Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 3117622, member: 2265"] The NCAA was founded to protect players, most notably football. It long ago ceased to do that and morphed into a revenue engine for it's college members. Players should have the right to their likenesses, endorsements, appearances etc just like other scholarship holders. California could care less about the NCAA. Without the largest state NCAA championships will ultimately crumble. Other states could join CA and where would that leave the NCAA? College presidents have overplayed their hand and are now on the wrong side of history. It remains to be seen whether boosterism beats massive population advantage. What do the Networks have to say about their NCAA contracts? This story isn't going away anytime soon. Just my thoughts - I could be wrong! [/QUOTE]
