This settlement will have absolutely no effect on the future of college athletics. The Big 10 and SEC stand to make a ton more money if they eventually merge, add a couple blue bloods from the remaining schools, and then cut everyone else out of the process of major college athletics. And nothing is going to stop them from acting in their own self-interest.
Forty to fifty schools in ... everyone else out. Just like the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.
"No pay-4-play/booster pay" <---- LMAO. Good luck with that. The genie is out of the bottle.
