In this case, there are no scholarships(Ivy league does not hand out athletic scholarships). So, no student is required to do anything.
In other cases where a football player is attending High Brow University on an athletic scholarship, he would be getting paid $100K (?) per year for tuition, room, board, books, fees, etc.
How about if we eliminate ALL athletic scholarships. The schools can pay individuals to play, football, basketball(whatever) but they have to be enrolled in the school, and be academically eligible.
They pay the cost out of their pay for being employees(welcome to the real world).
What if High Brow University is Ball State or Bemidji State?
