Opinion | College Sports Are a Treasure. Don’t Turn Them Into the Minor Leagues.
The best way to support student-athletes is to ensure that they are students first.

ND Prez and AD wrote and Op Ed for the NY Times today saying college athletics is at a crisis point, and if there is not some legislation and NIL is not reigned in with better rules, then college athletics as we know it will be over in the next few years.
Called upon the NFL and NBA to build minor league systems or allow players in after high school for players that don't want to earn an education and can go professional.
Also on a podcast this morning said it looks like the BIG 10 and SEC will be the perceptive top leagues in college athletics and it will be everyone else (which I find funny because they cna have ND join the ACC and help level the playing field).
I agree with some of what they wrote, but also just laugh at other parts as they, along with almost all university and conference leaders have lead the sport down this path, and outside of a few, they are scared of it now.
