I don’t think that’s a realistic possibility. Right now, for example, there’s plenty of money to share a little bit with the athletes and to also support other sports if that’s what the schools choose to do. You could take a school like Alabama where the coach is making $7 million to $8 million a year, what would be so wrong with a system if the coach made $3 million a year and that additional $4 million was available to be shared with the athletes; most of whom will never be a pro, many of whom will never graduate. What would be wrong with that system? We don’t think it would hurt the other sports at all.

New York antitrust and sports law attorney Jeffrey Kessler of Winston & Strawn discusses non-revenue generating college sports.
