Perhaps they could be paid as independent contractors (via a 1099 vs. W-2). This would alleviate your concerns, I believe...For public schools in certain states this effectively makes players employees of the state, right? With all the rights granted by that state for its employees, including pension rules, etc.?
I'm guessing too many other benefits provided by schools to qualify as independent contractors, but not my sector of the IRSPerhaps they could be paid as independent contractors (via a 1099 vs. W-2). This would alleviate your concerns, I believe...

Next up: binding short-term contracts and transfer restrictions... then, long-term contracts, change in term to "college employee-athlete", employee-athlete trades between schools, formation of a national college employee-athlete association/union, salary caps, arbitration/strikes, and finally, takeover of each individual college sport by existing or future professional teams & leagues with every university relinquishing its athletic department and the B1G Research Consortium's secret plan to rule the world will finally be unstoppable with college sports out of the way.

100 percent agree. If a P5 school has a 20 million budget for athletes (no idea what the top schools will do). That is a lot of money to go around. I fear the non revenue sports will soon be goneHundreds — maybe thousands — of bag men will soon be out of work.

Ya, now get ready for the direction to support the large market teams. The NBA is a great example of who we don't want to be.College sports is officially dead.
Another aspect to think about, if the schools are paying the coach $4 million+ and there is another couple of million spent on players, how much are tickets going to cost?

Questions I have:
Will Title IX require same amount of money spent on men and women’s sports?
Do schools specialize to be a basketball football or other sport school.
This will be interesting
