The bigger issue as a fan for me is the transfer rule.

I think the NFL could go with the degree, but no way for the NBA. They want the top talent right away. Also the NBA is international. How can you require US kids to have a degree but Euro kids do not?

We have communications schools, law schools, business schools. So why can't we have athletic schools? If not for Title IX, we could go that route, pay the players, and call it a day.

A Sporing Club would be along the lines of an athletic school, but not be academic. Which would be a work around for Title IX. For University sports you don't pay players and it is easy to have equality in the number of athletes.

The other nice thing about a Sporting Club is the NBA can draft a kid and let them stay to develop at the Sporting Club. Or even loan a kid who played one year in the NBA but needs more work. How much better would College BBall be if all these 2nd round drafts picks stayed another 2 years?
