There's no way it will happen. conferences already compete amongst themselves. The problem is, when reports pull the amount of money all the combined schools make in the NCAA and then put out some astronomical number, it doesn't take into account how many of these schools are reporting loses in their athletics budgets. There are a ton of issues looming with with this.
Whether its a major football program, or basketball. They both carry the funding for the rest of the sports at a school. Every other sport is a money pit, that usually get's subsidized by football. That's one issue.
If this only applies for male sports, you better believe the next Skylar Diggins or Gomez sisters are going to waive Title IX to get a piece of the pie. There's no way, imo, women will not be asking for the same thing. It could lead to gender discriminatory suits.
On paper, it's great if players get paid, but it will open up a ton of other issues.They can;t only focus on football and basketball, while disregarding everyone else. Ive always though they should get something extra than just scholarships, but being a paid athlete opens up the door for so many more possible issues.
