AZ got to the heart of it. I don't disagree at all about the corruption you mentioned. But right now, that primarily happens outside of the academic mission of higher ed institutions. As it should.

These kinds of things will fundamentally change the organization of some higher education institutions in ways they aren't built for. The incentives will get out of whack and I don't trust the decision-makers to play in these arenas.

Bottomline, it's a jagged path to get there, but direct payment from institution to athlete will result in poorer outcomes for students.

And we can't afford that as a society, on multiple levels.

(I work in edtech and am acutely familiar with some aspects of higher education administration and decision-making. I mention this just so that people note that my opinion isn't perfect, but it's more informed than your standard sports fan on this topic, and I'm applying a broader lens to the discussion than just sports.)
