Show Notes Chapter Markers

We take a deep look at what it would mean to pay college basketball players and what kind of impact that would have on college athletics as a whole. 

  • Most everyone says yes its a great idea...but
    • The college athletes I talked to are on board but didn’t have a cohesive plan that has yet to infiltrate mainstream thought. It seems just a collection of ideas or half-baked ideas even
    • Who loses in all of this
  • Salary Cap
  • Trust Funds
  • Free Market
  • Form Bubble Leagues HBCU League and school returns to it’s the traditional role
    • We can see that they are already bubbles with the Big Ten delaying their football this season
  • The Olympic Model - Endorsements, selling their likeness, etc. 
  • Royalties like the music industry although that might not be the model anyone should follow
  • Offer more incentives, health insurance
  • Give more years at college 8 years
