I suspect the end game is some amount turn into professional teams


that are licensed to use trademarks and logos and play in college stadiums. Imagine buying the VT football and mens and maybe womens basketball and perhaps baseball teams out for $200mm including training facilities and stadiums and they are run much like professional lower level franchises. You get tickets, TV, merchandising etc. Rules are set on rosters, recruiting/signing players, the players get paid, perhaps they go to school as well similar to the academy system in europe. It needs a total rethink because the system is operating in a world of amateurism while taking in billions of revenue.

Those that dont turn revert to a Richmond, W&M etc. model
