I agree it's pointless to speculate on what the future holds, but that's one of the reasons for the existence of message boards.

The only way I foresee a system of paid college sports workers existing is if all the stake holders agree there will be one set compensation package across the board for all athletes.  I suspect that won't hold up to legal challenges.

In the opposite direction if no restrictions are put on the upper limit of compensation for college athletes that will signal the beginning of the end for college sports.
