The minute that a player can profit from his own image the schools with the richest and most obsessed donors will consistently pay athletes the most, and the gap won't bE close. If we think SU is behind the factories now, let an Alabama booster buy 10,000 jersies of a particular player(s) to ensure they are payed the most. You only have to look at how Alabama boosters raised money to pay off Saban's mortgage to begin to see how that would play out. Making him the highest payed head coach wasn't enough. How hard was it for SU to raise the funds for the IPF, and that was somewhere around $15-20 million (I don't feel like looking up the exact number). Tennessee just finished something like a $70 million upgrade a couple years ago, and I think they have more planned.

Part of the NCAA's impossible job is leveling the playing field to a certain extent. When players start profiting from their likeness that will go out the window more than it has already.
