The schools have been getting fat on the backs of the few. they could have introduced a share the wealth program years ago. Right now the chaos in the portal and the $$$ in NIL are out of control. I believe they will eventually have to pay the athletes in the two programs that fund every other athletic program. When the five major conferences are receiving in the range of $105 Million per football team in television money, they will have to slice the pie with the players. With fair compensation comes rules for participation.
