The NCAA is on borrowed time. I don't know why anyone felt that college athletes deserved more than they were getting in the first place. If they didn't like the arrangement, they didn't have to play. Go take out a loan, put yourself through school, and hit the workforce.
I agree 100%. A free education and a chance to audition for the nfl is a hell of a deal.
The only thing I'd change is if they could have come up with a way for athletes to profit off of NIL WITHOUT it being a way to buy players, I would have supported that. For example, the LANK shirts. That's what it should be.

NIL and the open transfer rules COMBINED together, have created the disaster. Its not necessarily one or the other that is wrong, but putting them together was and is toxic and unsustainable.

I think the players should all get a % of the revenues generated set aside in a trust account they gain access to after no longer being eligible... leave early for the draft, graduate, whatever.
Now that means the star QB's cut is the same as scholarship player #85...but splitting the team into financial haves and have nots is just a disaster.
Of course, the schools themselves don't want to give up a dime of revenue to players and prefer to just say "go make whatever money yourself"...but it's just not working... especially for a team environment.
And the transfer portal is the biggest negative. Whatever the answer is, you simply can't have a system where you have to
re-recruit your own team every year. There will have to be a contractual element. The NFL has contracts. Is it "fair" Mahomes can't be hired by Jerry Jones and the Cowboys for a 1 year $75 million contract and then to another highest bidding team a year later?
