Another way to say that is "it would become legal". In your words, the end of Prohibition "legalized illegal drinking".

And NFL players are allowed to go to Canada. Since they are allowed to play in Canada, they don't need to play in the NFL, so the NFL doesn't have to pay them. Logic sound familiar?

OK, I don't disagree.  If we allow the players to get paid, the market for coaches would change, and JB would get paid whatever the market decides he's worth. Similar to the NBA.

You know, rrlbees, you have a talent for taking several paragraphs worth of thought, and replying with one sentence rebuttals that make you want to bang your head against the wall. I feel like in the same time you wrote your 30 words, you could've figured out yourself why you're wrong.

Whatever.

This is precisely what the O'Bannon lawsuit is about. Read this article from a few days ago to see why the Jenkins case is even scarier for the NCAA than O'Bannon. The Jenkins case will legalize pay-for-play (or as I like to call it, legal employment) and has the same lawyer that ended Plan B Free Agency for the NFL.
