In reply to: Just to clarify, I'm not advocating forced pay posted by gregmorrissey

If Alabama wants to offer ND's best player $1M to play TE for 1 season, he should be able to consider that option, go back to ND with that information, receive a counteroffer and then make a decision.

And same with all players, regardless of star power or benchwarmer status.

Recruits too.

I am fine with this less-restrictive model as well, although I see it being a lot messier than the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL collectively-bargained rev share structure.

Change is messy. It would eventually find order

Contracts would eventually start to look like coach's contracts with termination language and fees, guarantees, moral character language, etc.

Colleges and athletic departments would be free to make decisions they think are in their best interests as would athletes. Budgets and pay ranges by position will develop. Some schools and boosters will care more than others and invest what many would consider to be insane amounts. Some will pay lip service to competing, pay below market, and extract huge profits. Same as it's ever been.

I'm good w/ that-as long as CFB players can extract every $

they deserve/demand from the system, it would be a much better system than the current one.
