The NCAA’s old rules broke college sports
The college sports model has become more chaotic, more money-hungry, and more untenable as the years have gone by, a direct result of the NCAA‘s stubborn refusal to change.

The current model of the sport is athletes being paid by “NIL collectives,” organizations funded by alumni to funnel money to athletes at particular schools for particular sports.
