NOTHING they do benefits middle class Americans.

No, the NCAA is doing that.

Keep your eye on the ball here. This is not about athletics.

 

[Capernum]

Actually, it is about athletics. How many of your fav athlete’s parents are going to be able to afford paying taxes on their full ride scholly?

If they're getting millions to play sports then they absolutely need to pay taxes!

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Actually grants and scholarships are taxable but can be offset.

I'm pretty sure NIL income is taxed.

Aside from a select few men’s football and basketball players, nobody is getting rich off of NIL.

They do. Clark talked about it on Travis and Jason Kelce's pod. Said the first time she had to pay taxes on her NIL was eye opening.

There are databases out there with NIL info. Trust me, most athletes are not making big money if any.

 

[Chewback]

Well they DO hate education and want to put an end to it.

 

[Capernum]

Back to the real issue though, anyone else with kid(s) in college who had to swallow hard when you read this?

Of course. Unless you're a "name" no one is gonna pay for your name, image or likeness.

But the "names" are making stupid money.

Do you have to stupid up every thread you participate in?

 

[bhawk24bob]

It sounds like they’re not interested in doing anything to the student loan repayment and forgiveness plans that are codified in law (signed by Bush 2).

 

[millah_22]

Trad, don't waste people's time like you just did.

If they're not paying for their NIL then no steak and no lobster.

Damn EBT is driving the prices on beef.

Lower than hating your country, its history and culture?
