Adam Silver cited marketing as one of the reasons he wants to increase the age limit to 20. Plus a minor league system coming along and replacing college sports is not plausible. College sports are ingrained in American sports culture for almost a century. No minor league football team will be bigger than "Alabama, Texas, Notre Dame, etc. No minor league basketball teams will be bigger than Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UNC, etc. The exposure a player gets is as close as you can get to the Pros. There's way too much money involved in major college sports for this to happen.

Just because that's the way it's always been, doesn't make it the right answer. I'm in the camp of saying paying college kids (money) is not a good idea. We've all seen how insanely irresponsible (college) kids are. Tossing money at them won't help the situation! These kids are going to be selling themselves left and right.

That's like saying you shouldn't eat because you can get fat.

Dude it's the spoons. That's why people are fat. Have you ever seen someone eat soup or ice cream? They're using a spoon!!

Ban spoons and people won't get fat anymore. It's not that difficult to figure out..

You got me there. I can't argue with common sense.

Depends what qualifies as a good thing. It's nothing until appeals are done, and even then could still be bad for college video games as we knew them. Too early to tell.

Paying players may or may not be good for college sports but is likely a really good thing for video games based on college sports...
