[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 941495, member: 2426"] That is one of the ways that NCAA athletes have NOT been treated like regular students. If they are simply college students who engage in intercollegiate sports, then treat them like college students who compete in intercollegiate sports. Do club sports restrict whether a student can transfer to another school and play in the club there? Do club sports prevent members from earning money, unless it is provided from the club? No. NCAA athletes were treated far differently than normal students. I am not in favor of college athletics being professional athletics. However, the NCAA has treated athletes as employees and has had extreme restrictions on what they can and cannot do. I don't think college athletics would be in the NIL mess it is in today had they been treating student-athletes as students 20, 30, or 50 years ago. 15 years ago, scholarships were limited to 1 year. A football program could revoke the scholarship at any time. The SA could not decide to go to another school without sitting out of competition for a year. (even a walk on). The NCAA went after a football player at UCF for having a monetized YouTube channel. That channel wasn't even financially successful at the time they went after him. The actions and policies of the NCAA are what caused this mess. [/QUOTE]
