NCAA ruling impact on hockey

[Trotsky]

If anything this should help us no? I could see teams like Harvard struggle as the super talented players that they usually recruit will just go elsewhere but our team is always built around players staying all four years and those types of players don't typically get recruited by many, if any, better colleges.

The blue chip factory players may stay longer if they are getting paid.  Hahvahd alums can pay their players and the school can't stop them.

So can ours, but I don't think any of us are hedge fund criminals.

there is an interesting question from the Ivy league perspective. The league as a whole doesn't offer scholarships.  Sure hyp have more financial aid available, but it's with no scholarships it's a fairly level playimg field.

I wonder what the league"s desired position is on  NIL collectives paying players per the existing NCAA rules, what it's desired position will be on paying players via the revenue sharen model we've been reading about, and then what the lawyers will actually allow the league to do collectively.

Clearly so far it's been a non issue to collectively agree not to offer athletic scholarships.

I can see a few scenarios where the league would be legally required to pay players, like if college athletes end up legally classified as employees,.or if as NCAA members the schools.end up having to participate in that rev share model.

If either of those happen, then I could see trouble, because coming up with a one size fits all salary structure for the athletes might well be considered illegally collusive.  And if so, then payment levels will vary by school and sport.

Well, earlier this year the NLRB voted that members of Dartmouth's men's basketball team are indeed employees. And team members didn't even need athletic scholarships to qualify as employees.

If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. ::popcorn::
