NIL has nothing to do with the question of classifying an athletics program as a business. Nice straw man though.
I didn’t mention that at all

My bad, did not mean to reply to you.
I actually agree with what you said though. Covering all education related expenses is fine to me because it's part of the cost of attendance, but signaling that they are willing to classify an athletics department as a business and the athletes as employees is a huge problem and will very likely lead to schools making massive budget cuts. And how does Title IX play into this? If you pay the football team you have to pay the women's soccer team despite all those programs operating at a big loss and doing very little to financially benefit individual universities or the NCAA. It's a football and men's basketball problem, not a non-revenue sport problem.
