MVC is purely a developmental league now

Mid-majors are feeder programs.

Agreed. Summit and MVC just get their talent stolen every spring now.

Because life as a student-athlete at that level just isn't as appealing and doesn't offer as much as the higher levels. Kids don't grow up dreaming of playing at Indiana State. Mid-major coaches understand the deal, and selling kids on putting in a couple of good years at their level before making the jump is part of their recruiting pitches now.
Mid- and low-majors have never been operating on anywhere close to an even playing field, and that's OK. There are a lot of good basketball players who fall short of what it takes to be successful at the high-major level, and it's good for them to have a place where they can play and either develop into the kind of player that can play in the Big Ten/Big East/etc. or just have a solid college career. There are still going to be good players at the mid-major level every year as coaches discover new hidden gems or turn drop-down transfers into stars.

Good. Most will find their place in the new world and everyone will get paid more closely related to their worth than they did under the old system. Of course some players, like some schools and coaches in the past will misplay their hand and be left not where they wat to be. Some will be better off, some will not, just like before. These guys are just getting a jump start on work and life before they graduate.

In general, it's an improvement, but they need to be careful that they don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs with the changes to the system. Does anyone think that Pops is worth 700K (rumored to be the bag of cash he's getting?). Even disregarding the baggage, he's simply not that good of a player, even if he lives up to his potential
