.I think that athletes should get $15/hr (freshman) when they are playing or practicing with the team. I would then incentivize players by raising the hourly rate year after year by 10%. I also would include annual post-season bonuses assuming they stay with the program. Think of it as the athletics equivalent of the College Work Experience Program (CWEP). This hourly rate would have to be funded by donations.
This would probably be equivalent to G-league money.but they wouldn’t be paying an agent. Obviously this would be taxed and the stipend would go away.
As far as title IX goes, the hourly rate would be available to all scholarship athletes during their season. Bonuses would be sports specific.
I like the idea of a sponsor providing a leased car to a player if they do commercials. We see Marc Daniels repping Greenway Ford, why not let that be Taylor Hendricks. That is literally the idea of NIL
Finally, I would allow athletes to engage in “future star” contracts with shoe companies. This would allow players to wear the shoes they want. This would also reward the best players.
