Hey, if that's the landscape now, more power to him.

I do wonder what’s going to happen to APR. they’re also going to have to do something about eligibility and transfers at some point because a kid can’t graduate unless he has at least 60 credit hours at his last school, so he’s either going to have to finish his degree sans scholarship or take a redshirt at some point.

I assume at some point "scholarship" will go away because it stands in the way of total freedom.

So then....academics have no role. Grades, graduation? Not enforced as NCAA will have no legs really ... the players will move to an employee role.

The last vestiges of NCAA and student athlete will fall to Olympic sports. The question is what schools keep them.

The Will Wades of the world were not wrong they were just ahead of their time ....

I’ve got to imagine this would cause a massive shrinkage in the number of schools playing basketball and football (at least at the highest level. Perhaps lower divisions will persist?).

Very few of them would make enough revenue for it to make sense, especially when you take away the ability for student fees and donations to subsidize the teams.

Then NCAA goes away. Sooner it goes away the better. Also again the sooner the sec and big10 leave to start their own thing the better for everyone. Then everyone else goes back to somewhat normal 'College' sports. Nil is not the issue, schools have been paying players since the beginning of sport.

The issue is the transfers....

I don’t see how removing the top 40-50 teams changes anything re: transfers. You’ve still got over 300 D1 teams with a wide range of revenue disparity.

And why can't we get something like this given the companies in NOVA?

Yes I realize they have more historical success BUT we need to think bigger than Eaglebank.

Didn't we just hire someone to do fundraising? Forgot her name.
