Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

[ORD_Buckeye]

Ord points out the underlying problem that I mentioned in summary. The issue cannot be revenue sharing but rather profit-sharing. It would seem that many universities will be dropping out of such arrangements by discontinuing sports.

Make no mistake. The landscape is going to be altered in ways not intended and irreversibly.

And even if it's profit sharing, then profitable ADs can manipulate the number by adding sports to drive up expenses as close to revenue as possible. Really the only reasonable way to implement this is by a profit sharing by sport model. In that case, Ohio State football players are rolling in Aston Martins. Ohio State men's basketball players get a nice check, and (maybe) Ohio State men's hockey and women's basketball players get some walking around cash.

And there's not a damn thing wrong with that.

They're already rolling around in vehicles that cost well over 200k. I see it daily.
