“This notion that you have to come up with tens of millions of dollars to pay kids to play basketball, and have them be free agents every year and transfer to another school and get more money every year. Like, we don’t even get to do that in the NBA. Can you imagine if players in the NBA got to be a free agent every year?

That and no salary cap. Team Salary Cap helps ensure that everyone is somewhat competitive.

The current market would be if MLB had no contracts. So the Yankees, Dodgers and Mets would just buy the best players. A's and Rays would go 20-140.
We somehow have to get contracts. I think that is more important that a salary cap. Contracts first or at least back to the old sit out a year on transfer, then sorry about salary caps.

Wouldn't contracts or salary caps just make it semi-professional then? That's the only obstacle I see since it's an amateur sport.

I'd have to see this to believe it.

I don't disagree but we are in emergency mode. I heard a podcaster talk about this and it makes sense.
We are in year 5 of a 10 year problem. High school players are getting scholarships to D1 schools at a drastically lower level. P5 and especially SEC want older experienced players. This down hill effect is high school players aren't going to go to JuCo or lower college football. They just hang it up.
At some point the talent level is going to fall off especially in the trenches. We just haven't seen it yet.
So we need to fix the system to provide a place for high school kids to keep the sport we love afloat because shorty down the road the talent is going to drop off tremendously.

CBB is taking several players from foreign pro leagues every year now.
They just don’t allow American pros and that seems like a very winnable lawsuit away.

I don't think you can fix it. NIL in theory is a great idea.
School sells your jersey with your name on it, you get a cut.
If Nike or a local car dealership wants you to be in a commercial, you get paid. It was never suppose to have University or Booster involvement.
Now it's just we will wire you 250k every month during the season and oh btw here is a fricking Lambo if you sign with our team. College sports as an amateur sport is dead and will never return. fricking shame.

Yes it's going to push a lot of kids to Baseball, Lacrosse, Soccer, etc.

So it’s a great idea if you completely overlook the elephant in the room.

Well obviously we all knew this was going to happen. I don't know if we all thought UT was going to spend 40 M on their roster each season.
I think we can all agree that if a University sells merchandise that is directly linked to a player's popularity, that player should get something.
Where we are at now is a nightmare

Then: Texas you have all this money and only one title in 50 years!!! LOL
Now: Texas, please stop spending all that money, you’re ruining the sport :(

It never happened.

I'm just using Texas as an example because they are spending the most. Everyone is doing it. Texas isn't ruining anything. It's already ruined.

Only a matter of time until it implodes.

It was so obvious what was going to happen, the people willingly cheering on the introduction of NIL because they thought it would be what you described above were living in a dream world
Once the door was opened schools were always going to use these NIL contracts as buying leverage for recruits. In fact, that was the best case scenario. What is actually happening is worse
