I wonder if removing scholarships entirely for football and Men's basketball would take it out of Title IX? The players would simply become employees of the athletic departments. This is where it could become interesting.  Workers' compensation laws would apply for the schools. The accounting students could have some real world experience helping the athletes with taxes (especially high earners that, like NFL players, who have to pay state taxes for the different states in which their games). Florida including "no state income tax" as part of its recruiting pitches. Agents! Employment contracts with athletes that could include financial penalties for missing classes, poor performance, and terminating the contract early for the draft or to transfer. Shantydaze having a lot more free time and disposable income because my connection with the football programs of my alma maters would fray and the local NFL team is only 30  minutes away and my alma maters are two hours and 14 hours away.
