[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2703877, member: 72863"] Without the platform to compete that the NCAA provides, there wouldn't be any profit for anyone, much less the athletes. Nobody would watch these kids compete if it weren't for the fact they are competing in NCAA-sponsored events. And the rules in place are precisely why there is any money involved to begin with. If the NCAA wants to go all-in on the semi-pro concepts that you describe, watch the money dry up immediately. We already know how much money these athletes generate without their school and the NCAA behind them....it's called the minor leagues. Check out how much interest there is in minor league sports. You can get a ticket to any game you want for about $5 and no TV network is willing to put down anything of substance to televise their games. That's how much these guys are worth without the NCAA. And again, nobody is making these guys do anything except that IF they decide to play NCAA sports, they have to follow NCAA rules. How people can't grasp this simple concept is beyond me. [/QUOTE]
