The NCAA wants to protect the status quo.
In the current status quo there are already winners and losers.
Of course if you like the status quo you don’t change.
Before professional athletes had free agency the teams controlled their players for as long as the teams wanted the player.

The NCAA rules are in place to keep the money where they want it. If you support the NCAA in this bill it’s because you don’t give a damn about the athletes you care about your team.

I don’t root for the owners in professional sports labor negotiations.
Owners are around forever. Players come and go. The players drive the sport. All this bill does is allow the free market to let collegiate athletes get whatever revenue is out there is.
What is to currently stop a rich booster from giving a player a ton of money AFTER they play at a school.
Vince Young is making a lot of money in the Austin, Tx area because of what he did there.

Who gives a chit if a rich alum/fan of a college team gives a player cash for their likeness to go that school. Oh no USC is getting a kid who would have gone to Ohio State or Notre Dame.

It’s not going to change the sport that much. Every college football player will get some money if they sell their likeness for a video game that EA sports will make because fans want it.
