I that moves beyond NIL likeness ND will go in another direction and will be joined by many of the same cohort you mentioned. In the short term it will seem to be a blow in the long term the paid league will morph into semi-pro football and focus will revert to the more academic based product.

I think that's what Jack wants you to believe

from what I understand that isn't and has never been on the table.

My guess is that he and Fr Jenkins are throwing that out there so that they have cover to keep chasing the money.

The rise in power of the networks and athletic directors comes just as universities are starved for revenue by the changing paradigm where there is resistance to continuing 20 percent annual tuition and expense growth.

So University Presidents abandon all pretense and stare longingly at architectural mockups of $500M stadia and forget how to say no to ridiculous requests made by football coaches for gaudy toys and planes and salaries and staffs and lounges and x boxes.
