Limit College‑Sports Competition

The article proposes that preserving broad, sustainable collegiate athletics may require deliberately constraining competition—for example via a targeted antitrust exemption that enables revenue sharing, movement limits, and coordinated NIL rules. That would trade traditional market freedoms for institutional stability and continued support for nonrevenue sports and campuses. — If accepted, this idea would recast antitrust policy as a tool to preserve cultural institutions and redistribute economic rents in college sports, with precedent-setting implications for other sectors.
