If this passes, college football will change forever. It will make it very difficult for the schools in smaller markets and those that play by the rules to compete. Goodbye WSU, Oregon State, and Goodbye BYU. No way the Church stays associated with the cease pool that would follow.
All the comments are about ‘What’s the harm’ assuming no one breaks the rules. You can drive multiple freight trains of illicit money through this legislative hole and the NCAA would be powerless to do anything. Consequently USC and Texas each will have all 85 scholarship slots filled by 5 ⭐️ recruits, each with their own ‘licensing deal’ and they play each other for the National Championship every year.
Oregon State drops down to Division 1-AA, Wash State drops down to Div 3, Arizona drops football altogether and applies for a NBA franchise for BBall. And BYU exits NCAA sports altogether as the Church refuses to participate in the cease pool. The yewts collapse in successive waves of academic scandals and are relegated to non-competitive status in Div 3 while a special master oversees the athletic department.
