quote:People don't like to hear it but this is the truth of the thing. The NCAA chose to die on the amateur hill without having a backup plan in place to retain order in a worst case scenario.
The NCAA clearly had rules in place... you can't tell an adult he/she can't make money while collecting Billions of dollars. If you want to place blame, blame the colleges AD/presidents and coaches who raked in money for decades while not planning for the future.
The conferences and/or NCAA could put more guardrails in place, but they will need to recognize that the students are employees and there will be collective bargaining and revenue sharing - which would likely come out somewhere around 50% based on precedent with other professional leagues which opens another can of worms.
In some ways better for the schools to continue retaining all of the revenue and let the payment to players come from NIL vs. revenue sharing.

The schools just hate revenue sharing. It costs them money. It’s the only way out though. Share revenue, collectively bargain, sign contracts. Works in the NFL.
Oh. It was never NIL. It’s been pay for play the whole time.
My you rot in h3ll Ed O’bannon.
