Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5026134, member: 237"] So make it professional and you have contracts as such. To me that’s middle ground. It destroys college sports as being amateur but might preserve it in the sense of many institutions major athletics still matter and aren’t replaced by say a B version of the G league. Right now how the portal is setup isn’t really providing the kind of benefits that real free agency or a pro contract would to all parties involved. Kids are leaving on promises to which who knows how many are kept and the premise of best interest and need is a gray area. I could care less the harm it does for the schools or the NCAA. This is about something that isn’t sustainable unless it’s wrangled into whatever the best final form is so the dust can settle around the athlete centric pay revenue model. [/QUOTE]
