Yea, there is a reason most sports don't have a hard cap. The haves only want to give up enough to make sure they have opponents, preferably opponents weak enough that they can consistently stay in the top 10% just be being competent.

The real reason college sports won't get fixed is that it really is a unique animal. The Union CBA model doesn't really work b/c of how relatively short players' eligibility is. Need a legislative fix, but good luck on that. NCAA should have been pushing for this a long time ago but they were too busy getting fat and didn't want to upset the apple cart.

Need a federal law exempting college and high school athletic organizations from antitrust with respect to players. Also prohibit professional sports leagues from keeping out people (1) who are 18 and (a) have graduated or (b) obtained GED or (2) who are 19 at time of the draft. Then maybe put some sort of law in that effectively mandates that Division I, Division II, and Division III schools can't have the same governing body. Then you don't have any one college organization dominating college sports and you don't have the excuse that amateurs can't play pro. May also want to allow governing organizations to restrict college coaches pay so that you don't have coaches making milliosn while players are amateurs.
