What Effect Will Paying College Athletes Have on the Fans?
Briefly

In the wake of the NCAA’s agreement allowing Power 5 schools to directly compensate athletes, universities are forced to explore new revenue streams to sustain these payouts, potentially impacting academic programs.
Traditionally, schools might raise ticket prices, increase premium seating options, or upscale concessions to fund player payments, which may set off debates about resource allocation within institutions.
