I'd imagine the only reason no one has tried yet is because the lawyers can't find a client. The number of athletes competing in sports where there's a lot of NIL money being spent who are actually willing to pursue a PhD, MD, JD, MBA, etc. while playing sports is likely very small. And that's probably the route they'd have to go unless the schools got on board with the idea of letting them keep pursuing different undergraduate degrees. Possible, but I'd imagine unlikely.

I certainly don't understand the minutiae quite yet, but considering that college athletes could inevitably be considered employees, I wonder how that concept would apply to eligibility?
In other words, could Utah State hire a 33-year-old G League journeyman SG to come in for a year to mentor a true freshman?
Do we just throw everything out the window regarding amateurism, eligibility, and maybe even full-time enrollment at that point?
