It is exactly that. Top programs will figure out a way soon enough to get away from this being associated with the school or NCAA. It will be a minor league system that is completely funded by some conglomerate of teams in agreement with the NFL for financial reasons. Unfortunately, this is going to suck major arse for ALL sports programs at Universities. Sad they didnt see this coming, but RIP womens soccer that will have no funding

LOL wut? I guess if Georgia rebrands as the Savannah Bulldogs and moves out of town then maybe but last I checked the University owns, operates, and controls the hiring of all athletic facilities and personnel.
The hand wringing going on over this is funny, it’s not nearly the death knell people are making it out to be. shite, most of the stuff people seem to be romantic about hasn’t actually existed since the 1950s if it ever actually existed at all (i.e. pure amateurism ceased to exist in the early 1900s when schools - including the Ivy League - began offering scholarships and lowered admission standards to prospective players.
And last I checked, this has 0 impact on what a school does or doesn’t fund. Schools aren’t writing checks here, local and National businesses are based on what helps their advertising.
