I mean, if people thought this was going to level the playing field any, they just haven't seen the Alabama Athletics machine at work...

I hope that wasn't the intention, because it's going to have the exact opposite effect. The high profile programs in the parts of the country where college athletics are a big deal will see the most benefits, and then you'll have media outlets begin questioning whether this was a mistake when Pac-12 athletes see minimal financial windfalls from it because - spoiler alert - people on the West Coast continue to not give a frick about college sports.

Yep. The same people in the media that are crying about how everything is unfair and athletes should benefit from their likeness will be bitching that the elite schools will have an even bigger recruiting advantage now.
