Umm I don’t think it’s that bad.
Yes things will change drastically but for the good. Now the Student-Athletes will have some power and say about things. For far to long the ncaa have essentially used student-athletes as their slave labor to make billions.
For now this law in California allows student-athletes to get paid to use their likeness, colleges still can’t pay the athletes directly. So when Nike & EA wants to swoop in and pay multiple low income football players for them to wear Nike and be in the next NCAA College Football 2024 then it’ll only help those families and those students make ends meet instead of some rich University Chancellor getting on a brand new Mercedes every year.

Nike bankrolls one university in particular.
Schools dont pay players now, boosters do. Boosters who own car dealerships and men's clothing stores and the like. Here's a Lexus for going to our school, donated by a booster with a dealership. Its gonna be bad.

Anything that weakens NCAA stranglehold on athletics (not unlike MLS owners’ stranglehold on every level of domestic pro soccer) is a positive IMO.

Unfortunately the only way they will amicably solve the problem is through FORCED parity (a draft). Otherwise you will see colleges band together and leave the system and form what they consider more "fair" leagues and college sports will fracture just like youth soccer in the US.

Hasn't this kind of already happened? I mean, look at college football - if you're not in the power 5, you're not getting into the playoffs unless a miracle happens. Then again, even among the power 5 the SEC generally just sits on everyone else until they give up. |

The best part is that all you need to have a successful program is a new billionaire booster come along and boom, you're at the top of the pyramid.

Yeah that did buy them all those National Championships. 👍🏻 Or were you thinking Oregon? That trophy room is getting pretty packed. |

They're rich but they can only contribute to the university or do some secret backroom deals trying to discretely move money to players.
Now imagine they can pay the players DIRECTLY. A public bidding war.

All the money in the world doesn't make Stillwater, OK a nicer place to go to school. It's amazing that they are as competitive as they are considering the location. |

Alabama has nice SUVs.
