The $ doesn't bother me. I didn't think they necessarily should get a salary. But they shouldn't have been disallowed from making $ from their fame. If your philosophy is that they are regular students, then don't put rules on them a regular student doesn't have to follow.

My issue w/college sports is that there is no loyalty to school anymore. While I believe players should be allowed to transfer just like other students can, the fact that players jump ship so easily has taken much of the joy out of the game for me. I don't think the transferring is wrong mind you. I just don't like it.

Super conferences don't bother me as much except for the elimination of long standing rivalries.

The biggest problem in college sports right now is the fact there is no strong powerful central body overseeing the various sports. The conferences act more like drug cartels than legit businessmen or caretakers of sport. And the college presidents that are in charge have more or less showed disinterest in bringing any regulation to the chaos.
