re: Ok. I've got a question about college athletes becoming university employees.

I would think that they wouldn't get scholarships but the payments from the university would be more than sufficient, and yes they would still be students. Plenty of students are also employees at schools everywhere.

I would think a scholarship would still be included. That shite ain't cheap these days when you factor in all the costs beyond tuition.(housing, meal plan and incidentals) Of course if there are still scholarship limits some of the top NIL earners could give up their scholly to make room for players who are just getting the minimum salary. (walk-ons and such) Speaking of which, there are very few companies where every employee makes the same amount, it will be interesting to see how that shakes out. Incentive based? Salary goes up each year they remain with the same program? Separate pay tiers for starters and backups? Each player individually negotiates their salary? This is gonna be a clusterfrick, no way I'd work in a university AD these days.
