This is why college sports is the proverbial "dead man walking."
It started with the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit. This set of demands is just the next logical step.

But I believe the college sports is dying right for our eyes. Everyone knows the college football is the cash cow of college athletics. Men's college basketball also takes care of itself with only a few, one off examples all other men and women college sports are money pits.

And as we all know, The only reason women's sports exist at the level they do in colleges because the Title IX. I know, deep down the powers that be in college football would love to separate themselves from Title IX.

We can scoff at the pac-12 players in their demands, but many of their demands I do not disagree with. Why shouldn't a college football player not be able to test the draft waters but then come back. Why can't a college athlete profit off of their own likeness? The pac-12 is just the first to do this. It won't be long before players from other conferences jump on board.

And I do think the real issue is Title IX, and that money that is siphoned away from college football and distributed to other sports. It's only a matter of time before college football says, Enough is enough.".

I can see college football and basketball still existing as clubs, and maybe loosely tired to colleges, but this is the beginning of the end.

In football the number if teams will drop to around 50. In college basketball who knows. Maybe 100?
