I have mixed feelings on this. For the students, it's a huge boon. Getting paid to risk your future physical ability for just the cost of a degree (or even only part of that cost) and an outside shot at being elevated to the pro level never seemed like a good deal to me. On the other hand, without strict control over how monies are paid out, the elite schools will only get more so while the small schools will face even greater difficulties in attracting top tier talent.
We may be heading into a college sports world where the biggest schools simply take turns buying championships, much like the 80s in the NFL.
