NCAA needs a treaty with the big money schools now.
The big money schools will pay the players. Nobody else will be able to keep up. As a result, FBS football will loose half it's teams, or more, eventually. It will dwindle to not enough teams in the FBS division to keep fan interest in FBS NCAA football overall, not enough games to cover or sell advertising, and then the TV money will become a bubble that will burst. There won't be enough income to maintain all those big stadiums at some point even at the big money schools because their revenue streams will dry up after there is no more football, at least not enough to maintain the revenue streams.
The entire business model just got undermined. And honestly, deservedly so because the big money schools long ago abandoned having football players be real student athletes anyway. The whole thing has been farce for a long time.
They're gonna need a self imposed salary cap, or some kind of revenue sharing deal to help the non-money schools pay these guys now. And if you impose a salary cap, how long before they're back in front of the supreme court arguing about this same thing?
