US EditionContracts? Study at 1 school, play for another? Ambitious pitches to revamp college sports
- University of Albany coach Dwayne Killings proposed a two-way contract for college athletes inspired by the NBA's G League system to develop players through game time at multiple schools.
- This proposal comes as schools await a federal judge's ruling on a pending $2.8 billion legal agreement involving the NCAA and its five major conferences, which, if approved by July 1, would enable institutions to distribute revenue directly to athletes.
- Meanwhile, experts note that athletes lack employment status, and legal rulings on this issue are unlikely within 5-10 years due to political changes after Donald Trump's election affecting courts and labor boards.
- Penn State NIL collective director Rich Stankewicz supports incentive-based contracts that reward athlete performance and retention during playing seasons, addressing risks of players leaving after upfront payments.
- These developments reflect a dynamic higher education environment with uncertain implementation outcomes but potential shifts in athlete compensation and transfer pathways across programs.
