House Settlement Approved

Then tax them as employees, lose much better medical coverage and care, traded for measly Worker's comp, and enforce contracts, i.e. a four or five year deal for each school. Two can play your game.

If the "degree isn't actually worth anything" then college is a fraud and we should all demand all government funding cease immediately. If you are limiting your comment to student athletes, then apply the same to the student athletes only. Eliminate college sports.

Then start a farm system for the NFL with games on Saturdays.

P.S. Nice strawman argument. I am glad they get a stipend, the comment was and is there for you to read. You make the strawman argument because you have no valid argument. I merely stated the facts, I don't necessarily agree with the entire framework, it needs work. Regardless, Title IX was enacted by Congress, it is the law. Football and basketball pay the way for all other sports. Build a bridge and get over it.

They should be taxed as employees with health insurance and contracts. That is 100% the route we should be going at this point, rather than continuing the charade of "student athletes".

College is a fraud, outside of highly specialized fields like engineering, research, medical professions, etc. Maybe one or two players are in those fields. A bachelor's degree is largely meaningless and a way for employers to weed out candidates that couldn't afford to attend school. What is the point of a business degree?

There should 100% be a farm system for the NFL as college athletics are a monopoly. There is no avenue for players that do not have the grades to attend college to make the league.

They better get this done soon, we're running out of clever acronyms.

Never! They will merely contract the acronym side to the military, the source of neverending acronyms. Who can forget FUBAR and SNAFU? Give a GI a new piece of gear or equipment and they will have it acronyms on five minute or less, mainly because no one has the time to call everything but it's official name nor can anyone recall the official name for everything.

I think some Ds also want collective bargaining for the athletes.
