    And this marks the end of amateur sports at the college level. If I were a local school board, I would think long and hard about continuing offering organized athletics at any level. They will now be directly in the crosshairs of the leeches that have destroyed college sports.

    This is what happens when the federal government get involved in amateur collegiate sports. The NCAA has been far too involved in the daily personal lives of student athletes.

    Now can we claim the 1984 National Championship and all the SEC Championships that the SEC conference stole from the Gators for "NIL" compensation?

    By the way, I still do not think this is about universities being able to hire student athletes directly to make them employees, like some people think it is. This is solely about back NIL compensation which I disagree with.

    However, the NCAA's rule that no students could work on their own for more than such and such money was dumb from the beginning, especially if these were off campus jobs that they prevented student athletes from getting.

    How on Earth could a college/university student (non-athlete) work and that's okay, but not a student athlete. That should have never been a thing to begin with.

    But we need to make sure that no one in collegiate athletics can work for their universities. If that shoe falls it's all over for college sports.

    The NCAA upper management is now under the influence of the NFL and they cannot be trusted.

    The SEC should take control of their own rules committee and management... governing body.

    Time to find NEW NCAA management, and ditch the old one.

    I would think the Mustangs could sue like everyone else, but I highly doubt they would ever do it!

    $1.6 Billion in damages. Power 5 conferences on the hook for 40% of that. Remaining conferences pick up 60%. Talk about big brother keeping little brother down. Non P-5 conferences are a bit miffed about that.

    The NCAA sold the SEC and every other conference down the river with this capitulation to BS.

    This money giveaway has nothing to do with the NIL, it's a giveaway to who knows whom for who knows what. But if it's about benefits that players were denied then in the past then The Gators should claim the 1984 Natty (denied for benefits) and the other SEC Championships we are due becasue of benefits. Benefits that were NOT from their school, but instead were NIL type benefits, that triggered an NCAA violation.

    The Gators are the 1984 SEC Champions, and the 1984 National Champions too. The NIL type violations are now nullified and so are NCAA violations for "illegal" NIL player's compensation.

    In aftermath of House settlement, here are the most important remaining questions

    That's not the point. It's a retroactive lawsuit.

    The sad thing it that its not really the Feds (except for the NLRB's that are being asked to classify players as "employees"). New statutes by State governments and the various court actions have gutted what was left of any oversight by the NCAA after they abandoned the concept of trying to police member institutions to create a somewhat level playing field.

    A few pancake dinners at the Waffle House each month. And don't think the HS X won't try to compete HS Y to get him to come play for them. God forbid some school authority tries to use zoning to limit where he decides to matriculate.

    We can throw in the 1985 and 1990 SEC titles too. I want to see them all on the wall of our Stadium RIGHT NOW, and while they are at it, dust off that 1984 trophy we have in a closet somewhere and put it back in the hardware case.

    So are they going to retroactively resurrect all the old conferences? Cool, we get to root against the Big 8, the SWC, and the Big East again!

    lol, I wonder what percentage of nfl players come from power 5? Those are the only ones that could make money for the most part.
