The integrity is already gone. Steroids were around when I was in college eons ago. Money has always been a factor. Jan Kemp exposed athletics under Dooley, and then you had Herrick. Now it is the farce of special qualifiers.

I value all of your opinions. In a perfect world, I would love to see the return of student athletes. I'm not holding my breath.

How about this, should a kid be forced to sit a year if he wants to transfer?

Fine, start paying players. Then allow the conferences to impose fines for late hits and such. Also, discipline cases who get shitcanned? They have to repay whatever they earned. Athletes who aren't performing? Re-negotiation time. Team's not winning? Re-negotiation time. You don't produce, you don't get paid, welcome to the real world.

Plus, player money has to be paid from program revenue - no fair putting taxpayers on the line.

If these guys want it to be a straight up business, they'll probably find out very quickly that they were better off the other way, especially when the number of programs drastically contracts, and far fewer of them get to play.
