So does the G League fold once players see they can earn some good coin with greater exposure playing NCAA P5 ball?    They don't really attend class anyway, let's be real.

I really wish this was just limited to men's basketball because that is where 90% of the problem lies.  Likeness I assume means the player gets a % of the school merchandise profits that use their jersey.   At first I thought this MUST be capped to a certain amount or else only the schools with the biggest fanbases and highest merchandise sales will get all the players.  But that's pretty much how the system is now anyway.  And then I thought about a place like Duke that has 10 McD AAs on the roster.   If a player wants to be in the spotlight so they can reap % merchandise sales, going to a school where there's immediate playing time suddenly has more appeal.   Jordan Tucker will never have a jersey for sale in a Duke bookstore.   Now if he were at SU...

I think this helps SU in hoops and hurts us in football.
