A Chronicle letter to editor today by the great Gary Cavalli. He backs the SB and says that the NCAA will never ban Cali schools. Since it won’t take effect until 2023 the NCAA has time to weasel out a compromise allowing some payments.

It's a start. It doesn't go nearly far enough. The field should be entirely open. The problems will disappear almost overnight - and some kids who should stay in school and learn a little more, will be able to do so, while still cashing out in a way that can benefit their family.

Depending on how you do it, this is a somewhat underrated article for allowing for compensation of athletes.  However, the devil is always in the details, and how you structure the incentives matters.  Would a sponsor pressure athletes to go pro earlier rather than provide money that gives them the freedom to stay in college longer.
