You: "You’re talking to the wrong guy here. I’ve spent my entire career outsourcing jobs for multinationals and cutting operational budgets. I’m quite aware how businesses work."

Me: So you realize that this money is a minor drop in the bucket and yet still claim it's a major driver on why the NCAA and the schools are against this? Why?

You: "Schools are worried money that went to them will go straight to athletes. Instead of going to new locker rooms and new dormitories people will donate to Joe Girard."

Me: That that will occur hasn't been demonstrated. And second, it's a drop in the bucket. $50,000 won't buy the doors on a new dormitory.

Why am I against it?

Instead of trying to control the commercialization of college athletics and booster money in it,  this is going in the opposite direction. At a point in time, the camel's back will break.

Politicians are for it. It's an easy thing to be for because it's popular, especially among those don't think it through. (Which in the US is just about everyone)

This will increase the role of the NCAA and it size. It's also going to lead to great confusion and more conflict.

It's going to be a bonanza for lawyers as everyone that feels they aren't sharing equally goes after the huge pot of money. It'll be feeding frenzy.
