Next Navy QB!!!

College football is done as we knew it. It’s professional minor league with no salary cap and every player is a free agent. There’s a good argument to be made that players should be monetarily compensated but it’s past time to dump the term “student athlete”. It’s always been a toy for alumni boosters. The path forward is to separate football from the college and have the affiliation be a licensing agreement in which the school trades on their name and likeness , rents their facilities, and perhaps takes a percentage of the merch. We’re kind of there already.
To wit, University of Florida is under NCAA investigation a year after a failed name, image and likeness deal worth more than $13 million with former signee Jaden Rashada.

... so what? nothing shocks me anymore...
... even a walk-on player can expect a $50,000.00 payday, $18,000.00 more than a 1st year teacher's salary in my home state.
