the economic benefit isn't the answer. I think the $2B in back pay they will be forced to pay to previous players is a joke. It's not nearly enough.
It will be interesting to see where salaries go from here. I think they go much higher. Maybe 15% of revenue becomes somewhat standard? That would mean a school like OH St will have about $35M to pay players with (perhaps $25M of that directly from the school and another $10M directly from new donations)???
