Let’s start with the fact that college sports, especially football and basketball is worth billions just from tv rights, which means millions to a lot of schools. How about supporting the other sports out of that?  Let’s also say that the NCAA with a guy like Mark Emmert at the helm and the schools around him could have gotten ahead of all this and neglected to do so. So now the courts and market drives the process. That was a decision or lack thereof that the NCAA made. Let’s also go back to the billions that college sports especially football and basketball are making. And yet the athletes that allow that to happen were making nothing while some head coaches are making millions. The very schools that are complaining were behind the reactive approach that the NCAA took and are now paying for it. Does the system need some organization, sure. Will it happen, doubtful. The schools are in competition and likely won’t agree on an organized legal way forward. They’ll cry while they are taking millions in. Why - the old unethical way that they were used to and supported is no more. They are not used to having to work harder for revenue and sharing it with the student athlete.
