Since when do all "employees" deserve to be compensated based on how much profit the "business" brings in?

If you want to compare it to a employer/employee relationship, an agreement of compensation was already agreed upon before the employees even made it to the campus. They agree to be compensated with a free education, housing, food, and other perks on top of an internship for a profession in the NFL.

These terms were not agreed upon based on profits earned. Since most athletic programs don't turn a profit, it would be silly to make that part of the deal.

They are not employees, just treated like they are employees. And they bring in a lot of money. Any intern that was directly responsible for that much revenue would be compensated significantly more or wouldnt be an intern very long....
