How about instead those who don’t want to play student athlete can start up their own minor league?

Sure, that would be ideal. But that's not the reality we live in. There's more money, stability, and exposure in being attached to a college

Our modern culture celebrates sell outs, it’s true.

If they’re going to do a true “minor league” then I would prefer it were detached from NCAA/CFB.

Basically an enhanced version of IMG with no academic requirements. Let the NFL manage it and pay for it.

Let CFB implement some guardrails around NIL/transfer portal and try to recapture some of the magic from past eras while still providing financial value to the players that make the whole thing go.

Might be a pipe dream, idk.
