The NCAA is in danger of chopping off their own legs

The NCAA only has two items of power anymore. The money from the NCAA basketball tournament since they own the contract and the fact that they have tax exempt status and can funnel more of that money to schools. But if the P4 all decided to take the leap and make their own “league/tournament” for basketball and football separate from the NCAA then they would have all the media negotiating power and could build the rules from the ground up to fit the modern athletics world. I think that is the end game and why private equity is getting interested.

Quite right - the NFL should be paying for player development

The colleges don't want that any more than the NFL.**

The problem isn't NFL versus college, the problem is the top of college

What? They should pay the colleges? If you don't want a program that feeds

Exactly, the pro leagues have a vested interest in keeping

Just a fancy way of saying if you can get it for free, you won't pay for it**

If they'd have had some sort of warning ahead of time and time to prepare.

And that’s where Congress and the IRS get interested **

NCAA is not chopping off their legs, the courts have already chopped them.

The Antitrust lawsuit chopped off it's head. The NCAA is no longer
