At least that will reduce the need for basket weaving courses and recreation majors.

This... But I'd make them play for a non-NCAA team

National COLLEGIATE Athletic Association

If p5 wants to go that direction, they can... but lets OUT them as not being COLLEGE athletes... merely athletes that a college pays for.... some of whom will play sports.

Trust me guys... the number of players that will get more from this than they would from a scholarship won't be as much as many think. It will be more like the NFL where a dozen or so players make up the majority of the salary pool, and lots of other guys are making near their minimum

And that fact of life will then be learned by participants far earlier in their life.
