Over/under in how much longer Stanford participates in Div. 1 collegiate athletics?

I guess that's the same answer as how much longer until Congress passes a bill allowing players to be paid.  Sounds like Stanford will shut the whole thing down before they pay athletes a dime.

Athletes on full scholarship already get paid more than $70K per year.

Lol...I think you're unaware of how financial aid works at Stanford now.

Maybe, but to me it's pretty simple. If I'm on scholarship I don't pay for tuition room & board. If I'm not on scholarship, I pay $75K per year for those things. So effectively, scholarship athletes are already being paid $75K per year.

I'm pretty sure that if athletes are considered employees in the future, they will get W-2s for the value of their scholarships.
