What will be fascinating is to watch what happens with youth sports once they start paying college athletes. It will no longer be about little Johnny getting a college scholarship to play for Note Dame, it will be about real money. Can't wait to see what the sidelines sound like at your local youth sporting event.

I don't get this line of reasoning. Colleges will never be able to pay what pro teams do. They will never be able to afford to pay every athlete on every team. Certain colleges will always be able to pay more than others. This won't change anything. If anything, it will exacerbate the problem.

The "real" money will always be in the pros. Get the kids to the pros quicker, if they want.
