And you very well may be, that's the weird thing. Nobody really knows yet.

I just don't think any of us know how this is going to play out. What scares me is why can't some school, (even a lesser school) show one of our players how much more they could make were they to transfer. It won't hurt their NFL stock, and it means they can ship a boatload home while making some dime for themselves. We don't like to admit it, but there are plenty Group of Five boosters who've got deep pockets.

For the record, I was a bench DII baseball player 13 years ago. I get the grind college athletes go through. I assume our football players face roughly 1300% what I did. I want them to be able to profit from things like video games, cameo, NCAA deals with EA Sports, ESPN etc... But I worry opening this up to outside influences is going to be a bad thing.

Again.... I have no idea... but even if this is eventually a good thing (which it very well may be) it's going to take a decade and a half or two to get the kinks worked out.
