Message: [QUOTE="6Nattys4Us, post: 5169080, member: 13819"] But student athletes are not paid by the University to play - this is indisputable. A scholarship pays for the student's education and boarding which is not a payment to them for services. Even the IRS says for it to be nontaxable to the student, it cannot be a fee for services, which is is not. Barnes is 100% wrong. Athletes are paid for the name, image, and likeness by NIL funds/pools, but not "to play" nor "to shoot" Coaches are paid by the University - they are professionals. Players are students first and foremost. [/QUOTE]
