Yahoo Sports: NCAA proposing new college athletics subdivision rooted in direct athlete compensation

The next step will be unions or some other organized collective bargaining to force a revenue sharing model.

These schools might be making less money in 15 years than prior to all of this realignment.

I think this is the NCAA's way of trying to get ahead of student athletes being considered employees by the government and thus looking for an exemption from those things.

A salary cap won't work because it wouldn't prevent players from making more through "NIL", same as in professional sports

You're right. But, I suggest capping what the school can pay directly. Then let true NIL (not the current farce) and cheating be a differentiator for the big boys. It would kind of get us back to where we were and let the players cash in.

This all confuses me. What is a scholarship. For an out of state student at Michigan that would be about $70,000 per year. That sounds like a lot more then minimum wage.

Most kids would not have to pay full price. And 8 think someone here once said that even an kid on athletic scholarship, still applies for financial aid and the schools would get federal compensation.

That is a good point but a Pell Grant is about $7,500 max and an out of state student would not be eligible for state aid.
