Back Door and others who make good points opposed to this: Isn't this just the law of unintended consequences coming home to roost?

The NCAA intends to promote purity. Fine. Problem is, they also want to profit off of athletes. Not so fine.

Athletes want to pursue their dreams and make a lot of money. Fine. Problem is, if they're football or basketball players, the NCAA is the only legit funnel to their dreams.

Baseball, ironically, has a third way. That seems like the solution -- and it's easy to understand why a baseball player should suck it up: He had a choice.

His buds who play football or basketball? Not so much.
