I would think it is the next logical step. Plus it is already done with players who play one sport being allowed to come back and play another (Brandon Weeden).
Anyone who has ever called for players to be paid and/or cited the Olympic model for paying players would have to be open to the idea. Why limit a player's earning potential?
The justification that "it's never been done that way" isn't a good enough reason to not do it.
It's why I understand why the NCAA would hold the line on not paying S-A at all. Once it's done in any way, it opens a lot of other changes in the system.
That's a wild slippery slope argument.
Now you are restricting someone from making money.
These aren't amateurs anymore.
The Olympic Model suggestion that some have suggested doesn't restrict who can compete or for how long. What makes 4 seasons a logical barrier to competition
I think that once players receive pay it opens a lot of doors.
