> And doesn’t resolve the issue of allowing students the ability to earn an income if they need to or desire to.

I don't understand what you're arguing here. This is exactly what this was meant to do, allow athletes to earn money on the side by themselves by getting endorsements, running camps, give private lessons, etc.

> you’re telling me they can’t wait a few years and simply focus on their degree and supporting their school’s program?

A decent number of them will flame out in the pros after making basically no money, even relatively high round draft picks. So no, they can't wait because their income is artificially being stunted by the NCAA and by extension the schools. College athletics is a $10 Billion industry, god forbid the athletes everyone watches on TV get a piece of the pie.
