The issue though are many programs are generating a positive return though if the athletes become employees the NIL collective may revert more funds into the program directly instead of to the players.

That's AD revenue, but yes.. the alumni donor NIL funds would likely go direct to the U./AD. Add in "employee wages" for the other sports and the employee to earnings ratio gets even worse.

Here's the bad news.. if it goes that direction the gap will be filled by corporations. AKA "the end".
