The future of college football and basketball

Not sure how that works except maybe for private institutions. They would have to figure out how to divide everything into shares or whatever to split evenly in order to sell it.

I dont see any State schools doing that.

Then you would have a new league entirely. The last thing that needs to happen is for rich folks to be the owners of college sports teams. If that were to happen, college sports would be the same to me as professional sports leagues and, as I have with professional sports teams, I would quit watching.

You mean it's not already to you?

Team payrolls of $20 Million.
Multi Billion dollar media deals.
The courts on the verge of calling the players athlete employees of the schools.

Besides, the current owners of the teams, the schools with $200 Million revenue from athletics, aren't poor.

It's pro sports.

In some regards, yes, but when teams have owners, they are more likely to interfere with the teams than how it is now. Imagine if you will, it goes that way, and the owner decides he wants a new stadium and the school doesn't, will the owner move the team to a different state? There are way more negatives to this than positives.

Agree, entirely. I'm just against the schools owning franchises too. It's an enormous mess that's likely to cause lesser funded schools to have to abandon athletics or the court to separate schools like UT as pro and ETSU (just an example school) as collegiate.

I see no way for this to end well.

Sure. Why not? The sport has made it clear that everything is for sale, and that everything has a price. So why suddenly care about propriety now?

Take his money. Take Saudi blood money. Take whoever's money. That's all it's about now, right? Money money money. Might as well quit dissembling and get on with it.

All those people who wanted college football to roll around in gambling, and "make them professionals," and pay for play ... I say, get in there and roll around in that mud. It's what you always wanted. Don't turn away from it now. This is what you wanted it to be.

Wouldn’t surprise me at this point but honestly, I would lose all interest in it, I already think NIL is ruining the sport. There is no team loyalty and guys just jump around to whoever they think is gonna give them the best playing time and the most money Signing up for a school for four years is a thing of the past now.

Interesting perspective having Tax advantages of owning 51% of a college team vs NIL donations.

As mentioned earlier, Don’t see how that would be legal for public university to sell majority stake in their public school sport
