Interesting read on Locksley's thoughts about taking a bulk of that Big Ten TV money and creating a salary cap. Obviously, this would help the Marylands of the world and would likely make P5 college football more balanced overall. The Alabamas and Michigans of the world would no longer be able to simply outspend the competition. That said, schools directly paying players would likely present a lot of problems. The biggest, IMO (and not mentioned in the article), is the fact that direct payments would essentially make football players university employees. Ones that would likely want to unionize and get the same perks as tenured professors. Curious what you all think about this idea.
