If you are not college material go G League. Return NCAA to somewhat real Student/Athletes.

Why not just re-classify the revenue sports as work-study programs for the NFL and the NBA and give the students a degree in their chosen profession?

We do it for artists, writers, engineers, lawyers, doctors, and scientists...why not athletes?

Because people forget that the majority of players wont br playing in the NBA or NFL. People like to believe sometimes that most of these players are being deprived millions, the truth is most will need to get an actual job when they are done. Maybe some might play in Europe a couple years and make a couple bucks, but they will need to get a job eventually. Unless Bazley becomes an All Star talent, he is going to regret his decision one day, and realize he may bnb have actually lost out on financial opportunities.

The majority of people who study acting don't end up as successful actors...
The majority of people who study art don't end up as successful artists...
The majority of people who study philosophy don't end up as successful philosophers...

and on...and on....and on....

They are still offered as majors.

Why not work study in FB and MBB?

OK but the majority of people who study Art, Acting, Philosophy pay tuition, room and board. Want to study FB or BB pay or get a student loan.

Wasn't the idea behind work study that the work portion of the work study would offset tuition? Their "work" pays in revenue to the University--so just use that to offset tuition and room and board...The "evaluation" of their work would be their ability to "produce" in their chosen profession...thus warranting higher pay in the real world, or, at the collegiate level, a higher % of their tuition...those that don't either ride the pine and have to foot their own bill, or they could switch majors.

I really don't see the problem here.
