Re: College Football Players---Students or Employees?
Probably better, more current, and even hockey-related examples are BU (1997) and Northeastern (2009).
It's clear football is that bad boy on the college sports scene. It's a Title IX nightmare, a scholarship hog (85 schollies, I think), and the biggest impediment to improving graduation rates. The season's over sometime between November and February, and there's little incentive for the non-academically serious football players to even make an attempt at acting like students once the season's over.
