You think it is a distraction to the poor students that aren't making millions? Really?

Yes I do. It is a nuisance to the other REAL students

The whole point of college athletics is that they are college students. Yes, for a lot of athletes, the schooling is a formality and nuisance. But for the majority of college athletes, even football and basketball, their athletic time will end at the end of college.

I know this. But I don't care.

If you separate college sports from college, what will you have will be the majority of the athletes will go to university to get a degree after playing their 4/5 years. But instead of being a young adult still, they will be behind the eight ball in real life.

I have never liked the idea of athletes often getting degrees and with the most favorable characterization prolly being "coddled" (while sometimes the reality is that they are handed a degree)

Honestly one of the best things that could happen is that these guys have to go to school and actually work for a degree. They'd cherish it more imo

If you don't put the time frame for the athletes to compete, let's say you have no 4/5 year limit, then it is going to open it up to anyone that wants to play and a lot of these athletes won't even get a chance. They will go to university instead and start up their own sports clubs. It will come full circle.

I Def want the 4-5 year rule. I'm in favor of the 5 years to play 4. We have to draw the line and start defeating these athletes lawsuits or it will end up in the place your talking about anyway

I have no interest in athletics that are not part of the university. The university is what binds us all together. It is a nonsensical solution

Like I said, they can wear the logo
