what do you think the role of the NCAA will be going forward?

In an interview on ESPN radio Ryan Day talked about the confusion NIL is causing because he said their compliance people were telling him that they are still subject to NCAA governance. Raised several questions:
- Will the NCAA have any jurisdiction on any of college sports (i.e. could they pull another penalty like they did on Penn State)?
- If NCAA has no jurisdiction, will they continue to exist for any reason? i.e. why would the schools want to continue to fund them under the contract they have now?
- If there is not NCAA, will their be any governance on NIL? We seem to have legislatures in several states drafting laws independently on what is an interstate issue.
- Day was worried that NIL could be used for recruiting by paying to sign with blanket offers. Phil actually discussed that on his show today.
- Day also mentioned that he wanted to see the NIL $$$ spread around, which means he does not understand the $$$ are between who is paying and the player directly - not shared.
- Day also said they were "standing up" an organization to support NIL with legal, financial and compliance staffing. This sounds like a serious budget for something the school has no role in. Another item to add to tuition cost.
