Basically anyone who was in favor of players getting money…..the point was that they should be able to work like other college kids. They should be able to do autograph shows. They should be able to “profit off their likeness”. And a large part of it was “the schools, TV networks, shoe companies, and the NCAA are all making money and a lot of these players have no money - they should get a piece of that.”
Instead the solution is for fans to pay them.
LOL, ridiculous. I’m never contributing a dime. What a bunch of BS.

In all honesty, I think we’re witnessing the demise of college sports… not just SU, but in general. And the teams that fork out the most money will win. In the end it’ll be meaningless… what good is a title if your payroll (YK, Duke, Kansas, etc) is 10x that of everybody else. Congratulations you bought the best team…. that’s about it. Sad really.

Hopefully they’ll figure out a way to make it better, but I can’t say I’m real optimistic. I wish the TV networks, shoe companies, universities, and NCAA were the ones paying up, with it being split equally amongst all the programs. So, in effect, a salary cap. And if players can get their own endorsement deals, go for it. So the places where the fans really support their teams will still likely have an edge….as they always have. Also, enforce rules against tampering, and find a way to establish more continuity within programs rather than this complete free for all we have now. It’s more or less pickup, with guys rolling with whoever they feel like from year to year.

I never really liked the idea of them profiting at all.
Theoretically, 99.99% of them are worthless entities without the jersey. They get a free education. They get a stipend. You have all sorts of agreements in the real world that stops you from doing silly crap to make money on the side. I've never quite seen the sense of them getting paid. Go to the D-League like Bazley, go to Europe, go make mix tapes...who cares.
If Joe Girard just sat in front of Mario & Salvos for 4 years without ever playing college hoops nobody is paying him for a signature. He's delivering pizza within a month - and then getting fired because he would eat it before it go to its destination.

I was told that you’re not a real fan if you don’t donate. The amount of money the university brings in with basketball andkicking a willing billionaire to the curb while asking for money is disgusting.
I look forward to about 3-4 years when there are a bunch of collectives throughout the college ranks are deemed fraudulent, can see it from a mile away.
I was going to give up on Cuse and college basketball but I like Red, I want to watch him succeed so I’m going to stay true, if things don’t change in a year or two I’m 100% out and putting my passion into the NBA.

Yup. You want a donation from me, take it out of my ticket purchases, my apparel purchases, and my Dome Blue Light purchases. That’s plenty, as far as I’m concerned.

No joke I have pulled all my donations to SU athletics and moved them to private charities. The attitude on the other board and acceptance of bee hive mentality has really turned me off. Red can earn my support back but I am not going to throw money away anymore after how we let Boeheim hijack our program. I only gave a couple of thousand each year for tax purposes but enough is enough. Our Athletic department sucks.

Has nothing to do with Autry.
