[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1392304, member: 586845"] There would definitely have to be some careful consideration of how to handle this specific issue, and I don't honestly know how you go about that. However, something's got to give here. The current status quo is unsustainable. Maybe there would need to be some kind of rules about the sorts of endorsements that are allowed to avoid the problem of shell companies giving sham deals, but that seems like a slippery slope as well. I am not 100% convinced this would happen, but I can certainly see why it might. Perhaps individual universities could handle that. Certainly universities will still need direct donations for facilities, so they could individually make stipulations about certain percentages of any donation funding the non-revenue sports as well. It would be similar to how federal contracts work on the academic side of research university, where the school takes a certain percentage as overhead to fund staff and services. I think this is the most important point. This is why it has to happen. It has to be worked out somehow, and I think it can be done without flat out paying student athletes a salary. [/QUOTE]
