You've got some misconceptions.

[URL='https://sports.yahoo.com/mls-academies-may-be-blueprint-for-fasttrack-future-of-pro-sports-202813806.html']The MLS has academies[/URL], probably based on what other countries do.

The minor league system of baseball is [URL='https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2008/12/3/678134/the-history-of-baseball-s']totally unrelated to the antitrust exemption[/URL].

That's just like baseball's minor league system.

How?  Please give examples of which rules are specifically designed to cut everybody's costs, rather than preventing Bama from having 30 "volunteer assistants"/paid assistant coaches while everyone else can't afford that many.

This part is totally bass ackwards.  The onus is really on the NBA and NFL, not the NCAA.  Those leagues choose not to have effective minor league systems like baseball because they have the NCAA independently providing one to them for free.  College basketball and college football predate both professional leagues.

Each sport is basically run independently now.  For example, what D-1 lacrosse decides to do with their tournament has no effect on what D-1AA football, D-1 soccer, or D-1 field hockey does with theirs.  IIRC hockey and gymnastics have their own eligibility rules separate from every other sport's.
