Ultimately most of the football programs need to remove themselves from this insanity. As it becomes a smaller and smaller number of schools buying championships, it will turn off more and more casual fans, who might as well just watch the NFL instead of a comparably watered down professional league. The money they are receiving is due to foolish boosters who have more money than common sense and have a greed to be the best by buying the best players they can find. Why not just open this up to NFL players since the NCAA has allowed this to turn into a free for all, thus there is no reason for these professional athletes (not students) to even go to class. If I want to watch watered down professional athletes, I can watch the Canadian Football league!
It's getting to the point where it won't be long before an NFL team "buys" a college football program and turn it into a farm club to develop coaches and players. lol.
If they do, then they would need to lower their pay to be more in line with the pay for a farm team instead of the millions some of them make.
Let me just burn my graduate degrees and get back into football shape. That's ridiculous.
If the athletes can do this, I am just waiting until top level students start bidding their attendance out to the highest paying school. Sorry but I can't be seen on your campus or in a classroom unless i good a new car and $10,000 a month. 🤣 No wonder so many parents and students are looking towards online school and going away from the insanity of paying for the bloated egos of universities. The fact that athletes get a free education, free room and board, and cash, while the students in many schools are forced to pay athletic department fees is one of many reasons why the universities are losing the current generation of students. Brick and mortar colleges continue to lose students into the millions over the last decade, while online schools that do not charge all the extra fees are thriving.
So...universities can pay for preferential athletes but parents can't pay for preferential universities
I believe it will get to the point
There is almost unlimited money for gifted athletes and this will go up and up for the have's. (supply and demand - there is more money that gifted athletes) It needs to be like professional sports and controlled by leagues. The leagues would control name and image caps for the athletes. As prime athletes get more and more desperate programs will demand to go this way, They'll form a league(s) separate from the NCAA and control their sport like every other.
The NCAA has zero control on this. It's all based on athletes having control of their name and image.

I was just going to say the exact same thing, at some point they will probably have to.
How much $$ do these students make for their university? I agree they should be paid appropriately. I doubt there are many students on the Oregon campus that brought in any money and know for a fact nothing close to what the football players did. If there is a o-chem major bringing in cash by all means write them a check
I would need to get in shape just to become the Hydration Manager.
Lipstick on a pig and all that.
But Bobby Boucher was a bad ass. Wish the Rebels had a few of them
With the way the courts are, they will decide against that in favor of the athletes.
This is what actually happens. They’re called graduate assistants. Students whose research and work product produce revenue generating results also earn royalties and/or ownership. The precedent definitely exists to pay athletes. How much, what is reasonable? Completely debatable.
This has happened in the English Premier League. Top 6 clubs are always top 6 because they can simply out-spend everyone else. Big 6 wanted to join a 'euro super league' because they only wanted to play the best, and at first people were aghast. Now it's changed. Most fans want them gone and to be done with the uneven playing field nonsense and entitlement they bring. They just want to go back to enjoying a fair game.
