As a college football fan, the initial inclination is to recoil at the very idea of our beloved sport getting into bed with a private equity firm and selling its soul for a massive influx of new cash to help fund the expensive impending revenue sharing with athletes. The No. 1 objection you always hear is this: “If a private equity firm gets involved by loaning billions of dollars to college athletic programs across the country, then those firms will have the power to tell college athletic directors and presidents how that money would best be spent.” Question: Is that really such a bad thing? If you ask me, college ADs and presidents need to be told how their money should best be spent because, quite frankly, they’ve done a lousy job of managing their money for generations. The only reason college athletic programs have been able to turn a profit over the decades is because they have not had to pay their employees, er, student-athletes and have essentially been getting free labor.
