given the distasteful history, ok by me that the term "student athlete" disappears.

the term was coined by the ncaa in the 1950s to counter any claim that college athletes were employees and entitled to workers' benefits, such as compensation if injured on the job. it proved persuasive in a death-benefits claim filed by the widow of ray dennison, a fort lewis a&m lineman whose skull was shattered during a 1955 football game. dennison died as a result. the claim was denied.
