I think we get there before too long Archived Message

But I'm not sure what the path is going to look like? I don't think the schools want athletes as employees and will be dragged that way kicking and screaming. But of course they do love the money so will want to work it out. I wonder if we might see just a further separation, I.e. at one point in the past UIUC made the DIA it's own org but still part of the university. So maybe pushing things down that road where the athletes work for some associated entity that is still affiliated with UIUC but they aren't really UIUC employees? Kind of like what's happening with the PGA Tour, the "not for profit" part of the Tour still exists and manages the events but there's a new "for profit" entity that is getting $$ from SSG and paying out to the players.
