I have a far simpler solution. End all athletic scholarships for college sports. Make them true amateurs again. If some poor kid wants to play for money, let them turn pro as soon as they can, stop the farce that these college kids are there for an “education”.

Seems to work for baseball and hockey. Revert all college athletics to the club level.

Yes! This is exactly what needs to happen, then all these Woke Universities can make sure that they are only getting true “Student Athletes”. Everyone else who views the sport as a profession can go to a semi-pro league early or just enter the NFL like athletes do with the NBA and MLB.
