When navigating uncharted waters one has to wait until one reaches a strong port to truly determine what their actions have produced. The word "integrity" and "honesty" will be sorely tested by all concerned within this new money making machine.

Endless opportunities for criminal influence and racketeering once the behind the scenes superstructure begins to take shape and then solidifies. Once this is done we can get a much clearer idea of how it will all play out. I hope it will be what it would be in an altruistic environment where everybody wins.

Basically every athlete outside the SEC will be poor

I'm happy for the players to finally be compensated for their contributions to the sport. Everyone watching knows CFB is not amateurism, it's merely a pro stepping stone to the NFL.

It will be interesting seeing the impact of five star QB making millions of dollars before ever taking a college snap while the offensive lineman protecting him makes hardly anything at all.

Besides a free college education, housing, food, and stipend

I get your point, but I do not agree. You say "every" and that word is an absolute. Yet you temper it with the word "basically". You haven't left yourself much room to wiggle around in for this particular issue.

Every college team in America has a college town. And those players are celebrities in their own right, locally speaking. Look at all the opportunities for endorsements they will have with just about every kind of business you can think of.

When there is money to be made no one is better at it than Americans and this opportunity will be leveraged out the ass by basically every athlete outside of the SEC!

I hope it literally destroys the sport.

Buckeye & Tide will be even more dominant moving forward.

It might level field against the big dogs, since bagman are no longer needed.

Like everything else that gets hyped up, not nearly as much as you'd think.

I fear it will but am glad athletes are getting paid. They could have negotiated something years ago to make this reasonable but now we got total free for all and I don't think the sport is set up for it.
