[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1035421, member: 17953"] I think the biggest mistake the NCAA made was not understanding before it started, that they could lose in court. I think their arrogance in thinking they were untouchable created this problem. Had they used their heads, and created some sort of equity for the players, before it hit the courts, they could have had something fairly well cut in stone, in place, to maintain control. The reason the NCAA has failed like this is arrogance. The belief that they were above reproach, and nobody could, nor had the right, to challenge them destroyed them. The courts had no choice but to rule against them, and turn it into the wild west. Had they gone into the courts with a plan for realigning the revenue stream where athletes could make some money from playing, the courts might well have ruled in their favor, saying that the scholarship itself was a huge part of the payment they were getting to play the sport, for that school. It's kind of like that old adage, "You can't put the Genie back in the bottle, after it's gotten out." Now college football is nearing that crossroads where certain things are going to be inevitable. It's not going to be pretty. Let's just hope that pro sports doesn't totally take over the programs in schools, because the next reach will be past colleges, and into high schools. And that is nearing as well, as some states, like Florida, are looking to allow kids to have NIL deals while in high school. I can only imagine how that's going to fly. Little Johnny is 6-5, and good enough to play varsity basketball in HS by the age of 10, so for the next 7 years he plays with a high school team that has sponsors who pay what is now Big Johnny at 7-2, a million a year to play at their school, even though it's 85 miles away from where he lives. No problem, Johnny's new digs is large acreage, and there's a helipad about 50 yards away from the back door. He gets air lifted to school every day when it's time to practice, because he's been home tutored and doesn't have to attend in person. Just when he feels like it. [/QUOTE]
