Not good. Apparently 200 law suits are being filed in the Southern District of Indiana (where the NCAA is located) alleging that leadership knew the long term effects of concussions and has been negligent in addressing player safety.

The only thing that could make things better if were Mark Emmert were named separately as defendant, and then found solely responsible for damages.

So how many schools currently make a profit? Depends on who you ask, but the number hovers in the low 20s. All the rest are dipping into the general fund to compete. It's one thing when selective schools take in athletes who could not otherwise be admitted and pay them with funds from athletic department's own money, but when you take in someone, give him a scholie and then pay him from the general fund... I'm going to guess that isn't going to sit well.

In short, college football could - and perhaps should - come down to Ohio State, Michigan, Penn state, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Florida State, Florida, Ol' Miss, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and maybe USC.

For sure, the MAC, AAC, and Mountain schools will have to fold up their football programs. Would be a brutal schedule for any of the remaining schools to work their way through.

How long until we start to see whole teams striking until they are paid? If the players did that it would take about 5 seconds for them to start paying players

You think a kid from a challenged background is going to risk that free education by "striking", when the school can simply boot him off scholarship for doing so?
