[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 1002392, member: 6771"] I think the SA is an independent contractor as has been, in essence, for a long time. Athletic scholarships have been the binding contractual vehicle for decades for securing their athletic prowess on behalf of the school. Their payment was free or reduced tuition plus all the additional perks such as clothing, food, housing, tutoring, books, training, and medical services, among others. However, the NCAA limited NIL to almost zero prior to the O’Bannon and Alston cases in which COA and NIL were affirmed by the courts as legitimate rights of SA’s subject to antitrust laws. IMO, the next step is to codify the SA as an IC wrt his/her sport allowing the ability to unionize. I also believe this will bring about the end of college sports as we know it by eliminating athletic scholarships. Those who qualify for academic scholarships can access those, while others opt to play in a “premier league” (SEC/B1G) type environment that can afford to pay players enormous sums of money for their services.
