I think fans may start to ask why they have to spend thousands of dollars per

That will produce a difficult conversation between fans/boosters and ADs.

I think there will also be demands for more regulation.

I like your thinking!

But that would make it "pay for play". And I say... Make it so then!

I already feel it. Why should I give money to students who will still just leave when a better deal comes along.
