[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3094532, member: 7831"] I'm not sure if I understand why this would necessarily be bad for non-revenue sports. For schools that own their stadiums and facilities, the leasing of those (as well as trademarks, names and everything else) would generate quite a bit of money for the universities, which could then use that money to fund the remaining athletic program in ways not too dissimilar to the way they do now. The football corporation could then pay players directly rather than going through NIL hoops, the Presidents and Chancellors and Boards would no longer be responsible for running the football program and, instead, there would be "owners" which consisted of big money donors who would hire and fire GM's and coaches and staff. And small-money donors could also be "shareholders" with a stake in the corporation. The major "change," I think, would be deciding whether the players also had to be "students." I suspect not. Would there be a union? What would be the governing body? The conferences? Would all this happen at once in some sort of grand transition or would some schools do it first and the remainder decide whether to follow? How long would such a transition take? What would be the structure for the schools that opted out? Would current conferences allow schools to remain members if they were legally restructured in this way? Would we have competing systems and competing "national championships" for awhile? It sounds fairly complicated and the lawyers setting it up seem certain to make a lot of money. I suspect also that there might be some arguments and lawsuits. 10 years seems fairly quick for a major change of this magnitude. [/QUOTE]
