It's going to be an absolute disaster, and not to be hyperbolic, it will end the sport, IMO.

There are so many things to consider about official employment when it comes to thousands of athletes on campus, I just can't see many programs having the wherewithal to go through with it.

At that point it's essentially an NFL G League, with no associated subsidy. (There would be no point for them to invest, because they're already getting player development for free.)

I agree wholeheartedly. I also fully understand how it is a BAD look in todays environment to have coaches, mostly white, making millions of dollars a year, schools making hundreds of millions and the people driving that revenue, a sizeable number who are not white, getting a seat in a classroom that doesn't cost the university a red penny (on paper it costs the AD but in reality adding one more desk is virtually free). Its a damned bad look in an industry which promotes itself as being progressive. That part of it is going to come to the surface sooner than later...it always does.
