[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2768856, member: 72863"] I think very few people propose flat out paying the players. But if players are allowed to make money off their likeness from outside sources, how in the hell do you regulate it? And once you allow some of it, the cat is out of the bag and it's over as far as going back. Are they still going to allow the transfer portal? Are they still going to allow graduates with eligibility to freely transfer wherever they want? How is this going to work? I'm open to suggestions, but I've yet to see one proposal that would even have the remotest chance of not sending this thing totally off the rails where competitive balance is forever gone and never coming back. Is that even a concern for people? Don't they understand that is absolutely critical for this entire system to work? And literally EVERYONE is much better off now than they used to be, including players. Tuition and the cost of going to college has risen like crazy for regular students over the past 20 years. It's risen exactly $0 for scholarship athletes. Not to mention the amenities they have access to while in school. Better dorms, much better food, much better training and rehab facilities, the list goes on and on. I guess I don't see what the big problem is. [/QUOTE]
