College sports have been commercialized for many years with coaches making millions of dollars while playing ‘the recruiting game’.
It has been a “game” to incentivize players within the “rules” of scholastic sports. Now the ‘amateur rules’ are gone and it’s “Pay for Play” in college sports with players yearly moving to highest bidders with no allegiance to an alma mater.
The next step: no academic requirements or achievements to play!

This isn’t a salary, technically. This is compensation from schools to athletes for use of their “name, image, likeness,” but it’s not a measly NIL like a burly offensive lineman getting all the bratwurst he can eat. This is a real paycheck, directly from the college.

The NCAA and its member schools set professionalization into motion with decades of arrogance and denial about the bountiful but warped economy they built around the games we love to watch.
When college sports started chasing every dollar as a market-driven business—and frankly, there’s a case that college sports has always been a business—paying athletes became inevitable.
