I don't think the NCAA was ever designed to handle the sums of money on the table. I don't see a way out of the talent imbalance at this point unless you have a draft and I don't see how you could do that without making everything fully professional.
I was really surprised the settlement didn't include some kind of cap on NIL money per student. I'm glad they are getting paid vs having to report the $5/hr part-time job to the NCAA like we did. As if we were getting preferential treatment or something
But I think a cap of say $100k/yr plus tuition, room, and board would have still been great for the athletes, but kept it affordable for most all schools vying for that player.

The courts have basically told the NCAA they don’t have the authority to restrict the earnings of athletes. If they tried to create that rule they would just end up with another settlement. There would have to be some sort of law passed to change anything at this point.

While it is tough to see star players switching teams from a fan perspective I get it completely. As a dad of girls I love to see the girls capitalizing on their success. NIL allows these girls to make money during the prime of their career. There really isn’t a strong pro option at this point for most of these players. If they can leave college with a degree and several hundred thousand dollars in the bank they are off to a better start than most people their age. They need to get the money when they can for their softball abilities.

Don't they need a $125000 car when they're at school. How about exit money. Here's the deal. Play here for 4 years and receive $75,000 a year for the next 4 years. Gotta help them understand tax codes?
Stanford is Ranked 5th in pay. The first salary is early career. the second salary is mid career. Obviously the type of degree that you major in will have a significant factor in your salary. These are just average salaries.

Something I’ve not seen mentioned but a thought I had with this situation. And not saying this is the case. But what if someone used the portal to become a free agent so the market can set a players value. Then their school matches the offer and they withdrawal their name. This is all uncharted territory especially a female sport. They say a starting qb is 1 million plus. But what is the national player of the year that’s a pitcher actually worth? What could Cagle have gotten last season being player of the year?

That’s because the long held “secret” was that college sports are professional sports. It’s just formal now.
