Enforceable contracts with salary caps. But we can’t have that unless it’s collectively bargained. Which means the athletes need a union and a unified, empowered NCAA body to bargain with. But good luck with that. And good luck doing it with Title IX.

College sports is probably permanently broken.

The only way this could happen is if the NCAA "owned" the sports, teams, players

You’re absolutely missing the point.

Caitlin Clark is a great example - but not for the reason first-n-10 gave.

I wouldn't say Clark is a great example of that, but that yes, the State Farm

This has nothing to do with NIL. Her Nike deal came after her college career and pretty standard for pro players

Not with college so called NIL. But actual NIL. College players are payed for skills, not name, not image, not likeness.

Yep. Almost all WNBA players have $3.5 mil shoe contracts.
