Just say you think it’s an archaic system of the patriarchy so we can move on.
you mean, just say something that makes me sound like a conservative caricature of a liberal.
if you consider yourself a proponent of free market capitalism and of ncaa athletics then it's time to just admit that you value the principles of capitalism less than those 12 saturdays per year.

You don’t want it to be a free market and neither do the players. Dropped that pass? You’re fired.

So the liberals want to create s system whereby a few can be compensated more, creating an even bigger divide between the haves and the have nots. Imagine that? All college football needs is a bunch of "Antonio Browns", running around trying to sell themselves to the highest bidder.
If I am company looking for someone to provide sponsorship, I am going to direct that person to where I want them to play (the university of my choice). If they play for Bama, and I own a sausage factory in Baton Rouge, guess what, now thru the transfer portal, Tua now wears purple and gold.
Why even bother with recruiting at that point? Just openly say if you are 5* player, you get $100,000 per game, etc.
This is a deal breaker for college athletics. No one will be playing for a university, they will be playing for themselves. That very premise is why the NFL, filled with primadonnas and wage inequality, is on the downfall. Viewership is lower all the time. People don't want to see that.
In reality, what I see is the fact that we have our priorities all on the wrong lane.
