NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

[Bisonoline]

If they’re classified as employees will they still even be required to actually be students? Or are we just heading down the path of universities being a football developmental league where players aren’t actually students? At that point you could strip away the non-profit status of these universities due to them creating a sports business on the backs of what are supposed to be academic institutions.

If they are considered employees then everything they get from the university will be taxable. Room board books tuition FCOA payments etc.
