This actually works for the Ivy League.
Yeah - I wonder how many stud 5*'s from Florida/Alabama/Lousisiana/Mississippi would get into the Ivy's?

The issue is good vs great and the value of inherited money

In the rest of the country poor kids can use college athletics to actually springboard to better academic educations. In the Ivy's (without sports scholarships) it is the same trust fund gene pool to make up the student bodies. And they think kids in the south are inbred!

If all schools adopted this model it would negate the lawsuits. Treat them as students not athletes.

You missed the point.

Once this gets voted in, the punk lawyers will fold their weak hand.

Just the threat of taking these scholarships away will have the desired effect.

If we had to ultimately do this, I am sure kids could get government grants to go to school and then could play ball, personally I don't give a shyt, maybe this would weed out some of the morons.

And those saying we can't vote to exclude private institutions !!!
WHY, we damn sure can have 18 teams that pay and the rest who don't.

Let's face it, these players aren't employees, it's a silly ruling by a bunch of commies.
