the reality is that 2-3 sports make money for some schools and that funds the other 75% of the kids that play sports.

schools dont have to belong to the ncaa and kids dont have to go play at schools. if there was a business model that would work someone would have created it, most all that have tried have failed because they couldnt get the buy in.

there are a ton of kids playing minor league hockey/baseball that didnt go to college, got paid almost nothing more than a living wage and end up with nothing when they dont get to the big time.

pro sports have the same struggle that the ncaa is trying to stop from happening..  big market teams could and would pay more money, so they have caps and profit sharing to make it fairer and somewhat level the playing field. the ncaa chooses to have scholie limits and not allow kids to get paid.   once you go down that route 75% of the teams would fold and most of these kids wouldnt being seeing any money nor get a chance for a free college ride.

SU is struggling to come up with money to fix the stadium but people think they have millions to throw at paying kids, and we are in the upper 10% of schools actually making money.  if we went to a 32 team ncaa what do the rest of the schools and kids do?
