The sooner this happens the better. I want carnage, gently caress the NCAA.

I'm a fan of a college football team. But college football is really pretty bad, low quality play, exploitative, and overly commercialized. The NFL needs to bear the cost of developing players instead of benefiting from the current system. Works for baseball. And college baseball still exists.

It is inevitable that the NCAA gets shithoused by the courts in the upcoming years and they might as well try and hold onto every last bit of their power until it all goes bust. This won't be fixed with marginal changes here and there. The best is they really brought it all upon themselves with the absurd TV deals and conference realignment poo poo. Vulgar.

Doesn't the amount of student athletes getting sham degrees undervalue the typical students own typically overpriced degree? Students at my alma mater voted down transitioning to D1 due to this, which bothered me at the time but now seems good.

Either way, healthcare for all students somehow or another would obviously be the best case scenario. Don't most universities require health insurance or have some kind of set up to ensure students have it while they are at the university? They do

When the NCAA is finally smashed or whatever happens, I wonder if the age-limit on players will have to go to. There is no reason not to have 25 year olds on the team if it isn't attached to a university. I kinda like that to be honest, Eric Crouch could still be playing.
