Well looks like everything is moving back to the AD and University like it was before. UNT will have to have some steep budget cuts if they are spending 20-30 of their budget to athletes. probably will have to drop some sports as well. Sad!
Here’s a couple more anecdotes for you to spin:
I coached a kid that played basketball at Wichita St. Average work ethic, tons of talent.
I also coached a kid that played football at UT. Average to above average work ethic, elite talent.
I doubt most D1 players don’t work any harder than their high school teammates, they just have more talent. I would even say that many less talented players have to work harder just to be able to get on the field.
I know there are a few high school coaches on the board. I’d love to hear their experience.
Also looking like by moving the collectives back into the athletic department they can regain the tac benefit:
“There is, however, another incentive to drive donors to give to schools now that the universities can pay players directly: Their donations are subject to tax deductions, unlike those to a collective.”

Winner: Boosters and fan pocketbooks
Athletic departments are still going to need boosters to make big-money contributions, arguably now more than ever as their budgets are squeezed amid a decrease in NCAA distributions and the advent of revenue-sharing. But the boosters and casual fans won't be so directly needed to fund talent acquisition. The term "booster fatigue" has become common in the college sports lexicon. Now, the primary onus for paying the players will be on the athletic departments. That takes financial pressure off supporters, who are already shelling out for seat licenses, season tickets, travel, merchandise, parking, concessions, cable packages and all the other expenses that come with being a college sports fan.
