Message: [QUOTE="speckle, post: 4991234, member: 13335"] The whole thing feels like trying to solve a 10000 piece jigsaw puzzle from the inside out. There's barely 40 schools that are causing real problems for the entire collegiate athletics system. Making college athletes employees seems to have one glaring issue that's rarely talked about. The value of the students' scholarships and benefits would become federally taxable income. So schools would have to pay these kids additionally to at least absorb the fed tax bill incurred receiving the scholarship?! The whole thing gets unwieldy at step 1. I'm still very optimistic for UConn and it's exceptional basketball product. I do believe the acc will dissolve this calendar year and will open up some interesting opportunities for us. And I do think you're right about the higher end academic schools and basically all the privates eventually opting away from the mega football schools. [/QUOTE]
