Message: [QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 4655028, member: 8516"] Should a judge, or panel of appeals court judges, determine that athletic “scholarships” are employee compensation, then all hell will break loose in academe. Am I being an alarmist? You decide. Consider the double b-flat contrabass clarinet player. I used to be one of that strange breed of humanoid, and numerous colleges and universities offered me full scholarships to attend their institutions and make groaning sounds on that contraption. Now then, if “scholarships” “paid” to basketball players are employee compensation, then “scholarships” awarded to musicians must also be employee pay, and the symphonic band and orchestra members will able to unionize and strike for free cork grease, reeds, rosin, strings, etc. Oh, the horror of it all!
