[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2022536, member: 746137"] Does the NCAA have enforcement power over direct pay for play by the school? Possibly arguably not. But direct pay for play by the school makes the players unambiguously employees, which opens up a whole other kettle of fish (and expense) schools are rightfully scared to open. Not playing the middleman between booster and athlete suits the schools just fine, for as long as that can sustain itself. But of course the schools do want control and so we get the legal fiction of something like Icon. They are Super PAC's for college sports, same concept serving the same function for the same legal reasons. [/QUOTE]
