If folks want to get paid after HS, they should. Just not while playing


college basketball. Enterprising AAU guys can start a pay for play league if guys arent ready for the NBA. And they can pay the athletes what theyre worth. Of course you wont have college-provided facilities and fanbases that number in the tens and hundreds of thousands. So the teams and league may struggle to turn a profit, putting a major crimp on how much an athlete might get paid

Good luck funding and fielding a football league without the schools.

And the folks that want to go to school can choose to accept the terms of their scholarship, wear the school uni, get TV coverage and an education and see where that takes them.
