Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5384706, member: 10113"] agreed. We used to have a salary cap, it was called 13 scholarships for everyone, and a free education. And the better your college was, the better your coach was, the more your fans cared about your team, and the better your tradition was, was how you built teams. And now, (this is a reality, not hyperbole) most power five college players have a greater “Name image and likeness value“ than most pro players. Who here in NY has ever seen Brunson or Bridges or Towns do a commercial or be the spokesman for something? Not to mention the bench warmers. Wherever Chris Bell goes, his name image and likeness will be “worth more” than almost every one of the New York Knicks. That is how broken this is. And people will keep buying the lie that these players are “making so much money for the universities”. Most teams are now deciding if they will go further and further into the red to “finance” their programs or not. [/QUOTE]
