Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 1006984, member: 1526"] I agree if they are employees. But if their pay is a scholarship and dependent on being student in good standing, it's access to an educational program. If simply an employee, they can either use their pay or not to pay their tuition, or not even enroll, etc. They would basically be an employee who gets paid to play a sport. I agree that would probably not fall under Title IX. Who knows how that would affect a fan's desire to watch them play games. To me, it's not as appealing. I like the fact that athletes are students too and come away with a degree if they do things the right way. If that goes away, I am not sure I would feel the same loyalty or interest toward them. Also, I imagine if that happens, there would be even more cries of how they are exploited. [/QUOTE]
