If it is highest bidder, then the margin between the "haves" and the "have nots" will grow even larger.

One thing I wish student athletes should be able to do is major in football or basketball and let their meetings and practices count as coursework because that is why most of them are there in the first place. It makes no sense why some of these kids who are academically inept or aren't willing have to take up space in college classes they don't want to be in.

So you basically want to put a bunch of idiots into the world, who will be broke by the time they are 30. Many already are. If you want to do that, why even have a football program associated with the university. Just create a developmental league, which will ultimately damage college football. It amazes me people want to destroy college football and turn it into the NFL. Not to even mention the vast majority will never even sniff the NFL.
