no, they're mad because this is a slippery slope that could transform college sports to basically a pro league. We already have pro sports, college sports is different.
The only difference is that these kids aren't on salary. It basically is a amateur pro league already. These kids take bullshite classes, have to practice around the clock, fill stadiums to 100k capacity, etc. You have people who haven't attended college in decades or at all, cheering for a team because simply it is "their team". It has nothing to do with education. If people are against players being paid a salary, fine, I can see how that could get really complicated but to be against them making money off of their own name and likeness, that is just stupid.

But we fear it's headed down that path and could destroy what makes college ball different (and far, far better) than pro ball.
You do realize that college ball is already tainted with deals that happen under the table right lol? You think seeing players on billboards and local commercials will hurt college football? The thing that makes college ball great is the recruiting aspect and the atmosphere. That won't change

There are going to be some athletes that stay in school longer because they make more money in endorsements in college than they will going pro.

In your mind is the amateur status of the players what makes College football great?
In my eyes it’s the fact that I have a connection to LSU I will Never have to any professional team.
I dont Think this will open up the isssues you see in the pros. It may even fix the issues we see now. Players making money may be less inclined to sit out a bowl game if that brings bad PR to their sponsors.

LOL. You think recruiting won't change?
I hope all of LSU's competition is sitting around right now saying this, because this is an absolute game changer for teams that master exploiting it.
