It's deeper than just 'greed' that people throw around. Sure, the top percentage of coaches in football and basketball are paid handsomely. But even though football is my main watch, I enjoy college athletics as a whole. I like the idea of having 18 sports representing the school.

If they move towards the employee model, many sports will undoubtedly be cut. I also don't see the toothpaste going back in the tube. If you pay the players directly (not NIL), they're still going to have the opportunity to transfer whenever. The NFL has multi-year contracts and a draft, college kids aren't signing up for that. What's happening now is they're getting the best of both worlds (compensation for play with free agency whenever they like), and it sounds like that's what people are pushing for even more of on the athlete side. The pro model isn't feasible collegiately.

There are ways to adapt, but it's more complicated than people give it credit for in my opinion.
