Play for Pay is here now. What direction will the 356 D-1 WBB programs take individually & en masse to realign reality with their primary educational mission?

Great summary from SI's Pat Forde: "This much is sure: Everything in college athletics is for sale, and cashing checks is the only thing that matters. That’s what drove Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC in the summer blockbuster of 2021, destabilizing the landscape. And now that’s what has driven USC and UCLA to the cusp of Big Ten membership in the jaw-dropping sequel.

It’s good for a few people. It’s bad for everyone else. And the dominoes are destined to keep falling. We’re nowhere near done."
