The NCAA is in need of reform. I don’t think there’s anybody who would disagree with that. But something this radical isn’t the answer. Can the necessary changes take place without blowing up the entire system? Yes, I believe it can. But they have to give it time to be implemented and work. Sadly, with the current state of college athletics, I’m not sure they’ll be given that time they need. And the system as we know it might be forever changed as a result.
