Need to see the fine print. College sports as we know it could be over.

Haven't been keeping up but this doesn't seem to bode well for schools with smaller TV markets. Can someone change my mind?
There will be a lot of rules and restrictions on this, and the big schools will still circumvent it with their bagmen and illegal money laundering schemes like funneling money through churches. Church laundering is how Clemson currently buys its players.
I still maintain that you have to be careful what you wish for.
NCAA Football is back!
Depending on how this all pans out, I may be out of college athletics before long.
I despise pro sports for this very reason (money). It's a good thing that TCU will have the stadium reno done before then.
I remember there being a lot of talk on that being how Cam Newton ended up at Auburn. I like to believe churches would think better of participating in something like that but know thats wishful thinking. The tax benefit going to the contributor through this method as opposed to straight cash makes sense as well. The potential of this at Clemson (considering their recruiting rating year after year) is one reason I don't think Dabo is as squeaky clean as he paints himself. Their muted response to the 3 PED positives during the playoffs last year said a lot as well.There will be a lot of rules and restrictions on this, and the big schools will still circumvent it with their bagmen and illegal money laundering schemes like funneling money through churches.

If you despise money in sports, you should have been out on college football since...I dunno, the 80's at least? The only thing we're quibbling about now is where the money goes, not the existence of money in the sport.Depending on how this all pans out, I may be out of college athletics before long.
