Do I even care if it's true? I WANT to believe it is.

It's a good attempt to point out the hypocrisy.

There's a lot about this bill I don't like but I think the most succinct way to sum it up is that the NCAA did a poor job of managing its enterprise and let the whole thing crumble and the end result is that the same NCAA gets to basically draft a bill giving itself more power than it ever previously had and Congress gets behind it.

It's kinda difficult to predict the knock on effects of this thing if (when) it passes but I am decently confident that we're not going to be celebrating the NCAA's management of this.

Agree 100% except that I don’t think there’s any world in which it passes — in this format, its earlier format or any other. And in the rare instance that it does pass, the court cases will come fast and furious with its constitutionality questioned immediately.

Does the bill include a salary cap on school presidents and chancellors? And if it includes private schools, a cap on corporate CEO salaries?
There is no way to enforce any sort of money cap on what college athletes get paid. They got paid by lots of schools before NIL.
The bill is about the blue bloods hating a more level playing field and schools like Indiana (ugh) having a chance to contend. It’s why Saban is schilling for it in ads.

Any cap is a win for the old ways where teams could cheat all they wanted and enforcement is handed out unevenly.

This is the proverbial caught between the rock and a hard place,the past way wasn’t good neither is s the present sustainable and to be honest the future is probably riddled with potholes…..

There is a parallel with the entire academic universe over the last 30 or so years.

I haven't done much research on this. Shouldn't it be harder to make under the table payments now than it was pre-NIL?

There are three revenue streams.

1. NIL - no one knows exactly what's promised or how much is given. It doesn't matter, anyone can spend whatever they want.

2. Revenue Sharing - set at a specific amount, but who is tracking the actual numbers?

3. Untracked - Untracked money is useless in a full free market system. It's already absent any real limits, except what two teams are willing to spend. In any capped system, payment can now exceed an arbitrary number.

Who watches the cap? Who validates the cap for thousands of athletes? Free market means that there is no advantage except the amount of money you can offer, not how well you can skirt rules.

To directly answer your question, it's not easier or harder, it's just unnecessary to pay under the table. You donate that money to a collective or your business pays the player directly. I could pay a player to come shoot hoops with my kids for a couple hours if I wanted. Millionaires can do that at a much higher scale.
