If the general public knew those NCAA rules were there to prevent shoe companies and boosters from doing the same thing SMU got the death penalty for---my guess is those poll numbers would change drastically very quickly. Every person on this board acknowledges that if the California law was nationwide, the result would effectively become a pro pay-for-play league with boosters and shoe companies running the recruiting show. Money would become the key factor in deciding where players go. Who pays the tab is irrelevant---you'd have a pro league any way you cut it. That is the point the appellate court was making. The NCAA believes that part of the attraction of college football is that is is NOT professional football....and the NCAA isnt wrong on that point.

• Big Time college sports were professionalized decades ago. "Amateurism" is a lie.
  

It is amazing how well the NCAA propaganda worked all these years

What's even more amazing is that the patriarch of this propaganda, for three decades from it's inception, proclaimed it all to be BS. And still there are so many that believe in amateurism. That's a helluva hold. I guess I want to believe in magical pixie dust too. Sad state of affairs.
