Guarantee Scholarships. Athletic scholarships are always going to be awarded based on athletic skill. But once they are, athletics should be removed from the equation. Scholarships should only be canceled for the same reasons that academic scholarships are taken away. The NLRB’s decision takes this very far though. It may mean preventing institutions from canceling aid even when athletes fall academically ineligible (but not kicked out of school) and allowing athletes to keep their scholarships even after they quit the team.
of all the suggestions I think this is the most realistic and fair.
