The NCAA and some universities bring it on themselves. Still, my stomach turned a little watching that Ben Simmons documentary and how he made a complete mock of college. Guys like that just want to be, and should be allowed, to be pros. I still think that the spirit of amateurism can be preserved while allowing these men and women (just read about Katie Ledecky) to profit off themselves. Williams will be able to play and train like a pro. The GLeague pay is about 30k but if an agent wants to give him 100k or a million that's cool. I'm watching this development and I hope he ends up a high pick next year if for no other reason than show that players can stay stateside and still realize their NBA dream.

Great post!

Of course the NCAA wants to make sure players don't get paid for their performance - they want to keep those billions to themselves.

To go off of what I said there, I expect Louisville to fire Pitino and Jurich if for nothing else to save themselves as repeat offenders.
