I’m not sure whether or not it is, but in my opinion, the topic of whether or not NCAA athletes should be compensated in some way for their contributions to multi-billion-dollar enterprises should be one of the biggest topics in all of sports. Compensated, of course, in some way beyond their scholarships, before I get comments about that.
Apparently, the NCAA is working toward a solution, or at least working toward considering a solution, that would allow athletes to be indirectly compensated in ways that do not constitute a salary as an employee of the university.
