This is an older article, pre-pandemic, but it still applies. Most athletic departments are in the red and accounting is a shell game. Only a few will actually be able to survive this “pay for play” era, so college athletics will absolutely be diminished. I might agree with the Court’s decision, but anybody who thinks this will result in better outcomes for players is delusional. The NCAA never should have let this issue get to this point and only has itself to blame.
