I was hesitant to take the bait (and digress from the OP). But no matter how many times you post the student-athletes-are-employees take, the fact is that neither SCOTUS nor the legion of courts considering the issue has ever reached that conclusion. Cheating has long been a part of college sports. But it should be punished, not legitimized as "NIL for the kids". Charitable collectives are one thing; we can look the other way even if few student-athletes have NIL value independent of their team brands. What we can't tolerate is NIL as a rous by factory boosters and greedy state legislators to buy wins ... a scheme that is totally incongruent with the purpose, and the underlying legal structure, of amateur athletics. All these fat-cats are doing is making college sports dirtier, more tilted and less enjoyable. NIL used as pay-for-play is an insult to the vast majority of the nation's universities and 99.5% of the 460,000+ student athletes who value the education they receive in exchange for playing a game they love.
