like NIL was never going to happen, I think it eventually happens. I am not alone with this opinion, there are many think that way, like it or not, IMHO the courts will demand it. On the scholarships, I won't give you the sport to protect my anonymity, but these student athletes families have plenty of money and cannot get financial need based aid. I am telling you this information comes straight from college coaches, they get academic money based on their grades and SAT's. One of my children's teams in High School, 24 out of 25 made the honor roll, and several had SAT scores in the 1500's. One missed 1 question on the SAT 1 and SAT 2. I can tell you having dealt with College Coaches for decades with non-revenue athletes, the first question out of their mouth for the athlete, is what is your GPA and it needs to be in the 4.0 range for them to continue the discussion. The kids are often in shock because they think they won't be measured against the regular student applicants, but that is what happens with non-revenue sports way more than it doesn't happen. Maybe a couple of superstars on the team were cut a break, but that is the overwhelming minority situation in each class.
