Indentured servitude? No one is forcing her to play basketball for Stanford. If she wanted to make money playing ball, no one stopping her from going overseas.

Yes, it's a money making industry. But the majority of their value clearly derives from their status as college athletes, if a good NCAAW player is making 7x average WNBA salary.

Maybe the answer is to give the athletes some flat percentage of TV revenues. But the unregulated NIL market I do think will eventually kill the golden goose for the "revenue sports" as the players are more and more seen to be professional athletes/mercenaries.
