Since I’ve not seen it started elsewhere, I’ll start it here!
I just bought four (4) tickets to ACU’s football season opener @ Smu, or, as I like to think of it, “ACU whups Joe Golding’s brother-in-law’s team”!
Go Wildcats!! BEAT the Ponies!!!!

What outlet did you buy them through? I have not been contacted by ACU yet like when we played UNT or Baylor.

We got ours from the ACU email link. I think I did 219. My only question was when I received my email confirmation of the purchase, the images didn't show (couldn't open). Were the actual electronic tickets on that confirmation email? I have my confirmation number on there, but don't know if I need to get with that company's support.

I read that tix to be distributed electronically 48 hours prior to game. |

Not to say this is a direct cause and effect of the new NCAA policy. However...I do expect SMU and other colleges with deep alumni bankrolls/business opportunities to change the football player recruiting landscape. In my opinion it looks like the same thing SMU received the death penalty for back in their Pony Excess heyday.

That was something I was curious about. Are there any rules against negotiating these deals as part of the recruiting process? If there are they seem like they would be impossible to monitor. One thing that I saw which I thought to be an interesting take is that good players who end up being backups at major universities may end up at smaller schools (like ACU) not purely due to playing time, but due to the deals that come with playing time. For example, the back up QB at the University of Houston might not make as much money as he would if he was the starter at ACU. Of course, that is just an example, but it was an interesting argument about how this doesn't just make the rich schools richer. We will see how it actually plays out in real time. |

I'm not sure how the money flow is monitored. Below is a interesting link to an article on Pros & cons.
I would think sponsorships, endorsements, cars received lease or otherwise, will definitely have tax implications to athletes that they don't presently have with their current NCAA scholarship money. Currently NCAA scholarship money is not taxable. Some of the article talks about NCAA insurance requirements & disproportionate amount of minorities driving the NCAA cash cow. I just hope these youngsters are schooled on the importance of their education and they have a good accountant.

Read an article earlier that someone is paying $6000 ($500/month) to every U of Miami player. I’ll try to find more.
