I actually work in European soccer. That's a great example because at 16 top players have professional contracts and can be paid. Especially in the US where people should be paid for the revenue they generate, the college athletes are nowhere from fairly compensated. They can't even make money on their image and likeness!

I totally agree with that. But what about the soccer players who are not good enough to go pro? What do they get out of it? Are they able to convert their soccer skills into free education? As the commercial says, 99% of NCAA athletes will go pro in something other than sports.
Nothing changes for those who don't go pro. They get a free education plus whatever the extra revenue agreement is. They just don't make money in the pros.
