The NCAA repays the pro leagues somehow, possibly by giving the leagues free advertising at sporting events.</p><p>There are probably billions of reasons why this couldn't work out, and many of those reasons will be dollars.</p><p>I admit that I don't know much about the intricacies of the NCAA's relations with pro leagues, but thought I'd throw the idea out here while it's still on my brain.</p><p>Any thoughts?</p>
