Boy the NCAA is about to have a mess on their hands. They have to make a move in initial counters and roster limits ASAP.

Absolutely correct. What you said has zero correlation on being the worst run business in America. Shady? Unethical? Ridiculous? Embarrassing? Yes, all of the above. But they keep cashing checks. If my business made me wealthier than 99.999% of all people in the world, you can call it every name you'd like. But you better not tell me it's poorly run. Not from the broke side of the street, at least.

LOL. You know how much money they make?!

The worst run businesses are the ones who go broke. They are ELITE at running their business. If only every other business could pay their employees absolutely nothing.....

Just look at the current state of global economics for proof of exactly this.

You can sign 25 high school kids a year
Transfers don't count as an IC, only against the scholarship max.
Expand the scholarship max to 100 next year, reduce to 95 the following year, 90 the year after, and then back to 85 to combat the free year of eligibility.

Boom, problem solved. Coaches get a huge roster to play with, all the transfer kids have spots to land, and coaches don't have to make a choice between high school recruits and transfers.

They don't have to have 100 players but with the free year of eligibility your freshmen class is essentially 40-50 guys if you sign a normal class this year. The roster space has to be expanded regardless or teams will be forcing existing players into the portal just to make room for the incoming class.
 
All the big schools should go off and start their own league, and basically run it as a miner league to the pros at this point.

Teams should be allowed to sign up to the 100 man roster number, every year. Simple.

The ones being hurt by all this are the HS kids looking for a scholarship, prime example is Manny saving spots for transfers. Every transfer at this point is lost chance for HS kid.

To expand on this, my understanding is that they have not so far increased the initial counter count of 25 which transfers do currently count against and there is a lot of uncertainty in regards to whether they will either raise the count or count the transfers differently. Even if they counted transfers differently/separately, I don't think anyone knows (at least publicly) what limits would be (ex: maybe a max of 30 kids total, but only 25 of them can ben HS signees? 25 HS and one year unlimited transfers, etc).

They also haven't said anything officially on raising the scholarship cap, but since they have granted everyone an extra year if they want it and haven't told schools to sign less HS kids, it is widely assumed that they will raise the scholarship cap (or ignore it) at least for the next few years.

Nah, making profits from monopolies doesn't mean the business is well run. It just means you have a product everyone wants and no one else can provide. If I have the cure for cancer and no one else can sell it, then I could make infinite sums of money. Doesn't mean I run my business well.

NCAA is like big pharma or military contracts. Very little incentive to run a good business once the demand is established and no one else can supply the market.

Agreed but it might as well be a sentence for the bottom half of the league. Rich get richer and bottom half gets scraps.
