How much does the university make off that STEM student while they’re in school?
Really it’s absurd that this multibillion dollar exists while banning having the most important workers, the ones that are actually at risk every game, make any money. Maybe in the early days when it wasn’t an industry. But the minute coaches started making more money than teachers it was an industry and EVERYBODY should have been getting paid.
STEM research assistants often aid in the creation of patented objects and start ups that can yield the college millions. Meanwhile the STEM RA maybe gets a job at the startup as his only recompense.
