    The schools with rabid fanbases and rich boosters will rise to the top.

    So, not much will change.

    This is a very market-oriented reform that empowers the individual while the collectivist organization protests. So it's ironic that it originates from California, and that certain Tigerfan members oppose it.

    IDK there is a lot unknown here. So the name players will get paid but what about the 3rd string tackle? What about non revenue and women’s sports? Under this most get squat. I can see a movement to bring “equity” to athlete’s income using Title 9 or some other avenue.
    How is this going to be regulated, or is it? Even Texas and Texas A&M don’t have unlimited funds. How old is Phil Knight? He won’t be around forever and will his heirs be so generous? I know the law and discussion is about being paid for likeness etc but don’t think it will stop there. I do see the death of college sports as we know it.

    I know this is a little bit off subject but does this open the door for EA Sports to bring back NCAA Football?

    Just to make it worse, it was the governor of California who came up with the idea.

    Free market, no more bitching, but the transfer market will explode.

    Not when parents start paying for star rankings.
