The "most prominent athletes" in these schools will end up earning more than the school presidents and the head football and basketball coaches COMBINED.

One sports radio host here in my local area said the NCAA had no choice in implementing this policy, but that it would also bring about the end of college sports as we know it.

And it will also open the doors to allow rich mega-booster alumni to influence a recruit's decision on which school to attend.

They’re not going to make that much. The field is too crowded. The NCAA didn’t have a choice, with the CA law and other states introducing matching laws the NCAA needed to either adapt or watch a replacement grow out of those states. It’s good to end college sports as we know them. The NCAA has gotten silly, too many rules that don’t get enforced until years later, vacated wins, “give us back our trophy”. Well past time for the system to get rebuilt.

No. There aren’t more than 2 or 3 football players who are marketable in the million dollar range. Assistant coaches make that much already.
