[QUOTE="Illini in Italy, post: 1691802, member: 748568"] In effect, the NCAA is now minor league football without the NFL having to pay for it. Everyone wants to vilify the NCAA for taking advantage of the players, when in fact it's the NFL that set up the restricted entry to the marketplace. Now that the players can be paid under NIL (and we've already seen multi-million dollar deals announced, it's very clear who the haves and have nots will continue to be. As much as it pains me to say it, under today's rules my vote would be to kill all college athletics, and let the colleges focus on their primary goal, which is to provide higher learning to students, not to provide minor leagues to the NFL and NBA.
