I'm an old fossil, wish we could go back to when college sports were not so outright professional. Admittedly, even in Wooden's day things were far from purely amateur, but with freshmen ineligible, guys had to quite literally be students first.
But now, in 2026, unless you want to "drop" to a "lower" division, obviously you have to pay well if you want to play well.
