Before we get started, you should refresh yourself on the other parts of the bill – especially this portion on the economic structure, because we’re going to be discussing that at length in relation to both conference realignment and the transfer portal.

If you opt out of the re-read, that’s okay – we’ll give you a quick refresher: The way that Baumgartner is trying to “restore” college sports here is by eliminating most profit motives within the college sports ecosystem. 

How? Well, with a somewhat “socialistic” economic structure – one that redistributes most of the profits equally amongst schools and players. By eliminating profit motives, he sees downstream stability in a variety of ways, especially in relation to the transfer portal.
