is just too much. Something has to give. I’m guessing that, at some point, donors will demand some kind of a long-term commitment from players.
It was pitched as letting guys like Jimmer and Johnny Football have a piece of the pie of their stardom, and allow other players to have some sponsorships. It’s turned into a full-fledged free agency every offseason, which will really, really hurts the quality of teams and will limit fan enthusiasm.
Sad to see that the days of good players staying at a school for 4 years are largely over.
