Ultimately I think this bill passing is a good thing.  It is going to force the NCAA and its member institutions to finally reckon with incongruous situation that exists with schools generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue due to "amateur athletics".

Of course, as constructed, this law will yield a ton of consequences, some good, some bad.  But disruption seems long overdue.

I love big-time college sports.  It also makes zero sense to have academic institutions act as quasi-professional sports franchises.  It's largely a freak occurrence of history and legacy that no other country on Earth replicates.  Hopefully over the next four years the NCAA, universities, the states poised to enact similar legislation (South Carolina is on the clock), and other parties hammer out a somewhat logical path forward.

*edit* One editorial note... Fear that a new system may be abused is no excuse for not doing anything.  ALL systems are abused, like the one that currently exists.  That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to isolate those instances and make the overall environment better.
