Now the last step of this sequence is for College Athletics to oust the NCAA all together. Start with Football and Basketball and let the NCAA handle the rest.

We're inevitably headed in that direction.  Everybody will think that it's wonderful until college athletics is absolute anarchy and only a few schools survive in a limited number of sports.  My daughters will never have a chance to earn a scholarship because all the private funding will be funneled to individual men's basketball/football players.  Oh well...

Oh well. Most sports aren't designed to pay the bills professionally anyway.

College isn't for everyone. Never has been. Especially these days and the many years beyond. Trade Schools are where most people belong.

Not all sports pay the bills. Again. The funding you want is just as obtainable for being smart, but trying to cheese the system by playing a "sport" while being smart is not a new concept. Everyone knows the old hack of being a 4.0 student and applying to Big Schools who have top tier athletes who can't read.

Have back up plans because there will be no free lunch.

I did say the NCAA can still have the other "sports" aka placeholders, but let them expose themselves by not wanting to deal with Soccer, Baseball, Swimming, Softball etc because it doesn't bring in the revenue for them to steal.

Tough times ahead.

It's a general statement. I have zero doubts that my daughters couldn't earn an academic scholarship at a state school, especially while fluent in Chinese and growing up in a top school district.

The fact is that I won't have the opportunity to enjoy college sports in the future. Aside from college football at major schools, this will inevitably be the end of softball, volleyball and other events that I've enjoyed as a spectator since attending Arizona 25 years ago.
