From another school that had a century of advantage over other schools and now have to compete. Having their own network wasn't an issue but NIL will ruin college football

Whatever works and it's working so far
Universities need to decide what they want to be.
College football (minor league football) demand exists because it is tied to the Universities.
Universities benefit from it too. Applicants, attention, all kinds of shit.
They wanna make a minor league because they don't view it as part of the University business it is then fine, shut it all down. Or make a partnership branding agreement where minor league football employees get education while working as an employee of the minor league.
those two things could be correlated but still...
They could have easily said, 'fine - go make money'.
However, the fee for participating on an NCAA team is x% of verifiable income (tax returns) of which the money goes into a pool for distribution to ALL student athletes for the purpose of living expenses/stipend.
Instead they acted like pussies and went totally hands off.
War socialism.
