It is the power conferences that are making the money while other schools are struggling to even make a profit. We will not see a Boise State, UCF, Western Michigan, Hawaii or Northern Illinois will get the players or make a NY6 bowl as G5 schools will have 2 or more loses as players want to play at schools who can afford the pay for play. These laws are a joke, and do not help make the playing field equal like Boise State can compete for a national championship in football just like Washington.

I imagine that If I am a player, I could care less whether some G5 fan in the peanut gallery thinks that their G5 team not being on equal terms with Alabama is the "major factor" in college sports. I would care more about being able to make more money myself.

As for your point, college sports generally, and football particularly, have been this way for 150 years, which is longer than just about anything else. So somehow, some way, the model has worked.

There's a reason there are 50 college football games each Saturday, all day long, on TV - people like it.
