I think that this whole thing started because we didn't want schools going out and hiring ringers/professionals but it has morphed into something different where the players are basically professionals without any sort of compensation outside of their scholarship.

The schools can continue to give scholarships/provide the opportunity to play and the players are on their own to see what sort of money (if any) they can generate off of their image and likeness.

I'd go as far as ...

saying that olympic sports kids should be able to enter events that have money attached or appearance money, or transportation/lodging compensation.

The whole amateur thing just needs to go away. College golfer who qualifies for the US Open should be able to keep the money if he finishes in the money and not lose his NCAA eligibility.

Basketball player who hits the 1/2 court shot at a Pro game for 10K should get to keep it.

Would the players really be "on their own"? Wouldn't the

expectation be that many programs would place a high priority on setting up a system to help players maximize these type of opportunities, even for those where there is little to no market for it?

I think that's a fair expectation

just like ND has the "40 year decision."
