I've said it before, but I think that as a society if we REALLY wanted to advance the athletes then the NBA,.

If schools pay the players, then the school needs to pay athletes equally in all sports (including men and women). The vast majority of schools couldn't even swing scholarships + $50k to all players.

This would never work, but my ideal scenario would be:

- That the NFL, NBA would require a legit 4 year degree to compete. This would ensure that athletes stayed in school and focused on their degrees (yes, most would be in basketweaving). If we are truly trying to help disadvantaged/minority athletes then IMHO the best way is through a degree. Long term, I believe that a legit degree from a decent school is more valuable to the athlete than a single few hundred K payday.
- Go back to the transfer, you sit out 1 year rule.

Again, I don't see any of these happening, but it would be great to get the "old" college sports back again.
