[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 949502, member: 3849"] To be clear, I was talking specifically about salary and am not advocating for an unlimited NIL structure couple with a complete lack of rules in college sports. College sports and professional sports are very different. Some of the differences you listed (minimum pay, salary caps) as well as others (draft rules, trade rules, tampering rules, contract rules, etc.). There is good reason for professional leagues to create some rules to maintain competitive balance. Otherwise you get richest teams (the Yankees in the 40s and 50s or the Celtics of the 60s) winning the championships every year. This is where college sports is headed. I know to some extent we were already there, but this will accelerate the gap in competition between the haves and the have nots. So, I think the NCAA needs to establish some competitive balance rules (transfer rules, tampering rules, contract rules, etc.) and enforce them like the professional leagues. Then, you can open the door to unlimited NIL structure. Also, players are trying their best in high school and in college in the hopes of maximizing their future earnings. Did the amateur model work for Lebron in High School? If Lebron did not excel in High School because he did not get paid, just like everyone else, then he never would he have been drafted 1st overall. But if there was no big pay day at the end of the road for LeBron or others, then what is the incentive to try your best in High School, College or beyond? There is none. [/QUOTE]
