Re: the bolded part...

That. Does. Not. Matter. The issue is not what's fair for Syracuse. The issue is what's fair for the student-athlete. Frankly, it pisses the shiz out of me that people have their priorities so backwards on this. And yeah, the view from this high horse is MAGNIFICENT.

Yes, let kids profit from their own name and images. Yes, let kids take jobs at the businesses of the boosters. If rich people want to blow their money making their athletic programs better in a way that puts cash directly into the hands of the student-athletes and their families, that's a good outcome.

The best athletic departments will need other athletic departments to compete against in order to have a product. Nobody's buying tickets to see the Kentucky Wildcats play the Washington Generals 30 times a season. Boosters aren't going to pay through the nose for guys that ride the pine after very long.

Defending the status quo we have in the name of some kind of illusional fairness is stupid.
