Ultimately, revenue sports could be split off from the school and become an athletic institute, similar to how baseball academies are run in South & Central America and soccer/football academies exist in Europe.  NIL and the transfer portal have definitely thrown a wrench in the system and all the sprockets and pulleys are exploding.  This is an opportunity to remake the revenue sport system in conjunction with the professional leagues.  As it is, college football and basketball are untenable and chaotic right now, but it's a good step to remake the system.  There's nothing that says the current framework is the only thing that's possible.

I mean, all these guys want is to get to the league.  And the whole system needs to recognize that and work with kids to realize their dream as much as possible.  College and professional sports rake in billions of dollars per year, but there are hundreds of other jobs in professional sports, marketing, and brand management.  Go to the Syracuse University Athletic Institute, commit to a three year [U]contract [/U]with the basketball program and you take a handful of classes tailored to the sports industry like sports management, marketing, coaching, physical fitness, announcing/media, accounting, statistics, etc. after your three years are up, you can go pro or transfer to another program.  NIL deals have to be reviewed and approved by the NCAA and tampering would be the equivalent to a death penalty.
