[QUOTE="sweeper, post: 998087, member: 1174"] When you treat athletes like a special or protected class with: 1) different admission criteria 2) specialized / restricted schedules 3) sequestration from the general student population with housing and dining facilities 4) opportunities for income that arise only by association with and while enrolled at the school one can make the argument that you are no longer a student, not in the traditional sense. Heck, with the portal, I’m not even sure the players are going to classes anymore with any regularity. If that is the case, the only thread tying them to a student label is gone. Get back to all traditional student athletes and you get out of this morass. Of course, who is going to do that willingly? [/QUOTE]
