How House v. NCAA settlement could give Oregon an advantage in NIL deals

I have zero confidence in envisioning where this goes big picture and even year-to-year. Ideally, I think the NFL could tell people to fuck off. Countless number of jobs of require an actual college degree and I assume their union could easily add an age requirement, if they haven't already.
Maybe the NFL could put their stamp on the NCAA, enforce a salary cap, allow the schools to use their revenue to fund their teams, create a top level (Big 10/SEC), AAA (Big 12, etc), AA (mid majors and small schools), and A (FCS). Keep it as close to the current format as possible.
It could work out organically with boosters getting fatigue and realizing it's not worth it to spend big bucks on anyone other than proven returning commodities. The NCAA to do just some clean up with the rules of the portal. And, 99.99% players realizing whatever scholarship and stipend they can get is a great deal for them and to not demand pay days.

For the record, the NIL deals pay massively higher salaries than the WNBA can offer.
The NBA does have a minor league, the G League. NOC about it, though. You also have the Euro leagues, etc.
NFL will never create one. The costs to support large roster teams with kids on them for 4+ years while they develop would be extremely prohibitive. To Race's point, the NFL is a grown man's game and not even 1 in 100 18 year old kids could survive.
I hate the NIL stuff. It seems like, unless the players are turned into a union and a salary cap is collectively bargained, things will continue to get worse as far as tampering and whatnot. There are for more kids who would benefit from negotiating guaranteed salaries than those who'd lose money in such a scenario and that seems to be the one point of leverage the NCAA might have to reasonably constrain costs and prevent the Olympic sports from turning into club activities. Of course, the NCAA will do the dumbest thing possible and screw this up even worse than it already is.
Better pick your favorite Ivy League rowboat peter puffer skwah now.

That's the fucking the point. All this is ill gotten gains. If you're not good enough to play pro sports in pro sports what makes you think you deserve compensation in college? Get the fuck the outta here kidz.
@MrsSnow would be worth, at least, $100K right now. I'm suing the NCAA for back pay.
 
Long term it's going to be players choosing the highest conference that they think they can succeed in, and then whatever staff appealed to them the most, with a few players/positions getting a collective involved.
High school kids outside of a few players will get almost nothing up front.

Here we go with another Sky is Falling circle jerk. I get it. It’s not going to be as bad as everyone thinks, it’s not going to be great either. I’d argue that our local recruiting is doing as good or better recently. The only way this shit will work is having a strong local contingent on roster and getting local companies/donors/boosters to wage war on the Nike’s and Oil money schools.

Football is entertainment for me, I like watching games at Husky Stadium. I favor college football even with this BS over pro football where it truly 110% is about money. It’s completely pointless to root for a team when every single player is trying for a better contract irregardless of team association.

Meh

You never got to fly around on airplanes and bleed purple on the battlefields of intercollegiate sports based on the largess of football, pal. This is personal!!

There's major donor fatigue already (Barkley's quote) and I think doomsday extremes won't happen due to that and due to needing to be enrolled at the schools. This isn't a career and will never be.
You wanna just go be an employee at UW at 18? Go pick up a fucking mop and a broom. Same with ma and pa.
