That's wonderful, but scholarships do exist so that's not a factor.
But there was talk from the Big 10 I believe at one point that they would eliminate scholarships rather than pay athletes. The NFL promptly responded with the possibility of a minor league system should this occur.
I mean Goodell desperately wants a team in London so wouldn't this be an ideal solution?
I'm sure it was hubris on the schools part but the fact they capitulated to full CoA shows they realize the value from their unpaid labor and the threat the establishment of minor league system would pose.

Pretty sure that would only happen if courts ruled players should be paid.

And if scholarship and academic pursuit are such noble causes, why isn't Nick Saban's salary commiserate with that of the Psychology professor?
You can't say he can go to the NFL if he's not paid because we all know how that ended the last time
Based on some of yall's assumptions, there's no reason for a mere football coach to be the highest paid public employee in most states.
