Have to hope for a separation. The P2 needs to go on their own. Not NASCAR

as NASCAR still has Ford vs Chevy vs Toyota for a lot of us. Drivers are only relevant as to which brand they are driving. For NCAA these are college attending athletes demanding exorbitant money to play where they will get paid. No allegiances, no commitment, no team, nothing but pure greed. It's over. The only way we recover is for the P2 to separate and the remaining 90+ football and whatever number of bball schools get back to somewhat normal, organized, regional, student athlete system. NIL will always be there but more subdued in the "lower" classification. If this happens the P2 league will likely lose appeal as a NFL minor league. A one and done youth basketball league. The new lower league will be the dominant media market as it will align with the majority of college sports fans.

The high was grossly inflated. **

That's because there weren't laws in place to prevent a crash.

Correct on Stock Market, but we don’t have those laws or checks & balances

Good points. NCAA has a lot of work to do to put those checks & balances
