And how is it not already that? You even have kids saying "next 3-4 years" in their commitment announcements in high school now. For the best players, it's always been a means to an end. At least the ones who aren't going to make the NFL might have an opportunity to make a little extra cash for their efforts.I guess college football as we know and love will be history. Going to turn into a true farm club for the NFL.

And I'm still not sure what was wrong with the old system. Haven't heard a valid explanation for why the free education, room and board, plus exposure to a professional career are simply not enough, or been presented with examples of ones who've been harmed by it.
Tyrone Prothro and Marcus Lattimore immediately come to mind.So you can't think of a single elite athlete in College football that had a career ending injury during college football? Really?
Look I get all the arguments against paying college student athletes. I selfishly would like things to stay the same to enjoy college football. I suspect this will only harm college football. But there are definitely instances where elite college football players lose millions of dollars by not making an NFL roster due to suffering a substantial injury at the college level.

Oh it's going to get SERIOUSLY out of hand, and the clowns defending it now are going to look mighty stupid.The only way this doesn’t get out of hand is if the pot is somehow distributed equally.
An equal share of what?Curious to see what programs get cut and how the lower tier sports react to this. Will women’s sports require equal share that football gets?
