I don't think it is a negative thing for student-athletes to be given cars but

I also enjoy thinking there is somewhat of a competitive balance in college athletics. If every football player who attends the University of Texas gets a BMW then I can assure you those football players with offers to schools without the guarantee of a car have ZERO chance.

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.

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