Wow, I recall a discussion about this very topic on this website 12+ years ago. I've been waiting for it, and it's finally out in the open because the NCAA is desperate now. Would they really be "student athletes" because they would be paid through a trust fund. Sounds too convenient. Let me guess, that proposed trust fund is managed by the University or the NCAA or both? C'mon. The NCAA is sugar coating this thing in hopes of keeping it under their thumb and making more money to support their platform of lawyers. This NCAA ruse has been going on for way too many years.

I want to hear more about Baker's proposed framework to make what he called “fundamental changes”. I want to hear how this proposal is going to improve the athletes education first, then discuss the money. Too many young athletes miss out on a quality education because they are full time athletes first.
