that scholarship does have a value to the player. I do not believe that the school owes that player anything more from a compensation standpoint.

Now, as pointed out elsewhere, if the players can profit off of image and likeness I would expect that the schools would get out in front of that and set up relationships, etc. that would enable to players to maximize their image and likeness value. A school like Notre Dame that has such exposure already as well as a "40 year" education value would stand to be in a very good position in such an environment.

I am OK with image/likeness, but agree the scholarship

has value.

For those who want the athletes to be paid and say the scholarship has no value, why don't we take away their scholarships? That would be true free market. Hey kid...you can come here, and we will pay you $40K per year base plus a performance-based bonus, but if you don't display demonstrated financial need, you had better be prepared to pay your tuition/room/board when every other student pays it, which as a freshman, would be before you start.
