[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 649906, member: 4334"] It’s going to be interesting to watch, but one thing I’ve learned in my 50 years on this earth is that there are always unintended consequences that no one can predict. I don’t think this will work out like the factories and masses think it will for some reason. One thing bouncing in my mind is the jersey selling thought with large fan bases and the worry that that is where top recruits will go to make money. Take UGA. I’m sure their highest selling jersey would be Fromm and Swift. If money is from sales, would Zeus have signed knowing he’d have to wait till Swift left to be the top seller? Or would he have signed somewhere where he’d be the top guy as a freshman? Plus, take in human jealousy. Will teams like Bama and UGA be able to keep a depth chart like they have now if RB1 makes X amount more than RB2 who is also a 5 star. And if it just turns into the Wild West of alumni throwing money you’ll see random schools becoming major players just thru alumni cash. Stanford could easily buy any player they wanted. Tim Cook is an Auburn grad. How many players could he buy? Schools like UGA and Bama have huge fan bases but what about schools with much deeper pockets? [/QUOTE]
