    Agree. For the few that appear to be winning, the law of averages will come back around and they will not sustain. All that the system has done is drive the prices up for the same players. Fans are poorer and players are richer. W & L balance out. Kinda like gambling. The house never loses long term, the gambler does.

    Yes. And just like "professional" sports, the increased pay gets passed onto the fans via ticket prices, concessions, memorabilia...

The money is rolling in for the schools that were smart enough to get ahead of the changes and the ones who were already established. As far as sustainability, the unlimited portal doesn’t seem like it is, but the genie is out of the bottle, who knows where that goes.
    Excellent post, it is without a doubt a business at this point. I can see why university is hesitant to put more money into it if the return, at this point in time, is not there. Strike while the iron is hot not cold.
