Per the article, they have a second purpose, to ask that players not be deemed university employees, as that will open up a whole new can of worms.

The second point should tell you how weak they are afraid their first point is. Nobody heads to meet politicians without a stated goal to serve as a sacrificial lamb in negotiations. Pay for play is going to happen. So sacrifice that in hopes of progress on guidelines for NIL.

The word today is that they were essentially rebuffed.

Now Sankey and Kliavkoff can say, "Well, we tried!" "Now let's breakaway and set our own rules as a league."
