recruits with cash transfers the day they show up to campus and matriculate.

And yes, those types of shenanigans are going to start pronto.

If they do that, and money is coming directly from the Universities, they're going to be fined to frigging Alpha Centauri by the DOE for being out of compliance with Title IV, because I can guarantee there will be federal funds in there somewhere...especially if general student fees still go into Athletic Department budgets.

It wil be boosters funding it. The schools will only be involved in the distribution and decision marking by the staffs when targeting recruits.

Won’t need World Wide Wes types anymore. Bag man will be all legit.

All I'm saying is if the school distributes the money (which isn't legal based on the current framework by the way) and they take ANY federal funding to pay the bills in Athletics, they will need to have the cleanest books in the history of planet Earth to not be taken to the woodshed by the T4 compliance people. For the record, any school that takes student fees for athletics uses Federal monies...so that would be every public institution in America with the exception of, like, 4 if USAToday's database is up to date on the Fee distributions.
