The bigger problem is people not doing their research to understand how much they will make in the field of study they are going into. There's a lot of worthless degrees out there with no job openings to fill.

Inside of a brown egg shell is white so you only have a 50/50 chance
I’ve been in 2 myself. When I was 12, one lifted right before it got to our house. My mom woke me up about 10:30pm, the windows were crackling and we ran into the living room where my dad was sitting in front of tv still watching March Madness lol. It ended up causing damage less than a quarter mile from us.
The second time happened when I was in high school. My uncle and I just finished an evening bow hunt in Liberty, Ms. He had shot a deer so we went to look for it after dark. About 15 minutes in, it started raining, then you could feel the pressure drop making it difficult to breathe and this loud noise started as well. I looked up and saw all of the pine trees bent over when the lightening lit up the sky and started hauling arse back through the woods to the Bronco. I literally had to jump over downed pine trees. My uncle drove out of the woods like a madman (Bronco was shaking the whole time). We went back the next day and half of the trees were snapped in two about 25 ft up. I honestly don’t know how we survived. We must have had angels with us.

Now known as NBA Ben 10-71
I purchased this one on Amazon. Excellent quality, thick steel, etc. No warping issues. Looks like it may be out of stock, but there are other similar offerings on Amazon.

Quick update. Here's the link to their website. It looks like it will be back in stock May 15th.

Highly recommend looking up the Canada Icefields Parkway that goes up to Jasper. It's been a number of years, but I believe we drove up and stayed one night in Jasper. If I recall correctly, there was a visitors center where you could see multiple glaciers from one location and they had buses bring you right up to one of them.
If nothing else, figure out how far up the parkway you can day trip and try to catch a few of the stops along the way.

Maybe college should just go to the 53 player roster size like the NFL.

In researching some more, it looks like the wheels are already in motion for the federal government to get involved. In addition to the SCORE Act, I didn't realize Trump had issued the following EO:
“Saving College Sports”
Recently, the executive branch also entered the NIL realm as President Trump signed an executive order, titled “Saving College Sports,” recommending how NIL should be handled and directing government agencies to become involved. Signed on July 24, 2025, the executive order calls for the prohibition of third party, pay-for-play arrangements but permits legitimate, fair market value compensation provided by a third party to an athlete for deals such as brand endorsements. Additionally, the executive order directs the Secretary of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board to clarify the question of student-athletes as employees. The executive order also calls for the involvement of the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission, directing them to act regarding antitrust and other legal challenges. Further, to address the post-House Settlement concerns that schools will funnel resources away from women’s and Olympic sports to higher revenue sports like football or basketball, the executive order calls for the preservation and expansion of competition and scholarship opportunities in non-revenue sports. To do so, the executive order sets benchmarks based on the amount of revenue generated by athletic departments and directs the Department of Education to use the disbursement of federal funds, Title IX enforcement, and interstate commerce laws to influence schools. The executive order also provides that revenue-sharing be implemented in a way that protects women’s and non-revenue sports.

I wasn't suggesting the government gets to cap or limit income in any way. The "market" would dictate that. I'm more or less just referring to establishing guidelines, rules, etc.

I don't necessarily disagree, but even if there were 10 professional football leagues with 10 player's unions, that is still far fewer variables to solve/control.

It can't be "professional" like the NFL. There are too many "degrees of freedom" right now to solve it. The NFL is only two parties or degrees of freedom (NFL & the player's union). College football is 50 independent states with varying laws x 1000's of legislature representatives that make the laws x public & private universities x conferences.
The closest thing we "had" to governing all of these degrees of freedom was the NCAA and we've spent the last decade + tearing their power down. The only option I see to fill the void is a federal agency stepping in that can institute guidelines on a national level like the Dept of Commerce since technically transactions, games between colleges, etc. are occurring across state lines giving them jurisdiction. I'm not an expert in the government agency jurisdictions, so maybe Dept of Labor or some other agency is the more appropriate choice.
The federal government getting involve isn't necessarily what I want to see happen but I don't see how else you can get EVERYONE aligned and following the same set of rules on any sort of reasonable timeline.
