22% of revenue, not employees, colleges don't accept employer liability. This settlement should be rejected as unconscionable.

Public universities (and private universities which actually care about education!) would be well advised to get out of the business of running professional sports teams, I think.


Big universities make way too much money from sports to ever get out of the business. Not only direct revenue but also alumni and sponsor donations.


The university sector (both public and private) is a mess and this is one of the many, many ways in which that is true.
