OK.

If we are going to change the basics we have two fundamental directions we can go in.

The first is where these people are employees on the University and are entitled to all the protections and responsibilities that entails. We hire them. They work for the school. They can be terminated. etc. etc. This sets up inside the University a separate "business" they are in. It's unconnected to the teaching and research parts of the University. It's not too different from the University acquiring a Big Box retailer and operating that, Except instead of COSTCO it would be 'SYRACUSECO.

The other direction is the Ivy League model. They are straight-up students. There are no athletic scholarships. The SATs and Class ranking of the athlete's in any incoming class have to mirror the rest of the student body's. It's called the Ivy Academic Index and it looks at SAT scores and Class Rank.

Revenue aside, the Presidents on the Universities that make up the NCAA might prefer the second option.
