if / when there is a CBA basketball and especially football players will make far more then they do nowI saw a post from him that stated that teams using that suite, that the NIL market is up roughly 35% from last year. If a player was worth $1MM last year, that's worth about $1.35MM this year.If we did indeed spend $6.5MM on this roster...just to keep status quo...we'd have to spend about $8.8MM this year? This is not sustainable. Something has to give at some point.

No way University presidents actually allow that to happen right?

That's what they have fought forever. And I heard someone make a good point the other day -- there are over half a million NCAA athletes. It would be awfully difficult for that large a group to unify in such a way that collective bargaining would be easy to pull off.

that is why they don't want it to happen .. even though it would fix all the other stuff .. ( it also kills funding for the other sports and lots of the athletic dept admin bloat)

It would still be hard to get a consensus unless you narrow it even further to just power conferences. An Alabama QB and a Kent State backup TE don't have much in common.
