When NIL started allowing players to be compensated I surmised it was only a matter of time until all the top talent was consolidated into a few monied schools who would then become the de facto minor league.

This is a good thing in my opinion as college sports long ago ceased to have anything to do with college. Let a few schools morph into minor leagues and the rest can get back to having true student athletes playing in glorified inter-murals. Perhaps then I won’t have to ask why my State subsidized colleges need to have sports programs at all.

A sign of the impending death of the XII.
PAC tried something very similar in 2018, then it collapsed.

So, college\university football (at lest the BIg12 is!) is finally admitting they are a minor league pro football organization. Education organization they’ll do some of that!

Follow the U. of Chicago lead. End all university sports. Go to intramural sports and end this professional charade.

There should be federal legislation to prevent any private equity direct ownership in public institutions.

I guess the legislature is too busy voting on foreign aid bills....
