you might argue that was the "value" of the scholarship, but it wasn't the cost. Of course, that doesn't factor in financial aid, grants, etc.

Don't get fooled by the NCAA shell game. Next thing you know we'll be discussing the ramifications of title 9 if football and basketball players are determined to be employees. It's a distraction ploy.

Said better, the value of compensation directly

and if you want to pay the players a salary (it would now be around 85k, I believe), you can 1099 them the money for the tuition and pay them a salary on top of it.

These aren't insurmountable obstacles, but guys like Jack and Fr Jenkins want you to believe that they are.
