NCAA looks like they may have overplayed their hand. While I've been done with the NCAA for a while, this may truly be the beginning of the end.

Serious question: what value does the NCAA really provide to college football?

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Dragging the hulking corpse of the old model along, for long enough to save the schools many millions of dollars and the uncertainty of operating in a new environment. Eventually they will have no choice but to admit that the players are providing a valuable service in a competitive marketplace with many very specific demands on their time, and that the schools' brands are not the only part of the system that has value.
