I imagine some schools are terrified but Stanford doesn’t need athletics. There is so much going on in medicine and science and there is no shortage of high school apps.

I agree.  If "student" athletes are going to be described as "entertainers" entitled to compensation I say eliminate all varsity sports; club level only.   Let's bring colleges back to academic institutions with the primary focus to provide an academic education.

NFL and NBA can set up farm teams for 17 year old kids who want to be paid for what they do and a stinking quarter million dollar scholarship is not enough

Hear, here.  Couldn't agree more.
