This is the difference. Because the people at the top don't want to give a cut, there's are no proper contracts. And without a contract, both parties are vulnerable and can get fricked.

I know a guy who played for South Carolina in the early eighties. That is until he fricked his knee up, and they revoked his scholarship.

You don't see that often anymore with injuries. But it probably still happens at smaller schools. Getting crucified in the media is the only reason they wouldn't do it.
