I'm not saying the NCAA is blameless, because they aren't. But they can't do anything, because of the courts.

The courts decided players will be paid.

But it's getting ridiculous now. Every time the NCAA tries to set a rule about eligibility, a local court stands in their way. So they have no power to have any kind of rules and regulations.

Their only option now may be to just allow this to get more and more ridiculous, until Congress intervenes. I am loathe to get Congress involved, but there may be no choice. Allowing courts in 50 states to make up rules as they go along means only Congress can stop it. Does anyone else have another solution.

Nine years of eligibility? It won't stop there.

Follow Division II and III instead - no professionals there.

It will. NFL players will play college football. . What’s stopping them from enrolling and NIL money?
