I hope that he actually does get involved with trying to think through what a reformed system would look like. I fear that what we are going to end up with in a few years is a LOT of young men with:
1) No college degree and a bunch of ****ty articulated credit hours that make degree completion a nightmare for them
2) IRS tax liabilities
3) Related - a lot of frustration that their payments are actually going to the IRS since the educational benefit of their scholarship FAR exceeds the IRS ed benefit cap and thus all those free rides are taxable at a pretty high tax bracket.
PS (on the above - conferences and the NCAA should ABSOLUTELY demand that as part of any salary cap and structured arrangement some of the player money go directly into an IRA at the full max rates possible. It is both good stewardship AND would reduce the bite at the end.)
Take care of your Chicken
