I hear ya, Cutz.
To me, it's like making college sports a profession rather than an elective part of an educational curriculum.
Based on the little reading I've done on the subject, these new NCAA rules are pretty controversial. The student/players are for them, of course. And, the large majority of the Power 5 are now for them -- they can afford the major associated costs and compensating the college players will allow them to avoid lawsuits and to avoid potentially losing star athletes.
But, I don't think professors and the less wealthy universities are jumping for joy over the new rules.
