Why would he have to run his business into the ground? If he could afford an 80 foot pleasure craft, maybe he could afford to pay three or four recruits. Or he could forego the $30,000 a night vacation in Monaco, or the live band at his next party.

None of those expenses differ from the current amount of money changing hands in college football recruiting. They don't change anything.

Sure it does. Under the new scenario proposed in the article, money from individuals and businesses can go to athletes in the open. No sneaking around with envelopes of cash. No worries about getting the institution in trouble. The rule would change everything, especially the amounts going directly to players from individuals and businesses, which will explode. And recruits will find out, one way or another, how much players are getting reimbursed for their services at various institutions.
