Exactly.  From all I've seen and heard, since I haven't read the report, there are no real surprises here.  This reports conclusions seem to be all is well with the status quo which just needs a few tweaks.  Nowhere does this report acknowledge that the NCAA, a multi billion dollar business salaries absolutely everyone involved, including the talking heads on TV, except the product on the court.

The idea that players should pay for their scholarships sidesteps or ignores the fact that athletes that play hockey, baseball, tennis and many other sports can leave college early or get paid while in school and still maintain their status.  Only certain sports, football, and basketball, are so scrutinized.  These of course are the sports that make all of these other sports financially viable.  Sports where the supporting families have the least to contribute.  Sports whose athletes seemingly have the shortest careers and the worst injuries.  Also stating that the AAU needs to be regulated without any real recommendations or solutions pretty much makes this report master of the obvious.
