[QUOTE="One Frog Nation, post: 2768871, member: 406"] No, I do. But once it is legal it will be more like the wild west. I agree something should be done but letting the players sell their image to the highest bidder (which is what this will become) isn't the right way. In the larger schools, today's walk ons will become a thing of the past and will be players paid by boosters. Nebraska, Texas and the like in the 1960s had double the players of today that will happen again without some type of control. This isn't about the swimmer giving swimming lessons, no one cares. This is about big bucks. And yes as I said before, it is a myth that the NC is open to all. What is there to prevent ESPN from promoting the Longhorn network by hiring players to act as commentators?
