You players have agreed to this.

You can't break your contract.

Hey, you can't transfer every year without a year off, without losing a year of eligibility, et cetera, et cetera.

You have agreed to this.

As of today, the NCAA has always just set forth rules from on high and the players have just sort of had to agree to that because that is all there is.

We have passed the Rubicon.

We have gone past the point where any of that makes sense.

We're thinking of these players as amateurs in any sense of the word makes sense.

Heck, sometimes even the term student athlete doesn't make sense anymore.

We're lucky enough at Duke that it does.

In most places, I don't think it really does.

It certainly doesn't for these guys who are playing for four schools in four years.

It's time for college sports fans.

It's time for the NCAA to stop pretending like we're living in a different world.

College sports can be saved, quote unquote.

We can still have college sports that are what we know and love, where players are representing our school, where we have that personal investment in the program.

That's what makes college sports so great.

That's what makes college sports different from professional sports, is you have an investment in that team.

Because you went to that school.

You wear those colors across your chest just like those players did.
