All 50 states soon could have separate rules about college superstars signing sneaker contracts or monetizing Instagram followers like the pros. Players might lend their faces to car dealership promotions, earn cash coaching sports camps or hire agents and lawyers to negotiate on their behalf.

Those pushing Congress to move say such a mishmash of state laws would create an uneven landscape for recruiting athletes. A school in one state could offer a hot prospect better options than a cross-border rival. The result might be monumental opportunities for young athletes, or as some NCAA officials argue, an existential crisis for college sports.

As I’ve said before, given the parade of never ending lawsuits, the only way anything even resembling the current NCAA model survives is if college athletics is granted an antitrust exemption in exchange for expanded government oversight of college athletics aimed at protecting student athletes. Anything short of an antitrust exemption means endless law suits challenging the existence of the current model.

I think government oversight is coming....and I believe the antitrust exemption is much more likely to happen than many think.

What a joke. Antitrust exemption in money generating CFB, but what is the difference when the NFL uses it.
