I think all of college athletics will decide that the present situation is not viable. I would not use the word "corrupt". The present situation is the product of law. BYU and others are pushing the boundaries to see what, if anything, is now inadmissible. Once this process is complete, or even before, the colleges need to seek legislative relief. If they don't, college athletics is all over IMHO.

+1. I've always thought the advent of lawful NIL rights would be the end of amateur college athletics.  Didn't quite expect how much that would turbo charge things, but certainly my interest is waning by the day the more the blatant money grabs (UT and the Sooners to the SEC, BYU's effectively limitless scholarship limit, etc.) make clear this is just a moneyed arms race built on a foundation lacking any principles whatsoever. As much as everyone spat on the NCAA, it was a good run while we had it.
