No issue with kids getting non-professional $ but The University’s are the product…without the university nobody would pay to see a single college kid.

They are intertwined, one doesn't prosper without the other.

As a long time sports executive with over 30 years in the biz I can tell you College sports is a scam... It is a multi billion dollar industry and they have done a phenomenal job of not sharing it with players hiding under the "student athlete" mantra. Honestly surprised it's taken this long for system to blow up. The only reason it's so 'broken' today is that the power brokers refused to address this earlier because of pure greed.

The NIL is unsustainable, asking fans and donors in essence to pay for the responsibilities of the Universities!! Bananas

Not official at all, the same person who told me that a big named big east pg would be looking for greener pastures at the end of the season said don't be surprised if this happens. I just wanted to get it out there so in the case it turned out to be true, I'd look like a genius :D! Listen I don't have an NCAA rooting interest, there's no NIT games to go to, I'll have have is rampant speculation!

FYI if you hit the little arrow up button next to your name (in the quoted response section) it will bring you directly to that response. So you can trace back the conversation.

That's why I said local high schools. Preferably smaller, better academic, Catholic High Schools. Plenty in the city, including my alma mater, and certainly plenty on Long Island as well. I've watched them a lot over the years. I ain't going to watch CT(anymore), OSL, etc etc.

Players should get paid just like faculty and teachers do, they are there for one thing only... to drive revenues... if they didn't drive revenues, they would have to pay the school money like every other student does.

What about Title IX? If you put the men's basketball team on the university payroll, you're going to have to put the women's softball team on the payroll too. And every other sport, whether it drives revenue or not.

How many schools outside of the Power conferences can handle that? I don't know, but I've got to believe it'll be the beginning of the end for many.
 
For those so fed up with the direction of college sports that they feel like never watching them again you can pivot if you take Jerry Seinfeld’s take on rooting on sports and just root for the laundry.

Men's Basketball pays for everything in the St Johns Athletic Department...Everything.

It pays for soccer, lacrosse, golf, fencing (if we still have it), baseball, softball...everything.

When those lines cross, the Men's Basketball team no longer covers the expenses of the entire Athletic Department, that's when it hits the fan.

But Title 9 basically requires evening out scholarships which are generic whereas NIL is individual and everyone has their own value.

That is the one advantage of the otherwise horribly twisted NIL system. But once universities start paying players directly, Title IX will apply. You may not have to pay everyone the same, but you will have to pay the women athletes if you're paying the male athletes.

Fairness for all is a bitch to manage, ain't it???

This is a tight knot created over decades not easy to unknot...
