The Athletes did have a say in when college sports when the seeds of its ruin were sowed.  Actually a former College Athlete on the Supreme Court DISSENTED against this majority opinion:

"The NCAA position that an interest in maintaining a competitive balance justified the television plan was also rejected.[21] While agreeing with the desire to maintain such a balance, Stevens noted that there was no evidence that the plan succeeded in that effort.[fn 9] The decision of the circuit court was affirmed.[26]"

So please keep this in mind before you come for the athletes and their "disloyal ways" because it is the system that has the power and teaching them their "disloyal ways".   Everyone else Media Distributers, Commercial Sponsors, NIL contributers and Private Individual Sponsors are just buying product. 

And if you are a secondary fan of the Oklahoma Sooners on this board complaining about the system please preface criticism of the system or greedy immature athletes with "I know I am a hypocrite but....."
