[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1957755, member: 4069"] I don't agree with the way you've framed it --that this will kill off the cash cows of football and bball, and therefore the subsidized sports as well. If you feel that way, your post makes a lot more sense. To me, "member run" monopoly is still a monopoly that sucks up wages for itself. And I'm being charitable here, to say they have a spotty record of enforcement. I suppose a lot of this boils down to free-market arguments, and whether you like the colleges restricting some athletes to subsidize others. As a fan, I don't like all the changes, but I accept that it's a heck of a lot better for the guys risking their bodies, and investing their time and energy in entertainment for fans. To me, that's fairer. And I think a centralized business model can lead to more corruption. If you think there's too much money at the school or conference level, it's that much more at the NCAA level. Personally, I was happy to see states take up the issue in favor of the athletes, not that anyone asked me. [/QUOTE]
