How many have agents and signed contracts with the universities?
How many have endorsement deals?
How many renegotiated deals at the end of the year?

Revenue share is not a salary. Which is why they aren't considered employees.

It’s impossible to say because our own SEC commissioner can’t even define it lol

So you need a salary to be a pro? What about golfers?

But it's still considered income and taxable. They are being paid to play football.

And still professionals. I was arguing against the notion that a salary is needed to be called professional.

It's the reason why they still aren't considered employees of the school. It's literally what the schools are saying. It's not my definition.

I'm just saying how college football is treating it according to the schools themselves.
