3. Athletes must pay for use of that multimillion dollar facility they get to use for free.
4. Athletes must pay for the trainers, doctors, nutritionalists, physical theripist, and so forth that they currently have FREE access to.

The NCAA received $11 billion for just the NCAA mens basketball tourney rights over 14 years. That's approx. $1 million per player per year.
