Students athletes gonna be getting paid.......

[Ocelot II]

6. At many universities it's their major source of revenue.

In most states the university's football coach is paid far more than the governor or any other state employee. https://fanbuzz.com/national/highest-paid-state-employees/ It's ridiculous but the schools justify it by making the sports teams their major bait for alumni donations. In the meantime many of the student athletes, who are recruited for their brawn rather than their brains, graduate (if they graduate) with only a slight semblance of an education as most of their time was expended on their sport. Since very few of them will ever make it into professional sports, they're mostly left with nothing but a useless degree, bad knees and brain damage. I see no problem with at least compensating them in some way for being exploited by the schools and their alumni. AFAIC college sports shouldn't be a business at all but just an extracurricular activity like band, but as long as it is the way it is, I think the Supreme Court was correct in treating it like any other business.
