I agree the current system of NIL is broken. But if schools want to rake in billions in tv/gate revenue on the backs of student-athletes, they need to get a cut of the revenue.

I am fairly agnostic in terms of the mechanics. A moderate stipend plus a trust fund that can be accessed after graduation seems like a good way to keep in the spirit of college athletics, but I don't think its moral for the schools to keep all the cash.
