Correct. Entering into an organization with a predefined set of rules in order to participate is part of the free market.
No one was preventing the NFL, or any other organization, from starting a minor league where players could forego college and get paid.
The OP is nonsense.

How is it nonsense in that you agree with me?

Learn to read
do the minor league thing, and then get scholarship contracts vetted!

Part of a free market is the ability for individuals to come together and agree to a set of rules in order to create a product/service to the benefit of all of them. Removing that ability is a violation of not only the free market, but of individual liberty. Nobody forced players to play in the NCAA, quite the opposite. If people want to come together and form a completely communist community, that's actually part of the free market. As long as it's voluntary. It is not part of the free market to allow people into that community and then start forcing that community to other standards because "free market". TL;DR: Government intervention is the opposite of a free market unless it's things like fraud, slavery, etc.
Oh holy frick.

How are they going to keep giving big pay for play deals (not nil call it what it is) when people eventually get tired of this crap that's happening and stop watching or stop going to games. You can run your mouth all you want to about fans,but that's who pays and or watches so they can get paid big bucks.
I don't watch NBA at all anymore used to love it , I don't watch MLB anymore used to love it, I barely watch NFL anymore. College football is the only thing I really couldn't do with out but I'm about done with it, it's to much like NFL I loved college football because it was different it had passion, it was authentic. Yeah every one knew some players got money we all knew that, but it didn't ruin the sport. It's getting ruined with all the transferring and none passionate play. Players run out of bounds instead of trying to get the first down now just like the NFL. It's turning into minor league NFL.
I'm not running my mouth about fans you idiot. I'm advocating for fans to take fricking control of the situation!
Stop giving money! DO IT!
holy shite yall are fricking hard headed

If the NCAA had just done this on their own, it would have been fine. They could regulate and do other things that they can't do now.

You’re damn right I do. This isn’t professional football. Go to the nfl if you don’t want to be a student of the university you play for. Do you realize what you’re advocating for? You people are ruining the best sport around because you’re retarded money grubbers. You’ll see. Soon.

Because you're an idiot and have no concept on freedom and liberty. You are incapable of respecting the rights of both parties involved and think 1 party has the right to dictate over another.
What was once a voluntary system is no longer voluntary, as the NCAA is forced to accept those they built a system around not accepting.

The market had already decided. The government had to step in and force the NCAA to allow players it wouldn't have allowed in the past, which completely destroyed it's entire model.
It's not a free market until the NCAA is allowed to decide for itself without the government forcing them to allow these things.
