I actually agree quite a bit with you-- I think you're overestimating our disagreement. As I said, the current situation is the worst of both worlds, especially as a fan of college sports.

I think maybe where we disagree is in two ways.

First, I think that the current situation is almost certainly better for the athletes than previously-- they are getting access to far more money than they would if they were just getting a portion of shirt sale money.

Second, I think we had to go through this in order to get to a regulated "professionalized" college sports. Mainly because the NCAA, being the corrupt backward organization it is wasn't going to let schools setup an actual logical framework-- instead schools had to simply violate the "rules" and then have their legislatures protect them-- this of course, happened ad hoc across the country, leading to the wild west we have now. Now that the cat is pretty much entirely out of the bag and the NCAA defanged, we can hopefully come to a better system.
