Now on to my own thoughts, which are different. More money may well be fair. It

will, however IMO, remove a lot of the charm of college sports. College sports will complete the transformation, that has already mostly happened, of simply being a professional minor league for big league sports. The schools with boosters willing to pay more will be very difficult to beat.

Personally, I like more opportunities for Cinderella stories.

This will fundamentally change college athletics, I'm not sure the Church will

Why would the church care if BYU football players were paid for use of their likeness? They absolutely should be.

This isn't about schools paying players.

IMO this will just remove artificial restrictions from the market and make things better.

Right, I was addressing the point. Understood that they were not your arguments.

I don't see an issue with players driving cars. Money already drives recruiting, that's why

You don't need national companies. NuSkin, Sigfried & Jensen, and about ten thousand emergency

No no no... Each player gets their own "company" and can recruit downlines!
