[QUOTE="Sweat Equity, post: 3345573, member: 69880"] This was a long (short) time coming. I am certainly no expert, but this is going to go far beyond athletics. Do you want the top entrepreneurs in the Entrepreneurial Program? (Pay them.) Top doc prospects in M.D. school? (Pay them.) Best pianist in the country? (Pay them.) Unis suck a lot of blood from the work of students and reap rich endowments larger than most private equity funds. The shift is coming. The "What can you do for me?" attitude will certainly unfold before our eyes Uni-wide soon, IMO. Those in The Pit know I do some work with OpenAI and they are hiring 18yr/olds at $300,000 p/yr. Granted, these are outlier software engineers, but there will be a point of inflection to where the top talent forgoes Higher Ed all together when they can get paid immediately, with confidence, elsewhere. (Or the uni could step up and pay that 18 y/o to run a lab and create some proprietary products which can be licensed for factors more, like Med schools do.) [/QUOTE]
