The age of athlete compensation in university sports could become much more complicated with a pending Supreme Court decision.
A solution in the case of House v. NCAA would allow all divisions in -schools to share revenue directly with students athletes if it receives final approval this month.
The current system of NIL compensation, in fact since the summer of 2021, has been exposed to its share of control. But universities that pay athletes directly would anything but erase the “amateurism” that historically defined American college sports.

Former NFL and college football player Jack Brewer is strongly against the concept.
“We have to return to student athletes,” Brewer told Pakinomist Digital.
“If a person wants the freedom to make as much money as they want and can take advantage of the sport to do so, they should definitely be able to it-and they can in our professional leagues. But there is no place for an unlimited amount to be paid to people in college sports. They should be student athletes, which is what they sign up for.”

Brewer claimed that revenue sharing would aggravate a problem created by Nil since his legalization of 2021 – declining degrees of graduation.
“You will continue to see students who are no longer focused on school because their incentive to go to college is no longer to get an education but to make money,” Brewer said. “It is not right for universities to take advantage of this loophole and recruit student athletes who no longer have to focus on being a student.”
