The NCAA isn't trying to inhibit Nico from receiving NIL.
lmao
Here, let me help:
inhibit
verb (used with object)
to restrain, hinder, arrest,
or check (an action, impulse, etc.).

No, there will be enforcement I hope. Through some kind of collective bargaining, most likely. For example, the portal must be reigned in, without a doubt.
But the odds that the final result will be more palatable (at least to me) are better than if we stayed with the current setup. That's what I believe.

No, I think you've pretty much grasped the essence of my argument.

Ok so here is my concern. You’ve alluded to it with collective bargaining, but in essence the outcome you are describing is a pro league.
I think that would be such a radical change to the status quo that it would result in either an unrecognizable product or a collapse of the system.
The first issue becomes, why do these schools have pro teams they are hosting. I’ve said this before, but the justification right now is that athletics is part of the education, the whole mind, body, spirit thing. The trouble is that a pro team is not an educational endeavor and thus is contrary to the schools’ mission. This is even a bigger issue for state schools as, among other problems, it may hurt their academic freedom shield against state interference.
The other big issue is the economics of the league. D1 sports in total brings in about 18billion in revenue, but that is across like 300 schools and dozens of sports. I’ll need to find it, but an ncaa report showed where that money came from and how it was spent. On the whole it is not encouraging that a separate football league is viable. Let’s assume that the schools have to split off their football programs into a separate league, which is a real possibility. We now have the issue of facilities who owns them and would there be a fee for usage. Same goes for the names and brands of the schools, presumably they will license these to the independent teams.
If that’s not enough change consider the relationship with the nfl. Will CFB only allow 4 years of play in its pro league and then players must move to the nfl? Maybe, but maybe not. Let’s say it doesn’t, now CFB is directly competing with the nfl. The nfl will not like that and may say players can come straight from high school or maybe they set up their own development league. Or maybe the nfl will set up the indecent teams as farm teams, but if that’s the case are you really going to like the team called Tennessee volunteers if all it is is the minors for the titans?
I know this is a bit doom and gloom, but I really don’t see a pro league working out. At least not in a way that we as CFB fans recognize it.
