Well, it’s not a two way street is kind of the point. It is true the athletes get some value, but waiving scholarship fees cost schools nothing. Schools must pay for meals, training staff, equipment, travel, but those are all COGS; every business has expenses.

I think the Pac players have a lot of leverage now, arguably more so than players in any other conference (there are so many rabid B10 and SEC fans that any group of players "demanding" change in a way that would threaten the season might get booed out of the state; meanwhile Hank's position seems pretty popular among fans here).

But will they use it, and, if so, for what ends?
