They won't want to pay taxes on their scholarship. Plus the powers of college sports won't let this happen. Hell, I'm sure the NFL will gladly help out to make sure it doesn't happen either. They benefit immensely with the given setup.

Full scholarships, small stipend, players have rights to their names. That's what it will most likely come down to
NU cannot make unilateral changes to working conditions for the purpose of keeping a union out at this point. The time to do that was before the indication of interest in a union.
