Message: [QUOTE="RandygoCuse, post: 4660416, member: 1231"] I'm not wild about the "Just go somewhere else" argument. College basketball has become a cartel in that they have such a huge market share of top coaches, facilities, and TV contracts that they wouldn't get in most other industries. It makes it extremely hard for other leagues to compete in this environment. It doesn't help that the NBA isn't letting kids jump from high school which limits their opportunities even more. I get that it may be difficult for some schools to compete, but I'm not sure that's a good reason to deny athletes earning potential. And as others have argued, it may not be divided strictly along big market vs. small market lines. I do think that D1 should split into two divisions with the higher division allowing NIL and the lower one focusing on amateurism and the student athlete experience. [/QUOTE]
